A new study published in The Lancet reveals that the global prevalence of diabetes has doubled since 1990, surpassing 800 million cases. India leads with 212 million cases, accounting for over a quarter of the global total. The study highlights significant healthcare challenges, with more than half of adults aged over 30 with diabetes not receiving treatment. The biggest increases in diabetes prevalence have occurred in developing countries, contributing to the global rise in lifestyle diseases. The study calls for intensified global efforts to tackle the diabetes crisis and address treatment gaps worldwide.
