Summary
A new Lancet study reveals global diabetes rates have doubled since 1990, affecting over 800 million people, with the steepest rise in low- and middle-income countries.
Key contributors include rising obesity and aging populations. Over half of global diabetes cases are concentrated in India, China, the U.S., and Pakistan.
Despite effective treatments, many low-income countries struggle with access, leaving 59% of diabetics untreated.
Health experts urge stronger policies to promote healthy diets, increase exercise opportunities, and improve access to care to combat this growing public health crisis.
And 100 million of them are in the USA
5% to 10%?
This graph stops at 2014 but extrapolating to today 5% to 10% seems about right.
Well if this is true… How da faq is this a big dela lol double the rate…
Feeding people slop, no way to tell who to blame.
