Diabetes facts and figures show the growing global burden for individuals, families, and countries. The IDF Diabetes Atlas () reports that % of the adult population ( years) has diabetes, with almost half unaware that they are living with the condition.
By , IDF projections show that 1 in 8 adults, approximately million, will be living with diabetes, an increase of 46%.
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:
- Urbanisation
- An ageing population
- Decreasing levels of physical activity
- Increasing overweight and obesity prevalence
However, 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. These measures can help people living with the condition avoid or delay complications.
New diabetes data will be published by the International Diabetes Federation in April

IDF projections show that by , million adults will be living with diabetes – or one in eight adults. This would be an increase of 46%, more than double the estimated population growth (20%) over the same period.
“As the world marks the centenary of the discovery of insulin, I wish I could report we have witnessed decisive action to turn the rising tide of diabetes. Alas I cannot,” comments IDF President, Professor Andrew Boulton. “Diabetes is a pandemic of unprecedented magnitude. Earlier this year, the World Health Organ

Diabetes mellitus, eller i dagligt tal diabetes, tidigare kallad sockersjuka eller bara socker, är en grupp endokrina sjukdomar, där mängden socker (glukos) i blodet är förhöjt.[1]
De vanligaste sorterna är typ 1-diabetes, där autoimmuna processer angriper bukspottkörteln så att den inte producerar tillräckligt av hormonetinsulin,[2] och typ 2-diabetes, där cellerna ute i kroppen får en nedsatt känslighet för insulin så att det tillgängliga insulinet inte kan tas upp.[3] Diabetes är en folksjukdom med cirka &#; drabbade i Sverige.[1][4]
Typiska symptom för obehandlad diabetes är ökad törst och stora urinmängder samt trötthet.[1] Behandling innefattar sund kost, fysisk aktivitet, att hålla en normal kroppsvikt och att inte använda tobak.[1][5] Typ 1-diabetes måste behandlas med injektioner av insulin.[5] Typ 2-diabetes kan behandlas med läkemedel (tabletter som ökar insulinkänsligheten eller insulinfrisättningen) och eventuellt med insulin som tillägg.[5]
