Diabetes
Mellitus is an epidemiology problems in the world, both prevalence and
incidence increase year by year. This is a metabolic disease related to inadequate
insulin hormone.
As one of most populated country, Indonesia also has a high
diabetes mellitus population. According to Shaw et al predict 10 ten diabetes
mellitus countries.
Based on the table, we can see that in 2010 Indonesia posed
as the 9th populated diabetes country with a number of patients as 7 million,
then increase rapidly in 2030 as the 6th populated diabetes country with a
number of patients as 12 million.
However, there is a limitation of research and publication related
to diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Based on Diabetes research and clinical
practice journal (IDF Journal), there are no authors from Indonesia.
In comparison with the UK, Japan and China, there are so
many authors (and researchers) who conduct diabetes research. Interestingly,
even though not so many diabetes cases in Korea, but they are leading in
diabetes research.
This is a challenge to Indonesia health care profession to
conduct research with will leading to increase the quality of care among
diabetes patients.
