​As per a new study, the global burden of diabetes is expected to cross 1 billion by 2050. “Our study included more than 27,000 data sources to produce estimates of diabetes prevalence, disability and deaths for 204 countries and territories from 1990 through 2021. Using a modeling tool that takes into account sociodemographic factors and obesity, we projected diabetes prevalence out to 2050,” the researchers have told The Conversation.​
