In 2021, roughly six per cent of the world’s population, or 529 million people, were living with diabetes, mostly Type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the same year, 1.6 million deaths were attributed to this disease.
T2D is a complex disease that develops over time when the body cannot produce enough insulin and/or cannot use insulin efficiently. These anomalies impair the body’s ability to properly use and store sugars, fats and proteins.
