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.
