Indonesia has one of the highest diabetes prevalence in the world

Hello reader,

Alarming news regarding national health, as Indonesia has been named among the world’s diabetes hotspots. Combine high sugar intake (particularly from sweet drinks) with sedentary lifestyles and smoking, and all of a sudden we’ve got tens of millions Indonesians diagnosed with the condition.

That’s not even including the ones who have not been formally diagnosed.

More on that below. Stay healthy, everyone.

Cheers,

Andra
