Diebetes is more and more epidemic worldwide.Diabetes can not noly elevate our blood gluose but also lead to some complications which will shorten our lifetime, decrease quality of our life and add our financial burden.Which factor is linked to the diabetes? We want to explore whether diabetic health conditions will be affected by education level.The reasons for doing this research are as follows.Firstly,according to our survey,we have kown that diabetes is influenced by our diet,physical activity and other lifestyle.Many social factors can be reflected by education level such as income, occupation,social status and so on.From educational level, we can have a comprehensive understanding of patient’s conditions.Secondly,educational level refers to our ability to learn knowledge like health literacy. The more educated the public is ,the more concerned they are about health problems , and the better management they will have of diabetes, thus control or delay the development of diabetes.The evidence on educational level is limited.To fill the knowledge gap,we plan to evaluate diabetes educational level from UK biobank and find an objective outcome .Our aim is to help the public know more about diabetics and can get benifit from it.The estimated duration of our project is about 36 months.
