The prevalence of diagnosed type 2 diabetes in Germany is projected to rise from 8.6% in 2022 to 16.1% by 2050, signifying a notable public health concern.

Forecasts are primarily influenced by trends in incidence, highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention strategies for type 2 diabetes.
