Diabetes
Lions from around the world fight for better diabetes relief. We run initiatives and programs to improve the lives of those living with diabetes and helping others from developing type two diabetes.
Global Statistics
We’re helping educate the world on the need for diabetes research, programs and initiatives. Our goal is to reduce these statistics in the coming years through service, investment, and kindness.
~463 million 20-79-year-olds had diabetes (Cases expected by 2045: 700 million)
10% of all health expenditure on adults was due to diabetes
50% of diabetes cases were undiagnosed
374 million people were at increased risk of type 2 diabetes
4.2 million deaths were caused by diabetes
Diabetes Grant Application
Lions around the world are making diabetes relief a focus of their service. To help achieve the best possible outcomes, we’ve enhanced our grants to assist with large-scale or affiliate projects.
