Global rise in diabetes and metabolic diseases

Overview

Medical professionals across multiple regions are raising alarms regarding the rising prevalence of diabetes and metabolic disorders.

In Kenya, experts noted that more than half of the population living with diabetes remains undiagnosed, with the metabolic disease burden projected to double by 2050. In India, specialists expressed concern over increasing endocrine disorders among children and adolescents, attributing the trend to sedentary lifestyles and changing dietary habits.

Further reports from the Dominican Republic and Chile highlight the critical role of insulin resistance in the development of type 2 diabetes. Experts emphasize that modern lifestyle factors—including ultra-processed diets, high stress, and sleep deficiency—drive these conditions. Medical professionals stress the importance of managing obesity and cholesterol, as well as utilizing early preventive screenings to detect asymptomatic warning signs.
