Half a billion people have diabetes. But most don’t know about it – The New Daily
Half a billion people have diabetes. Most of them aren’t getting proper treatment. And more than half may not know they have the disease.
Nearly half a billion people have diabetes, but most of them aren’t receiving proper treatment and more than half have not yet been formally diagnosed with the disease, according to a new global investigation.
