As of 2017, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reported over 199 million women living with diabetes around the world, with the total projected to increase to 313 million by 2040. It is the ninth leading cause of death in women globally, causing 2.1 million deaths each year.

During pregnancy, over 20 million live births are affected by diabetes – that’s 1 in 6 pregnancies. And 60% of women with diabetes are twice as likely to develop health conditions that may impact their Reproductive and Mental Health such as Hormonal Imbalance, Infertility, Anxiety, and Depression.
