It is estimated that there presently are about 370 million diabetics in the world, and the number is increasing, particularly in newly industrialized countries, such as China and India. Approximately 90% of diabetics have Type 2 diabetes, often caused by lifestyle, such as obesity and lack of exercise. 3-5% of diabetics have Type 1 diabetes, and the cause of the disease is unknown. The remaining 5-7% have either pregnancy diabetes (temporary illness), MODY ("Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young") or rarer forms of diabetes.
