“…The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly rising. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that 425 million adults (aged 20–79 years) had diabetes mellitus globally in 2017, and further estimated that a US $727 billion (12% of global health expenditure) was spent on treating diabetes mellitus and its related complications [2]. About 1 in 11 adults have diabetes mellitus, with 90% of these adults having type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); Asia is the center of this global T2D epidemic [3].…”

“… 1 Recent epidemiological data showed that diabetes affects people worldwide, reaching a prevalence of 412 million in 2015, and adding a plethora of people having risk factors that include impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), gestational diabetes and euglycemic IR this figure is expected to increase. 2 From this view, it has been estimated that a substantial number of people, 50% of people in the general population 20–79 years of age globally, are unaware of their disease ( http://www.diabetesatlas.org ; International Diabetes Federation, IDF Diabetes Atlas Eighth Edition), exposing them to the risk of increased morbidity and mortality attributable to the onset of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Dysglycemia—also called glucose abnormalities (GAs)—which includes isolated IFG and/or isolated IGT, represents a risk factor for developing diabetes and its related cardiovascular complications, which appear silently and several years before the clinical manifestation of the disease.…”

“…According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) [1] statistics, there were 415 million people suffering from diabetes around the world in 2015. By 2040 this number is expected to rise to over 642 million, as a consequence, diabetes has become the main cause of national disease and death in most countries.…”
