The diabetes epidemic consists primarily of type 2 diabetes and has occurred due to increased urbanization and rapid cultural change which leads to decreased physical activity and changes in diet.
Type 2 diabetes is responsible for 90-95% of diabetes cases, but 80% of type 2 diabetes cases are preventable by making changes to diet and increasing physical exercise.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), of the 210 million pregnancies that occur each year, around 46 million worldwide end in induced abortions.
