New global study highlights vast under-treatment of diabetes Nearly half a billion people on the planet have diabetes, but most of them aren t getting the kind of care that could make their lives healthier, longer and more productive, according to a new global study of data from people with the condition. Many don t even know they have the condition. Only 1 in 10 people with diabetes in the 55 low- and middle-income countries studied receive the type of comprehensive care that s been proven to reduce diabetes-related problems, according to the new findings published in Lancet Healthy Longevity. That comprehensive package of care - low-cost medicines to reduce blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels; and counseling on diet, exercise and weight - can help lower the health risks of under-treated diabetes. Those risks include future heart attacks, strokes, nerve damage, blindness, amputations and other disabling or fatal conditions.
