Controversies still exist on the issues pertaining to its prevalence, screening, clinical management, and impact on maternal and neonatal outcome. A massive cross-sectional household survey conducted in 2006 involving 34,539 respondents aged 18 years and beyond had identified the prevalence of diabetes among Malaysian as 11.6%2.

A major measure taken to improve diabetes care came in the form of a national guideline, which had been introduced since 1992 in Malaysia.
