Diabetes
The number of adults with diabetes has risen spectacularly – between 6-8% of adults are known to have diabetes, with the true incidence probably closer to 10%, when undiagnosed diabetes is also taken into consideration (Harris et al '98, Mokdad et al '00).

By 2050 as many as 1 person in 5 is projected to have the disease.

Even more worryingly, the disease has begun to affect growing numbers of children. In the US, experts predict that on current trends, one out of every three children born in 2000 will develop Type 2 diabetes.

The global increase in Type 2 diabetes parallels the increasing tides of overweight, obesity and physical inactivity that are known to drive the disease.
