The table below shows the 10 countries with the highest diabetes rates in the current dataset.
The table below shows the 10 countries with the lowest diabetes rates in the current dataset.
Diabetes prevalence is an important population health indicator used to compare the burden of diabetes across countries and territories. The 2026 diabetes rates by country ranking shows the percentage represented as living with diabetes in the supplied dataset and allows countries with very different population sizes to be compared using the same percentage-based measure. The ranking reveals substantial international variation, with Pakistan, several Middle Eastern countries and a number of Pacific island countries and territories appearing near the top. Diabetes prevalence can vary between populations because of differences in demographic, lifestyle, metabolic, socioeconomic and health-related factors. The source identified in the supplied dataset is the IDF Diabetes Atlas.
Diabetes rate by country shows the percentage represented as living with diabetes in each country or territory in the dataset.
Countries and territories are ranked from highest to lowest according to their diabetes rate.
All diabetes rate values in the dataset are shown as percentages (%).
The source listed in the dataset is the IDF Diabetes Atlas.
Percentages standardize the measure relative to the represented population and make it easier to compare diabetes prevalence between countries and territories of different population sizes.
A higher percentage indicates a higher prevalence represented in the dataset, while a lower percentage indicates a lower prevalence. The ranking is intended for population-level comparison rather than estimating an individual's personal risk.
Pakistan has the highest diabetes rate in the dataset at 31.4%.
Zimbabwe has the lowest diabetes rate in the dataset at 1.5%.
Pakistan has a diabetes rate of 31.4% and ranks first in the dataset.
The United States has a diabetes rate of 13.7% and ranks 41st in the dataset.
China has a diabetes rate of 11.9%.
India has a diabetes rate of 10.5%.
The United Kingdom has a diabetes rate of 7.4%.
Japan has a diabetes rate of 7.6%.
Saudi Arabia has a diabetes rate of 23.1% and ranks seventh in the dataset.
Pakistan, the Marshall Islands, Kuwait and Samoa have diabetes rates above 25% in the dataset.
A diabetes rate of 31.4% means that 31.4% of the population group represented by the dataset is estimated to be living with diabetes.
