As noted, diabetes is a global problem that has only grown over the years. According to the International Diabetes Federation, more than 425 million people suffer from this disease in the world, most of them are patients with type 2 diabetes.

Experts note that in developed countries the number of diabetics doubles every 15 years, and so far this growth has not been stopped. According to forecasts, by 2040 the number of diabetics will reach 642 million and 540 thousand of them will be children under 14 years old. Because of the severity of the problem, WHO has declared diabetes a 21st century epidemic.
In Uzbekistan, the number of patients with diabetes is more than 245 thousand, of which more than 2.3 thousand children, 879 adolescents. Based on the screening data in several regions of the country, in fact, the number of people with diabetes may be greater. This is what makes endocrinologists alert, pay serious attention to early diagnosis of the disease, use innovative methods of treatment, urge representatives of other specialties to unite in the name of saving the lives of thousands of people. The main goal of the scientific and practical conference is to draw attention to the problem of diabetes by endocrinologists, cardiologists, neuropathologists, oculists, vascular surgeons and others, to develop a unified modern approach with them.
