participants of the Conference the president of the Lithuanian Diabetes
Association Vida Augustiniene expressed concern about this meeting being not
only a festival. It is devoted for discussion about aims and problems of
diabetes care strategy. These problems must be solved as soon as possible.
V.Augustiniene presented information about diabetes prevalence in the World and
Lithuania, reminded about the aims of the Lithuanian Diabetes Association,
reviewed 15-year activities and achievements of organization for the wellfare
of patients, showed the rich visual material about activities and presented the
resolution of conference, encouraging health institutions to take urgent
actions improving diabetes control. She thanked to the main sponsor of the
event Roche Diagnostics as well as partners and supporters of the LDA
activities. Diabetes spreads all over the
world as epidemic. About 35 millions people had diabetes in 1985, about 194
millions were diagnosed in 2004 and the prognosis for 2025 is about 330
millions people. According to data from the International Diabetes Federation
Diabetes Atlas’ 2003, the prevalence of diabetes between 20-79 year-old people
in Lithuania is 9.4 %, that is, greatly more than the world average (5.1 %) and
the European average (7.8 %), but similar to Latvian (9.9 %) and Estonian (9.7
%). The prognosis for 2025 is 10.8 % in Lithuania, 6.3 % in the world, 9.1 % in
Europe, 11.1 % in Latvia and 11 % in Estonia. There is no exact date of
people with diabetes in Lithuania. Data are diffrent in different sources of
information. For example, the publication “Diabetes around the world” of
International Diabetes Federation (1989) states that prevalence of diabetes is
2.54 %, and according to 2003 data of Information Centre of Lithuanian Health
Ministry, only 1.95 % people registered as having diabetes. According to
epidemiological researches in 35-64 year old group by KMU Institute of
Endocrinology, during 1986-1987 1.7 % of men and 3.15 % of women had diabetes,
and during 2001-2002 already were 3.76 % of men and 4.56 % of women with
diabetes. The Lithuanian Diabetes
Association testing people in risk group finds 12.5-17.8 % people with
increased blood glucose. Over 90 % of them are elderly, over 80 % of them
having over-weight; about 18 % have close relatives with diabetes. There are many people with
diabetes in Lithuania who are not treated. They are diagnosed only after the
complications appear. That’s why the number of cases of invalidity grows every
year. According to the data of Committee of Medical Social Examination, over
900 new cases of invalidity are diagnosed every year. These
data shows, that while we do not pay enough attention and money to
prophylactics, do not educate our society and do not educate patients how to
control their disease properly, the money spent treating diabetes complications
grow up. ORGANIZATIONAL

information about LDA is provided and the benefits of being the member of LDA
is stressed. “Diabetes” presents Diabetes school in LDA: Dr. Egle Rudinskiene
consults and educates people with diabetes in the office of LDA in Vilnius. Page 5 The conference “Strategy of diabetes care. An input of the Lithuanian
Diabetes Association” 28 January, 2005,
Vilnius The Resolution of Lithuanian Diabetes Association Confirmed during the meeting of Council of Lithuanian Diabetes
Association, 28 January, 2005, Protocol No. 9 During 15 year of
independency and LDA activities diabetes care is changed beyond recognition and
it was greatly improved during 1995-1999. Unfortunately,
we must agree that while a reform of general practice doctors is going on, care
of people with diabetes worsted again. Since 1995, help for people
with diabetes in Lithuania was improved and spread rapidly. Diabetes schools
were funded near endocrinology cabinets and cabinets of diabetic foot were
opened. Many high quality diabetes educators and diabetic foot care nurses were
prepared for a work. Using common strengths of endocrinologists, diabetes
educators and nurses, preventing and qualified diabetes care was created. While conducting a reform of general
practice doctors the old system was distorted in a slow way – most diabetes
schools and diabetic foot cabinets were closed and the new system does not work. People with diabetes do not
get the proper help while visiting the center of primary health care. Family
doctors do not deliver them necessary knowledge about proper diet as well as
about disease control. It is common case when blood glucose is tested only once
or twice per year. Several years the same treating is adopted and it is not
corrected, in spite of threatening complications. People with badly compensated
diabetes are not sent to endocrinologist or other specialists. Some clinics
artificially limit sending to specialists. Not only patients are
unsatisfied with the system, but endocrinologists as well. Patients are sent
them too late, after a long period of uncontrolled diabetes. Family doctors do
not keep the order of patients’ control and sending for consultations, which is
delivered in “Methodic of diabetes diagnostic criteria and ambulatory
treatment, budgeted from obligatory health insurance fund” (the order No. 422
of Health Minister, 14 August, 2002). While diabetes spreads as
epidemic, it is necessary to guarantee control of disease and prevent
complications and invalidity. It is necessary to improve patients’ care. That
is the reason to inform Health Ministry: Pages 6-9 15 years for Lithuanian Diabetes
Association Summary of quests’ speeches Health Minister Prof. Zilvinas
