The world is in the grip of a diabetes pandemic.
Diabetes is a serious health condition of elevated blood sugars where the body doesn't produce enough insulin to meet its needs, or the body does not respond properly to the insulin being made. Insulin is critical as it moves glucose into the body's cells from the blood. It is a disease that can have devastating complications and consequences
In human and financial terms, the burden is immense and it's now hitting the poor especially hard. Traditionally thought of as a disease of the rich, experts say the alarming rise may be fuelled as much by food scarcity and insecurity as it is by excess. New lifestyles, rapid urbanisation and cheap calories in the form of processed foods are putting more and more people at risk of developing Type-2 diabetes.
