Diabetes is a serious global public health problem, which develops rapidly and does great harm to people's health. In recent years, the medical expenditure caused by diabetes and its complications has increased sharply, which has brought huge losses to the labor force in developing countries. It is estimated that in 2007, about 246 million people in the world suffered from diabetes, of which 46% were working people aged 40-59. If no measures are taken, it is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetic patients in the world will increase to 380 million, of which 80% will be concentrated in low-and middle-income countries. At present, there are more than 20 million diabetic patients in China, and the trend is increasing year by year. In addition, there are nearly 20 million people with impaired glucose tolerance. Diabetes has become an important public health problem in China.