Padaiga congratulates and thanks the Lithuanian Diabetes Association for
15-year work, which is an example to other organizations in Lithuania and
foreign countries. He met president of LDA many times in the international
conferences, knows her presentations in world conferencies. The LDA and Health
Ministry are the partners. LDA realizes its obligations very correctly and aim
fully. Health Ministry
agrees with the fact that institution of general practice doctors worsened the
situation for people with diabetes, but the argument is the practice of the
world. This reform must be renewed and revised. The support with
self-control tools is improved as well. Health Minister stated, that the LDA is
to prepare a program on that topic and Health Ministry obliges to discuss on
that theme along with the LDA. Several years ago diabetes was unhopeful
disease, and now patients have a strong organization, defending their rights. Prof. Antanas Norkus in the name of all
endocrinologists congratulates V.Augustiniene for achievement in an
international area. Diabetes is
diagnosed for 64 thousand people in Lithuania, still there is only a
one-quarter of all patients, that is, we need more prophylactic work. There are
many people with diabetes who are treated with diet and it is an earning of the
LDA. The situation at the moment is very bad in all spheres of diabetes control
and there is much work on it. It is necessary to renew a National diabetes
program, prepare methodic of diabetes care and control. Prof. Juozas Danilevicius thanked to all speakers,
arising urgent diabetes questions. It is hard to say exact number of people
with diabetes in Lithuania. The army of doctors work, still results are
negative. In many cases money and organizational work is lacked. The first time
in Lithuanian history Health Minister is doctor with a speciality of diabetes
and he must evaluate this situation more accurately. He invited all people help
LDA fighting with spreading diabetes. Prof. Isuf Kalo stated, that very important
is the system of health care. The doctors may be perfect, but, if system is
bad, it will not help them. So such a system must be created. We have a plenty
of good medicine, but we do not know how to use it. There are no proper
communication between patient and doctor. We lack prophylactic in all areas,
not only in diabetes treating. He evaluated results of implementation of recommendations
of St Vincent Declaration, informed about very important results of DAWN study. Mrs. Lilly Karn remembers her work in
Lithuania 15 years ago. LDA did not exist yet. Lilly Karn visited Lithuanian
children with her material help and met Vida Augustiniene, who became her
representative of people with diabetes in Lithuania. Lilly Karn brought to
Lithuania a new approach to people with diabetes as normal people. The assistant
director of State Patients’ Fund Haroldas
Baubinas answered the questions. Vice President of
the International Diabetes Federation Valentina
Ocheretenko congratulated the LDA as well. 15 year is very short time for
organization, but your activities proved your value to us. The LDA became a
very valuable member in our federation. One of the main reasons is the
President of your organization. The first aim is to spread information about
our organization and us. The second is researching reasons of diabetes.
Guaranteeing proper care of diabetes is our third aim. The main aim of all people
is to fight for patients’ rights till the victory. Some guests were
asked for their comments during the coffee break of conference: Odeta Jureviciene told about the members of
blind people with diabetes club of Sauliai. They especially need a strict care
of diabetes. These people do not have any ability to go out side, read
literature and test blood glucose. This club seeks to help them and the LDA
helps in this work very greatly. The chief of
Klaipeda diabetes club “Smalsuciai” Jolanta
Jasiulioniene tells, that after the news of her daughter disease frightened
her very much. In that moment a need to communicate with other parents having
children with diabetes appeared. Some parents met in a trip and funded a club
for such children and their parents. The club strives to spread knowledge about
disease in all the society. The chief of
Mazeikiai diabetes club Faina Juozeniene
is happy for membership in the LDA for plenty of useful information and great
help of the president of the LDA. Dr. Nijole Voveraitiene doubts if this event is sad
because of 15 years, which made them older, or it is happy because of many jobs
made in sake of people with diabetes. The president of the LDA Vida
Augustiniene must be thanked especially; still, there are many other people who
did greatly in diabetes care. Association grew up and it is a teenager, but it
did many adult works as well. It is not easy to satisfy all readers of
“Diabetes”; still, medical articles are needed mostly. All the literature about
diabetes is like help-circle for those who drown. Lets love us and use this
circle. Pages 10-13 Prof. Juozas
Danilevicius presents information about contemporary criteria important for
treating diabetes. He tells about critical situation nowadays and stresses how
important to keep to these criteria very strictly. These criteria are normal
blood glucose, body weight, and blood pressure. Page 11 Page 13 Page 14 It is important to
unite patients, medics, scientists and representatives of pharmacy companies as
well. Roche Diagnostics is the leader of pharmacy companies and it is a partner
of the LDA while fighting with diabetes in Lithuania. Advertisement on self-control tools
