dc.description.abstractIt is estimated that at least 347 million people worldwide have diabetes. In 2004, an estimated 3.4 million people died from consequences of fasting high blood sugar. A similar number of deaths have been estimated for 2010. The published data for Malta through the International Diabetes Federation’s Diabetes Atlas estimate that the diabetes prevalence in Malta is 9.8% of the adult population, representing 29,900 people. The atlas forecasts a rise in prevalence to 11.6% of the adult population, representing 36,600 people by 2025.en_GB
