The eighth edition of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas, published on Nov 14, 2017, paints a bleak picture: 425 million people around the globe have diabetes in 2017; that figure is projected to rise to 629 million by 2045, with 80% of the burden carried by low-income and middle-income countries. The Atlas also estimates that in 2017, 4 million people will have died from diabetes and 21·3 million livebirths are predicted to have been affected by maternal hyperglycaemia.
