Diabetes continues to be a significant global health concern, with the Western Pacific region reporting the highest number of diabetes-related deaths in 2024, with around 1.2 million. This stark figure underscores the urgent need for improved diabetes prevention and management strategies worldwide. North America and the Caribbean followed with an estimated 526,000 deaths, while Africa is had the lowest number at 216,000. Regional disparities and global impact The prevalence of diabetes varies significantly across regions, reflecting differences in healthcare systems, lifestyle factors, and genetic predispositions. In the United States, the death rate from diabetes mellitus was 22.4 per 100,000 people in 2023, with 8.4 percent of the adult population living with the condition. Canada has seen a slight decrease in its diabetes-related death rate, falling from 21.8 per 100,000 in 2000 to 18.1 per 100,000 in 2023. These figures highlight the ongoing challenges in managing diabetes, even in countries with advanced healthcare systems. European landscape and global context Within Europe, Germany reported the highest number of diabetes-related deaths in 2024, with nearly 63,000 fatalities among adults aged 20 to 79 years. Italy followed closely with around 62,400 deaths. However, Czechia reported the highest mortality rates in Europe as of 2022, with 43.4 diabetes deaths per 100,000 population overall. On a global scale, diabetes remains a major health concern, with 19 percent of adults worldwide identifying it as one of the biggest health problems in their country.

In 2023, there were **** deaths from diabetes mellitus per 100,000 people in the United States. The death rate caused by this condition has fluctuated over the past decades, reaching almost ** deaths per 100,000 people in the early 2000s, and about ** deaths in 1980. Prevalence of diabetes In 2022, around *** percent of the adult population in the U.S. had diabetes. In total, around ** million adults in the United States are currently living with diabetes. Of this total, the vast majority were aged 45 years and older. The states with the highest share of adults with diabetes are West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Cure for diabetes? Researchers are helping diabetics put their Type 2 diabetes into remission, where the blood sugar levels are kept within a healthy range. For Type 1, scientists are looking for ways to prevent the immune system’s attack on beta cells, which causes diabetes. These cells, located in the pancreas, produce the insulin people need to live. As of yet, there is no cure for diabetes mellitus; however, scientists are researching ways to make diabetes harmless one day.

To reduce deaths from diabetes.

The death rate due to diabetes mellitus in Canada has fallen since 2000 from **** per 100,000 population to **** deaths per 100,000 population in 2023. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in Canada. In the United States, it was responsible for **** deaths per 100,000 population in 2023. About diabetesDiabetes mellitus is due to an insufficient production of insulin within the pancreas or a lack of response from the body to the insulin that is produced. The most common type of diabetes mellitus is type II diabetes, which accounts for over ** percent of diabetes cases in the United States. Type II diabetes occurs when cells in the body are unresponsive to insulin and may lead to a decrease in insulin production as well. Prevention and costsOne of the greatest problems with type II diabetes is that it can lead to many different complications such as some types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and even amputations. This type of diabetes is largely associated with overweight and obese populations and those who are physically inactive. It is also considered a preventable disease by maintaining healthy diets and balanced lifestyles. Health care expenditures to treat diabetes in the United States amounted to around ***** billion U.S. dollars as of 2024, while China, a country with a lower diabetes incidence but a much larger population, spent about *** billion U.S. dollars.

Death rate of a population adjusted to a standard age distribution. As most causes of death vary significantly with people's age and sex, the use of standardised death rates improves comparability over time and between countries, as they aim at measuring death rates independently of different age structures of populations. The standardised death rates used here are calculated on the basis of a standard European population (defined by the World Health Organization). Detailed data for 65 causes of death are available in the database (under the heading 'Data').
