Diabetes is a worldwide pandemic.
Since 1980, the number of people with diabetes has quadrupled worldwide.
Type 2 diabetes does not develop from one day to the next.
People often go through a longer preliminary stage of diabetes, in which blood glucose levels are already elevated but people are not yet ill.
