According to CDC, 37.3 million people have diabetes, that's 11.3% of the US population.
In Italy, where I live, according to ISTAT 2015 data, 5.4% of Italians suffer from diabetes mellitus (both among males and females), for a total of over 3 million people.

The areas in which the prevalence of diabetes is higher are the southern regions, in particular Calabria.

According to WHO, the number of people with diabetes in the world, rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014.

These simple numbers say Diabetes is an increasing health problem- Diabetes, or rather diabetes mellitus, depends on insulin. To be precise there may be: - a reduced availability of insulin, therefore insufficient production for the body to function properly; - poor sensitivity to the hormone by the target tissues, i.e. insulin is present, but the body is unable to make good use of it; -the combination of these factors, i.e. insulin is low and does not work adequately. The measurable consequence is hyperglycemia due to the aforementioned changes in insulin.

Today they are distinguished: TYPE 1 DIABETES TYPE II DIABETES GESTATIONAL DIABETES

Diabetes in the world population has increased in the last 30-40 years to such an extent that there was talk of 108 million in 1980 against 422 million in 2014. It is a metabolic disease due a decrease in the activity of insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.

The consequence is hyperglycemia, i.e. the excessive concentration of glucose in the blood. Over time, it tends to be followed by complications of a vascular nature, such as: -macroangiopathy (a particularly severe and early form of atherosclerosis).
