The Walk in Numbers

About 

537 million adults live with diabetes worldwide – a number predicted to rise to 783 million by 2045. More than 75% of them live in low- and middle-income countries. 
 We need to spread awareness for diabetes prevention and care, a disease that
affects the health of individuals, families, and societies.  

 
Since 2004, more than 5 million people have joined the Global Diabetes Walk,
which is WDF's contribution to the International Diabetes Federation’s annual campaign
marking World Diabetes Day on November 14.

Join the global movement for raising diabetes awareness. Get walking!
