These two silent killers are responsible for numbers of premature mortality and morbidity. It is amongst the leading causes of blindness, renal failure, heart attacks, strokes and limb amputations. Due to a compromised immune system, bacterial and fungal infections are also common and pose a health hazard for people with diabetes.

Effective intervention reduces the health and economic burden of diabetes.
