India now leads the world with 212 million cases of diabetes, accounting for over a quarter of the global total.

The global diabetes prevalence rate has doubled since 1990 , rising from 7% to 14% , with over 828 million adults now diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Alarmingly, more than half of adults aged over 30 with diabetes are not receiving treatment.

Researchers utilized data from over 140 million people aged 18 years or older from more than 1,000 studies in populations of different countries.

They included both fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) levels and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) tests, common diagnostic criteria for diabetes.

The findings point to a significant rise in the global diabetes rate, which has doubled since 1990 .
