If rates of diabetes double, it could stress health care systems beyond the breaking point, experts fear.
Health experts call the rapid rise in Type 2 diabetes cases “alarming,” referring to the chronic condition as “a defining disease of this century.”
By 2050, one of every seven or eight people is expected to have diabetes — more than double the current rate.“Type 2 diabetes, which makes up the bulk of diabetes cases, is largely preventable and, in some cases, potentially reversible,” wrote the authors of the study,“However, all evidence indicates that diabetes prevalence is increasing worldwide, primarily due to a rise in obesity caused by multiple factors,” they added.
