The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that between the ages of 20 and 79, there are 32,200 persons living with diabetes in Belize, equating to 14.9% of the age-adjusted population. Based on current projections, this figure will rise to 15.7% by 2030 and to 16.4% by 2045. Of those 32,200, almost 13,500 persons are unaware they are living with the condition — nearly 42%, or a little under 1 in every 2 people.
