A Focus on Diabetes
Many people are impacted by diabetes one way or another – either they have a family history, or they know somebody with diabetes, or they may be diabetic or pre-diabetic themselves. After all, diabetes currently affects over 537 million adults (about 10.5% of the global adult population) and is projected to reach 783 million by 2045. This rise is fuelled by factors such as ageing populations, increased obesity rates, increased consumption of processed foods, and lifestyle changes that reduce physical activity. In the UK, around 1 in 5 adults is estimated to be at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
