The number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Prevalence has been rising more rapidly in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.
Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation.
Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 5% increase in premature mortality from diabetes.
In 2019, an estimated 1.5 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose in 2012.
A healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications.

Diabetes is a condition when blood glucose levels are too high. Insulin hormone secreted by pancreas which control blood glucose level by allowing excess glucose to be stored in cells in form of glycogen for later use.
Explanation:
- there are two type of diabetes.
- in type I diabetes, body cannot make insulin. it is an autoimmune condition where body's own immune cells attack those pancreatic cell that produce insulin.
- In type 2 diabetes pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or cells respond poorly to insulin because of defective insulin receptor and cell cannot take up enough glucose. therefore blood glucose level becomes high.
- Insulin injections are used as a treatment for diabetes where pancreas does not make enough insulin.
