Abstract Despite the fact that diabetes and other non-communicable diseases represent a significant proportion of the global burden of disease proportionate global action has not occurred. A 2003 article reported on global constraints to the implementation of effective policies to curb noncommunicable disease epidemics. These constraints include a lack of global advocacy insufficient attention from funding agencies and governments partnerships and interactions capacity and resources and global norms and standards as well as orientation of health services to acute care. Building on these ideas this paper will review the progress that has been made with regards to each constraint focusing on the International Diabetes Federation s Unite for Diabetes campaign and United Nations resolution on diabetes to show how this event - driven by globalization - has helped remove some of these .
