Diabetes
According to the World Health Organization, diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. It affects approximately 422 mln people worldwide with about 1.5 mln deaths directly attributed to diabetes each year. In the framework of our project we will study the most acute problems associated with diabetes treatment in close collaboration with medical doctors from Department of Endocrinology of Osmania General Hospital and Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, India.
