Health policy has a direct impact on health education initiatives, health care delivery, resource allocation, and quality of life. Increasing rates in the epidemics of obesity and obesity-dependent diabetes mellitus (aka diabesity) suggest that health policy changes should be included in health education and disease prevention strategies. Health policies should provide a clearly emitted set of guidelines and priorities in health. The implementation of health policies designed to decrease obesity and diabetes rates, as well as the creation of new international visions can have a profound impact on reducing this epidemic.
