Diabetes is purely a metabolic malfunction due to which a person has high blood sugar levels
either because the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or because of the cells not
responding to the insulin that is produced.
As the popular adage says, prevention is always better than cure. There are hundreds of healthy
ways on how to keep this at bay. If already diagnosed diabetic, no worries, as there are
thousands of ways on how to master control over the demon.
Have a look at the facts presented on the way it is spreading.
• 366 million people have diabetes in 2011; by 2030 this will have risen to 552 million
• The number of people with type 2 diabetes is increasing in every country
• 80% of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries
• The greatest number of people with diabetes are between 40 to 59 years of age
• 183 million people (50%) with diabetes are undiagnosed
• Diabetes caused 4.6 million deaths in 2011
• Diabetes caused at least USD 465 billion dollars in healthcare expenditures in 2011; 11%
of total healthcare expenditures in adults (20-79 years)
• 78,000 children develop type 1 diabetes every year
