Over this decade, the global death rate due to type 2 diabetes decreased by 0.58% annually. The greatest decreases in death rates from type 2 diabetes were observed in Singapore (−13.5%) and Iraq (−6.2%). In contrast, death rates increased the most in Georgia (9.1%) and the Czech Republic (6.8%).
In terms of numbers of deaths, the top 5 countries in 2017 were India, China, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States. Global prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 13.2% higher among males than among females, and the regions where male prevalence rates exceeded those of females by the largest margins were high-income Asia Pacific (34.3%) and Central Europe (34.0%). In 2007, type 2 diabetes was the 14th leading cause of death globally, and by 2017, it rose to the 10th leading cause, with the death rate increasing from 12.4 to 13.2 per 100 000.
