The number of people suffering from diabetes worldwide will more than double to 1.3 billion by 2050 driven by structural racism and gaping inequality between countries, new research predicted on Friday (Jun 23). Every country on the globe will see an increase in the number of patients with the chronic disease, according to the most comprehensive analysis of global data projecting out to 2050.
Some 529 million people were estimated to already be living with diabetes, one of the top 10 causes of death and disability.

Cut the carbs!
Eat the bugs and be happy!....................
How?
Well, we all be dead by then from global warming?
“...driven by structural racism”
Really? Then I don’t care.
This trend may track obesity levels although thinner people can get diabetes too. Certainly the extra poundage does not help.
It's like telling us that all of a sudden...20% of children have adhd...when they're perfectly normal, active healthy kids...
Cut the carbs and quit drinking. An old friend had diabetes, carb cutting was his religion, but he wouldn’t stop drinking. Did him in.
I’m assuming most of these are Type II adult onset and lifestyle related/driven?
Right.
It's NOT overeating and under exercising. It's NOT making their diets animal protein heavy and plant-based deficient.
It's NOT that. It's from things outside of their control. They're helpless ... victims of others. Oh, the humanity.
Alcohol is carbs....................just in liquid form............
When I go to the doctors for my annual, I wear baggy clothes so I look thinner.............
You betcha. I never drank much, gave up that nightly glass of wine years ago. And my friend never drinks at all. She is overweight and needs to switch to seed bread.
Except for spirits, surprisingly.
Of course, they are high in calories so drinker beware.
Calories is energy. Unused energy get stored. Stored energy is FAT...................
> driven by structural racism...
Maybe carbs in the diet might be a bigger driver.
Didn’t read further to get to the obligatory global warming reference.
Ha ha but scales don’t lie. :-)
Most likely due to overfeeding It means that we are becoming more obese. A sign of having enough food. Now, even that is racist and inequitable.
DM type 2 doesn’t fat shame you. It lets you kill yourself early if you dont control it. It says”bye-bye, Mr./Ms./It Large portion hero”
will there be enough people left? I thought world pop will drastically be reduced by 2025 - Deagle or some such article?
Get rid of HFCS in our food supply and diabetes will return to ‘normal’ levels of our ancestors...............
