In 2021, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) recorded 537 million adults (aged 20-79) or 1 in 10 people living with diabetes worldwide. Diabetes also caused 6.7 million deaths, or 1 every 5 seconds.

China had the largest number of adults with diabetes globally, with 140.87 million people living with the condition in 2021.

Following China, India recorded 74.19 million cases, Pakistan 32.96 million, and the United States 32.22 million.

Indonesia ranked fifth with 19.47 million cases. With a population of 179.72 million, this translates to a diabetes prevalence of 10.6% in Indonesia.

The IDF noted that 4 out of 5 people with diabetes (81%) live in low- and middle-income countries. This also led the IDF to estimate that 44% of adults with diabetes remain undiagnosed.
