These are the worldwide numbers for diabetes. Obviously, there are way more people in India and China than there are in the U.S., but I wonder if these people are type I or type II. Do they eat poorly? Do they exercise? It would be very interesting to see how much their diet and exercise them affects them. It is sad to see how high we are on the list as well. Too many people are diagnosed with this because of their own choices.
