 WORLDWIDE DIABETES STATISTICS

Over 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, which is driven by socio-economic, demographic, environmental, and genetic factors. The key contributors to the rise in type 2 diabetes include: ● Urbanization ● An aging population ● Decreasing levels of physical activity ● Increasing overweight and obesity prevalence It is possible to reduce the impact of diabetes by taking preventive measures for type 2 diabetes and providing early diagnosis and proper care for all types of diabetes.
