Key facts about diabetes 


  • First Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) pandemic
  • 537 million adults living with diabetes around the world (predicted to reach 783 million by 2045)*
  • 1 death every 5 seconds around the world (6.7 million deaths in 2021)*
  • Intensive treatment: 50 years of diabetes = more than 100,000 injections

Message from the founding president and the lab director


"Data confirmed that despite everyone’s effort, the epidemic is getting worse. This growth can be observed by the increase of persons affected, in particular with an important growth of children with type 1 diabetes and people with type 2 diabetes. These numbers are alarming since no population seems to be spared…
