Biocon Biologics and Civica expand their partnership to include Insulin Glargine, aiming to increase the availability of affordable insulin for the 38.4 million U.S. patients with diabetes. Biocon Biologics will manufacture and supply the insulin, while Civica will commercialize it under a private label, including the CalRx brand in California. This agreement builds on their previous collaboration where Biocon Biologics provides Insulin Aspart drug substance to Civica. The goal is to provide a transparent, low-price insulin option to underserved populations in the U.S.
As of 2021, there were 529 million people living with diabetes worldwide, with a global age-standardized total diabetes prevalence of 6.1%. The diabetes landscape is dominated by Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 96.0% of all diabetes cases and 95.4% of diabetes disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally.
The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase worldwide, making diabetes-related macrovascular morbidity and mortality major health care problems.
The highest age-standardized rates in 2021 were observed in: - North Africa and the Middle East: 9.3% - Oceania region: 12.3%
Qatar had the world's highest age-specific prevalence of diabetes at 76.1% in individuals aged 75-79 years.
Significant ethnic variations in diabetes prevalence were observed in Australia (2021 data): - Overall Australian prevalence: 6.3% - East Asian ancestry: ranged from 4.2% (Japanese) to 12.6% (Filipino) - South/Central Asian ancestry: ranged from 7.3% (Armenian) to 18.4% (Bangladeshi) - Middle Eastern/North African ancestry: ranged from 5.4% (Jewish) to 12.3% (Iraqi) - Oceania: Australian Aboriginal (17.5%), Fijian (12.3%), Maori (10.0%), Samoan (16.3%), and Tongan (17.4%)
In Asian countries, there is considerable geographical variation in diabetes prevalence, with three factors independently associated with prevalence: hypertension prevalence, obesity prevalence, and quality of healthcare governance.
In 2021, 52.2% of global type 2 diabetes DALYs were attributable to high BMI, with the contribution of high BMI to type 2 diabetes DALYs rising by 24.3% worldwide between 1990 and 2021.
By 2050, more than 1.31 billion people are projected to have diabetes globally. Projected age-standardized total diabetes prevalence rates by 2050 will exceed 10% in: - North Africa and the Middle East: 16.8% - Latin America and Caribbean: 11.3%
By 2050, 89 (43.6%) of 204 countries and territories will have an age-standardized rate greater than 10%.
Diabetes Mellitus is among the top ten leading causes of mortality globally and is projected to rank seventh by 2030.
