Complications associated with diabetes have a considerable negative impact on patient wellbeing and economic contribution, and place a large burden on healthcare and welfare systems. Annual screening for diabetes-related complications is recommended in treatment guidelines. The IDMPS is a global observational survey on the management and patterns of care of people with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes in the developing world. We report details of the burden of the disease in 2016-17 in 24 countries across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Eurasia. Physician-reported annual screening rates for diabetes-related complications of the eye (retina examination), nerve (monofilament test), kidney (blood or urine test), foot (ulcer examination), blood pressure (SBP/DBP), and metabolism (lipid profile test) ranged from 62.5-94.3% (Table). High rates of complications were recorded (independent of screening); microvascular complications (eye, nervous system, and kidney) were reported in almost 50% of people with T1D or T2D; macrovascular complications (heart conditions and stroke) were reported in 5.9% and 16.0% of people, respectively. Screening for diabetes-related complications in the developing world is not universal. Dedication of more resources to screening may reduce the rates of development or worsening of complications.
