Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important public health problem of our time [1]. According to European Health Survey in Spain, diabetes is 6.8% of the diagnosed chronic disease in people over the age of 15 in 2014 [2]. There are studies that claim that most chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, are related to unhealthy lifestyles [3]. These lifestyles produce obesity in the people, associated causative factor of type 2 DM which in turn relates to an increased cardiovascular risk [3-4]. Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a chronic and complex disease, which required continuous care. For that reason diabetes brings about 75.000 million euros of health expenditure in Europe [5], which means high levels of sanitary and economics costs.
