Research Title: Challenges of Millennials (Generation Y) with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes in an increasingly “Diabetogenic” World
My aim was to find out how diabetes is affecting the millennial and younger generations in today’s world. Diabetes being the major leading chronic disease across the globe.
Abstract: The significant increase of diabetes incidence since the 1980’s is a cause of concern by health professionals and organisations. This global epidemic widely affects the millennial generation (1980-2000) because they are the largest generational cohort today. The increase of diabetes incidence among millennials coincides with significant environmental, cultural, work, lifestyle and diet revolutions which is rarely seen in the previous generational cohorts. This paper states the various challenges faced by millennials during the process of prevention and managing diabetes in their daily lives and the factors which could have led to the rise of this epidemic. Analysis of diabetes incidence data from previous generational cohorts is studied to uncover what factors could be linked to this rise of diabetes cases among millennials. Additionally, this paper explores the ways latest technology can play a bigger role in prevention and cure of diabetes in an effective manner. Such as harnessing the effectiveness of latest innovations like fitness tracking and big data for chronic disease data analysis for improved treatment and care.
