FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 4, 2011 -- Qadhi Saeed Al Murooshid, Director-General of Dubai Health Authority, said a number of procedures to control the disease
were put into action after a study led to improved patients’ health by controlling their glucose levels.

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) anticipates that by 2030, 11% of the Middle East and North Africa region or
59.7 million people will be living with diabetes. Six out of the world's top ten countries with the highest prevalence of
diabetes are in the region.

IDF estimates that there are as many as 19.2 million people still undiagnosed. The new regional figures also show that the
prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the region for younger age groups is substantially higher than the global average.

The United Arab Emirates is the logical and strategic choice for IDF's flagship event from 4-8 December 2011,the biennial
World Diabetes Congress, organised by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
