Diabetes (Munich American Reinsurance Medletter)

180 million people suffer from diabetes mellitus at the present time. And there will be 300 million by the year 2025, according to World Health Organization estimates. This dramatic increase will also be reflected in the application portfolio of the insurer. It is therefore all the more important to be able to assess the different types of disease and also the early forms of metabolic disorder with respect to the real associated risk. Diabetic complications, HbA1c and urinalysis findings provide reliable information about the long-term prognosis.
