Type 2 diabetes affects up to 14% of the global population.
“Type 2 diabetes affects up to 14% of the global population and is associated with preventable long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, vision loss and increased mortality.”
From Diagnosis and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Adults (2025) · cites this paper as [2]
The Abstract reports an age-adjusted diabetes prevalence of 14.3% among U.S. adults, which is close to the cited figure. It does not estimate prevalence in the global population or report a separate figure for type 2 diabetes, so it cannot support those qualifiers. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe number of people with diabetes worldwide was estimated to be between 589 million and 828 million during 2022 to 2024.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
