The Sugar Spectre: We´re in a time of unprecedented cooperation and innovation in the fight against diabetes. But will it be enough?

Three hundred eighty-two million people in the world have diabetes today. Of those, roughly 343.8 million have type 2 diabetes-the variant associated with obesity and insulin resistance-3.8 million have type 1, and 175 million don´t even know they have diabetes at all. On top of that, 316 million more people are at high risk for diabetes. Combined, that makes for just shy of 10% of the global population with or at risk for the disease right now.
