Prevention Can Delay T2D
A healthy diet, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, while regular screening and treatment can limit its complications. The American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Standards of Care recommend that people at risk lose 5–7% of their body weight and engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week. In Saudi Arabia, an estimated 5.34 million people aged 20–79 had diabetes in 2024, representing a prevalence of 21.4%; 43.6% of them were undiagnosed. The number is expected to reach 9.47 million by 2050. Globally, 589 million people in the same age group had diabetes in 2024, including 85 million in the Middle East and North Africa, where the number is projected to rise to 163 million by 2050.
