Global Health Insights: The Future of Diabetes Disease Burden

06/26/23 • 15 min

More people are living with diabetes now than ever before, and we expect numbers to continue increasing, with 1.3 billion cases in 2050. We discuss the new findings with Dr. Liane Ong and Lauryn Stafford, who recently published their research in the Lancet.

An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health.
