World Diabetes Day: Putting a spotlight on the dual burden of diabetes and TB (post)
14 November 2020, Geneva | Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s top infectious killer claiming 1.4 million lives in 2019. As we mark World Diabetes Day on 14th November, we need to underscore the role of diabetes as a key driver for TB and a risk factor for poor tuberculosis treatment outcomes in people with diabetes. Diabetes is also associated with a two-fold risk of death during TB treatment and a four-fold risk of TB relapse after treatment completion. Diabetes is associated with a 2-3 times increased risk of TB, including drug resistant TB. Evidence suggests that the risk of TB increases with poorly managed diabetes. Diabetes was the cause of TB in an estimated 350,000 people in 2019 – many of which could have been prevented had diabetes been prevented or well managed. Diabetes and TB place a heavy dual burden on those ill with both diseases.
