Worldwide, more than 420 million people are living with diabetes.
Two thirds of these have not yet been diagnosed.
When discovered late or improperly managed, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves, leading to disability and early death.
In fact, more people die from diabetes-related diseases than from diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
This course will give you an introduction to the latest research in the field of diabetes prevention and treatment, as well as a broader understanding of the situation in different communities, rich and poor, around the world, where diabetes threatens public health.
What type of disease is diabetes, who has it, and who is at risk for it? And what are the roles of medicine, exercise and nutrition when it comes to preventing, delaying or treating diabetes? During the course, you will meet researchers and experts from Imperial College London, Emory University in Atlanta, the Steno Diabetes Center in Copenhagen, as well as the School of Global Health and the Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen.
They work on very different aspects of diabetes, from microbiology to global public health, but what unites them is the belief that it is a global responsibility to fight diabetes, and this fight can only be won through new knowledge and collaboration. global.
