According to WHO, in 2014, cases of diabetes rose from 180 million in 1980 to about 422 million. Since then, those numbers seem to be steadily increasing. Most diagnosis seem to occur in lower- and middle-income countries. It is also within this report that WHO mentions that half of diabetes cases in the world were recorded within the WHO South-East Asian and Western Pacific Regions. Now, the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region has experienced the greatest rise in diabetes prevalence, and is now the WHO region with the highest prevalence. As mentioned above, about 37.3 million people within the US have diabetes. Meanwhile, around 96.7 million people in the US have prediabetes. Of that number, the CDC also reports that cases of diagnosed diabetes (date from 218-1019) was highest among American Indians and Alaska Natives (14.5%), followed by non-Hispanic Blacks (12.1%), people of Hispanic origin (11.8%), non-Hispanic Asians (9.5%) and non-Hispanic Whites (7.4%). Of those statistics, people of Hispanic origin get further broken down. Data shows that Mexicans (14.4%) and Puerto Ricans (12.4%) had the highest prevalence's, followed by Central/South Americans (8.3%) and Cubans (6.5%). Education also plays a role since data from 2018-2019 states that 13.4% of adults with less than a high school education had diagnosed with diabetes. Meanwhile, 9.2% of people with a high school education and 7.1% with more than a high school education were diagnosed with diabetes. Income also plays a role since adults with family income below the federal poverty level had the highest prevalence for men (13.7%) and women (14.4%).
