According to research done by the Health Promotion Adminis-tration in 2015, 11.8%, or 2.27 million people, of Taiwan's population suffered from diabetes. Although diabetes has become a universal and chronic disease in Taiwan, it is still largely ignored by the public. Diabetes was the fifth leading cause of death in 2015, with concomi-tant kidney diseases, great and small vessel disorders, neuropathy, and retinopathy becoming silent killers that threaten our health and affect our quality of life. The World Health Organization {WHO) sug-gests preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes by adopting healthy lifestyles, particularly maintaining normal weight, regular physical activity, and healthy diets. Meanwhile, Taiwan has estab-lished the Diabetes Shared Care System. Patients can cure their diabetes and improve their self-care abilities with the assistance of a care team made up of physicians, nurses, and nutritionists.
