It is estimated that in 2010 there were globally 285 million people (approximately 6.4% of the adult population) suffering from this disease. This number is estimated to increase to 430 million by 2030. Information regarding the diabetes incidence of different age group and gender in the inhabitants of Chitwan is very high.
