Description
Kaustubh Wagh and Gerardo Chowell compare pre-pandemic forecasts of diabetes deaths with newer global burden data, in a 2026 perspective. Earlier projections expected large rises by 2030 yet could not include pandemic disruption to health systems and chronic care. Fresh estimates covering the period through 2023 now allow a direct check.
Global diabetes deaths had already passed the upper forecast bound for 2030 several years early. Type 2 diabetes drove almost all of that total, and the authors stress that the two main diabetes types carry distinct causes and pandemic vulnerabilities. They urge stronger prevention and management as systems recover from disrupted care.
