Yaşam süresinin uzamasına bağlı olarak toplumumuzda kronik hastalıkların insidansı giderek artmaktadır. Bulaşıcı bir hastalık olmamasına rağmen ülkemizde dahil tüm dünyada görülme sıklığında sürekli artış gösteren kronik hastalıklardan biri de diyabettir. 21. yüzyılın epidemisi olarak nitelendirilen diyabet; tedavi, bakım ve komplikasyonları sebebi ile bireye, aileye ve topluma yük getiren, kronik hastalıklar içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip bir hastalık haline gelmektedir (Yıldırım, Hacıhasanoğlu, Bozdemir, Hacıhasanoğlu Aşılar, 2020; Zheng, Ley, Hu, 2018; Samancığlu, 2016). International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2021 yılı verilerine göre; dünyada yaklaşık 537 milyon yetişkinin diyabetle yaşadığı belirtilmektedir.

Şen, Hatice
Yaşam süresinin uzamasına bağlı olarak toplumumuzda kronik hastalıkların insidansı giderek artmaktadır. Bu durum hem birey hem de ülke ekonomisi üzerinde yük oluşturmakta aynı zamanda sağlık harcamalarının azaltılmasını ve teknolojik uygulamaların kullanılmasını zorunlu hale getirmektedir (Gözgü & Mutioğlu, 2012).
