Diabetes, a major type of noncommunicable disease, currently affects 10.5% of adults globally, with almost half unaware that they are living with the condition. In this episode of Laborastories, hosted by Dr. Ian Lentnek from Siemens Healthineers, Dr. Zehra Yonel, an academic clinical lecturer at University of Birmingham in the U.K., will share her insights and latest research on how allied healthcare professionals like dentists can help address this public health concern through early screening.
