The diabetes market, consisting mainly of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, is large and growing significantly. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease; it appears in childhood, is lifelong and currently must be treated with insulin. Type 2 diabetes typically appears in middle age. It is linked to obesity and therefore is more prevalent in developed countries with relatively affluent lifestyles, sedentary occupations and dietary overindulgence. Monitoring devices include blood glucose monitors and various types of accessories such as lancing devices used to draw the droplets of blood required for glucose measurement.
It is widely recognized that the prevalence of the commonest type of diabetes mellitus, Type 2, is now reaching epidemic proportions all over the world. Cases of Type 1 DM are also on the increase, although to a less spectacular degree.
