I.NTRODUCTION
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism which there is
a discrepancy between the amount of insulin required by the body and the amount of insulin available.
Diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in Asian countries including the Philippines. Both the prevalence
and incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) continue to increase with a commensurate upward trend in the
prevalence of prediabetes.
The prevalence of diabetes in the Philippines is increasing. Rapid urbanization with increasing
dependence on electronic gadgets and sedentary lifestyle contribute significantly to this epidemic. Diabetes
care in the Philippines is disadvantaged and challenged with respect to resources, government support, and
economics. The national insurance system does not cover comprehensive diabetes care in a preventive
model and private insurance companies only offer limited diabetes coverage. Thus, most patients rely on
“out-of-pocket” expenses, namely, laboratory procedures and daily medications. Consequently, poor
pharmacotherapy adherence impairs prevention of complications. Moreover, behavioral modifications are
difficult due to cultural preferences for a traditional diet of refined sugar, including white rice and bread.
Type 2 Diabetes, also known as Non-Insulin-Dependent (NIDDM) are patients who are not
dependent on insulin. They either have insulin resistance or have an impaired insulin secretions and
accounts to 80-90% of DM Patients. Beta cells have no insulitis, and resistance to insulin occurs in the
target cells. Insulin resistance is associated with increased levels of free fatty acids in the blood, reduce
glucose transport in muscle cells, elevated hepatic glucose production, and increased breakdown of fat.
(Sommers & Fannin, 2015)
Since diabetic patients are hyperglycemic, they are at a higher risk for infection because an elevated
glucose encourages bacterial growth. The combination of peripheral neuropathies with numbness of the
extremities, peripheral vascular disease leading to poor tissue perfusion, and the risk for infection makes
the diabetic patient prone to feet and leg ulcers. (Sommers & Fannin, 2015)
