Diabetes Epidemic on 'Relentlessly Upward Trajectory'

The number of people diagnosed with and dying from diabetes continues "on a relentlessly upward trajectory," with no signs of abating, according to officials from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 47th Annual Meeting.

Data from international studies demonstrate that the number of people with diabetes in 2011 has reached 366 million. This year, 4.6 million deaths will be attributed to diabetes, with 1 person dying from diabetes every 7 seconds. Healthcare spending on diabetes has reached $465 billion.
