Why is Diabetes a Global Concern?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of individuals globally. The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing over the past few decades, primarily due to lifestyle changes, urbanization, and an aging population. According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 463 million adults were living with diabetes in 2019, and this number is expected to rise to 700 million by 2045. The burden of diabetes is not only felt by individuals but also by healthcare systems and economies, making it a significant global health issue.
