Strategic Plan to Fight Diabetes Announced by NIH


Posted on Mar 31, 2011

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a new strategic plan to fight diabetes. This plan is being developed by a federal work group by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).

This strategic plan will work to prevent, treat and cure diabetes.
Diabetes can become a debilitating disease often resulting in additional medical complications.

Some of the specific goals of this plan include:
 

  • preventing complications affecting kidneys, eyes, nervous system, heart and other organs;
  • understanding how obesity affects the development of diabetes;
  • understanding how obesity and diabetes are affected by environment and genetics; 
  • learning which autoimmune mechanisms are at work in type 1 diabetes;
  • reducing the impact of diabetes on groups with the highest rates of this disease; and
  • developing artificial pancreas technologies to improve blood sugar management levels.  


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), indicates that in the United States 1 in every 10 adults has diabetes. Many individuals aren't even aware they have the condition. It is estimated by the year 2050, as many as 1 in 3 adults could develop diabetes.

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or are suffering any related complications, you should consult with a New York Social Security disability lawyer who can determine if you qualify for Social Security disability benefits.
