WHO Fact Sheet: Diabetes
2023
This fact sheet from the World Health Organization (WHO) focuses on the global burden of diabetes, the clinical manifestations and health outcomes, and the available interventions. Although the fact sheet differentiates the types of diabetes (e.g., type I, type II and gestational), the emphasis is on the consequences of disease (blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation), age-specific patterns of mortality, projected trends, and prevention, and the diagnosis and treatment options.
