Over the past 10 years, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has increased disproportionately in Africa, South East Asia, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. Interestingly, although we need more studies investigating the prevalence of T2DM in Latin America, the prevalence of T2DM in youth living in these countries does not seem to have increased markedly.
