Diabetes in Kuwait Very Alarming!



The International Diabetes Federation estimates that there are 246 million adults with diabetes. The Western Pacific region and Europe have the highest number of people with diabetes, approximately 67 and 53 million, respectively. The highest prevalence rates are found in North America (9.2 percent) and Europe (8.4 percent).

The five countries with the largest numbers of people that suffer from diabetes are India, China, United States, Russia and Germany. The five countries with the highest prevalence rates are Nauru, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait.

The number of people with diabetes is expected to increase alarmingly in the coming decades, rising to 380 million people in 2025. Developed countries have higher prevalence rates than developing countries, but the latter will be hit the hardest by the diabetes epidemic. Increased urbanization, westernization and economic development in developing countries have already contributed to a substantial rise in diabetes.
