Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both important health issues. A bidirectional association between them has been demonstrated by many researchers. The link of DM and TB is more prominent in developing countries where TB is endemic and the burden of diabetes mellitus is increasing. The association between diabetes and tuberculosis may be the next challenge for global tuberculosis control worldwide. Proper planning and collaboration are necessary to reduce the dual burden of diabetes and TB. One model similar to the TB-HIV program for prevention, screening and treatment of both diseases can be the best approach. In this paper, we review existing data and discuss the matters of controversy that would be helpful for determining research priorities in different countries.
结核病（TB）和糖尿病（DM）都是重要的健康问题。许多研究人员已证实它们之间存在双向关联。在结核病流行且糖尿病负担不断增加的发展中国家，糖尿病与结核病之间的联系更为突出。糖尿病与结核病之间的关联可能是全球结核病控制面临的下一个挑战。为减轻糖尿病和结核病的双重负担，进行适当规划与协作很有必要。一种类似于结核病-艾滋病防治项目的针对这两种疾病的预防、筛查和治疗模式可能是最佳方法。在本文中，我们回顾现有数据并讨论有争议的问题，这将有助于确定不同国家的研究重点。
