The progression of diabetes in the world continues to accelerate. The Lancet, the famous medical journal, published a series of studies on diabetes on Friday. In 2021, there were 529 million diabetics, there should be more than a billion in 2050.

The disease is exploding everywhere but in France, it is the Overseas Territories which are particularly concerned: 14% in Reunion, 11% in Guadeloupe, Polynesia and Caledonia hold the records, Oceania is moreover the first region in the world affected by diabetes.

The burden of this pathology will increase there, aggravated by inequalities, predict medical studies.
