Diabetes affected 422 million people in 2014, up from 108 million in 1980. Compared to high-income countries, prevalence has been increasing more quickly in low- and middle-income nations.
Diabetes is a significant contributor to renal disease, heart attacks, strokes, blindness, and lower limb amputation.
Age-specific diabetes mortality rates increased by 3% between 2000 and 2019.
An estimated 2 million people died in 2019 from diabetes-related renal damage.
Diet, exercise, medication, and routine screening and treatment for complications can all help treat diabetes and delay or prevent its effects. Diabetes develops when your body's cells are unable to absorb sugar (glucose) and use it as fuel. As a result, your bloodstream begins to accumulate additional sugar.
Diabetes that is not properly managed can have catastrophic effects and harm a number of body organs and tissues, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
