There are 425 million adult diabetic patients worldwide, the majority of which are type 2 diabetes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) including stroke, coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial disease, which is the leading cause of disability and death in patients with type 2 diabetes. factor.

To commemorate World Heart Day on September 29, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) released a global survey of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes in Copenhagen, Denmark on September 28. The study, "Taking Diabetes to Heart," is the first online multidisciplinary study of type 2 diabetes, conducted by IDF in collaboration with Novo Nordisk to understand patients with type 2 diabetes. Cognition and knowledge of cardiovascular disease. Participants in this survey were from more than 130 countries and regions around the world, and received a total of 12,695 respondents to the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The results of the survey showed that two-thirds of patients with type 2 diabetes had CVD risk factors such as high blood pressure, poorly controlled blood glucose levels and high cholesterol, or CVD events such as angina, myocardial infarction, stroke or heart failure. However, 1/4 of the respondents had never discussed their CVD risk factors with their doctors, or they could not recall the relevant discussions, and only a quarter of the respondents thought they had lower cardiovascular risk.

Three-quarters of patients with type 2 diabetes who were surveyed expressed trust in CVD-related information provided by doctors. More than half of the respondents indicated that they need to learn more about the risk factors associated with CVD, in order to better understand these risk factors and prevent CVD. occur. The findings will be used for policy development and decision-making processes for severe diabetic complications.

Professor ID H. Cho, President of IDF, said: "These findings confirm our concerns about the rising prevalence of diabetes and related complications worldwide. Unfortunately, the perception of diabetes-related risks and their consequences is still very high. Low, education for diabetes complications is also very scarce. IDF calls on governments to invest in early detection methods for type 2 diabetes to ensure that medical professionals are trained to guide people to actively change their lifestyles and better manage their own Diabetes. This will help patients prevent diabetes complications that can lead to disability and even life-threatening." Professor Stephen Gough, Global Chief Medical Officer of Novo Nordisk, said: "The results of the IDF survey are very shocking, while further highlighting the awareness and making people Understand the importance of CVD risk and its impact on patients with type 2 diabetes."

USB Laser Distance Sensor

JRT usb interface distance sensor board adds a USB port to a Laser Distance Sensor, inexpensive laser distance measurement sensors, allowing customers directly using GBeacon-2.3-Fx.exe software to control the rangefinder sensor. Usb laser distance sensors are the the most popular model devices, it works by measuring the phase of an visible-red laser beam that reflects on the target. Usually, customers would like to choose CH341SER.EXE version to test.
