In a plea for accuracy, can we be specific about which type of Diabetes we are talking about? They are _very_ different, both in how they are caused and how they are managed.
The number refers to both, but type 2 is the overwhelming majority of them (and 100% of the prediabetes, which is the by far most of that 100M).
Type 2 is the one that can be prevented (in most cases) by diet and exercise. This article is warning that we're failing at that, by very large amounts.
Type 1 is still a large problem, but a small fraction of this problem, about 1%. You could exclude them from this number without substantially altering it.
