According to the International Diabetes Federation's Diabetes Atlas, 8.4% of Sri Lankans currently live with diabetes. By 2025, 10.7% of the population will have the disease.

A recent study conducted by the NDC has found that one in five adults in Sri Lanka has either diabetes or pre-diabetes and one-third of those with diabetes are undiagnosed. Dr. Mahen Wijesuriya, the president of NDC said the number of child diabetic cases is also on the rise. NDC revealed these facts at a press conference held to announce the events to mark the World Diabetes Day which falls on November 14. The National Diabetes Centre of Sri Lanka is the only organization in Sri Lanka dedicated to the prevention and care of diabetes.
