Experts: 366 million people now have diabetes - Yahoo! Finance: "An estimated 366 million people worldwide now suffer from diabetes and the global epidemic is getting worse, health officials said Tuesday.
The International Diabetes Federation described the number of cases as "staggering," with one person dying from diabetes every seven seconds.
The federation called for concrete measures to stop the epidemic, urging officials focusing on chronic diseases at a United Nations meeting next week to commit to specific targets to prevent cases and to invest in more research. Experts also said diabetes care should be integrated into local health clinics."
