Abstract

Type 2 diabetes has become a worldwide epidemic, esti¬mated to affect 1 in 14 adults, or 380 million people, globally by 2025.The problem is particularly acute in Australia, where the preva¬lence of diagnosed diabetes more than doubled between 1989 and 2005, amounting to 3 million people affected by the disease. Diabetes is the most common reason for renal dialysis, blindness in people < 60 years of age, nontraumatic lower-limb amputation, and cardiovascular dis¬ease and is the sixth-highest cause of death by disease in Australia.
