THE INCIDENCE RATE OF DIABETES MELLITUS AND PRE-DIABETES IN KORCA - ALBANIA, IN 2015
Abstract
Background: The worldwide prevalence of DM has risen dramatically over the past two decades, from an estimated 30 million cases in 1985 to 285 million in 2010. Based on current trends, the International Diabetes Federation project that 438 million individuals will have diabetes by the year 2030.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence rate of Diabetes Mellitus and Prediabetes in Korca, during 2015.
Materials and Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2015, all consecutive individuals, referred from primary doctors in policlinic or hospital of Korca, doubting Diabetes Mellitus, were recruited and underwent diagnostic procedures. HbA₁c and/or fasting glucose and 2h postprandial glucose was used to diagnose Diabetes Mellitus and Pre-diabetes. The C Peptide was measured to diagnose type 1 from other types of Diabetes. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. A register of new-diagnosed Diabetic individuals was opened.
Results: 288 people were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus; 4 people were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes; 4 people with pre-diabetes (Impaired glucose tolerance); and 4 people with secondary forms of diabetes. The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 144/100,000 per year. The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus was 2/100,000 per year. The incidence rate of pre-diabetes and secondary forms of diabetes was 2/100,000 per year respectively. The most affected age was 60-69.No difference in incidence between men and women in type 2 diabetes. According time at diagnoses the most frequent months were April and December.
Conclusion: The incidence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 144/100,000 per year. The incidence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus was 2/100,000 per year. The incidence rate of pre-diabetes and secondary forms of diabetes were 2/100,000 per year respectively.
