\n\tGlobal aging and rising body weight will more than double the number of people with diabetes by 2050, researchers predicted, putting millions more people at risk of a variety of dangerous disorders.\u00a0

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n\tMore than 1.3 billion people worldwide will have diabetes at the half-century mark, up from 529 million in 2021, according to estimates released Thursday by the Lancet medical journal. The vast majority of patients will have type 2 diabetes, the form of the disease that\u2019s often linked to being overweight.<\/p>\n


\n\tA loss of the body\u2019s ability to control blood sugar levels, diabetes affects one in 10 adults globally and caused 6.7 million deaths in 2021, the International Diabetes Federation estimates. The disease has unequal impacts, with fewer than 10% of people affected in low and middle-income countries receiving proper care, the Lancet researchers note.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIf we don\u2019t do anything,\u201d said Kanyin Liane Ong, a researcher at the University of Washington\u2019s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the lead author of the study, \u201cit will cause a huge burden.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tType 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, accounting for about 96% of cases. It occurs when the body\u2019s cells stop responding properly to insulin, which can lead to chronic high blood-sugar levels that leave patients vulnerable to heart, kidney, eye and nerve damage. Although preventable in many cases, usually with weight loss, and treatable with a variety of effective drugs, rates of the disease remain stubbornly high.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n\tEffective weight-loss programs have proven hard to implement at large scale, and many health-care systems are not prepared to intervene in diabetes early, the researchers note. And while drugs such as those in the GLP-1 class made by Novo Nordisk A\/S and Eli Lilly & Co. have shown promising weight-loss results, costs put them out of reach for many patients globally, the authors said, and they haven\u2019t been used widely enough yet to determine whether they can turn the tide.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n\tAddressing racism and economic inequality will be important for controlling diabetes, a group of researchers from the US, Africa, India and Australia, wrote in a separate article in the same journal. People in low- and middle-income countries are more likely to suffer from the disease and its impacts, as are minority groups.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n\tThere isn\u2019t one perfect solution, Ong said.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cDiabetes will always exist, and I think it is about managing and monitoring and identifying it early on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
