Diabetes has become an immense challenge to the global public health systems with its burden approaching unbearable proportions. With an upward surge of diabetes rates, it is observed that diabetes has the highest disease burden compared to all the other non-communicable diseases (Kimuyu, 2016). Epidemiological studies reveal that hypertension and diabetes has contributed to the increase of cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading cause of death and morbidity (Tabish, 2007). One of the epidemiological concerns related to the upward trends of diabetes is the increase in incidence rates of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among children. Ordinarily, T2D has always been known as the ‘disease of retirement,’ implying that it occurs among adults but its trends have changed (Kimuyu, 2017). Therefore, this paper will give a comprehensive analysis of the development of T2D and suggest prudent steps to address the psychosocial proliferation of the disease.

- Development of T2D in the U.S. Compared to Its Development in Developing Countries: This chapter explores the historical and current trends of T2D in the United States and developing countries. It examines the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and westernization on the emergence and prevalence of T2D in different regions.
- Comparison of T2D rates in the United States and New Jersey: This chapter compares the prevalence and incidence rates of T2D at the national level and in the state of New Jersey. It analyzes the demographic distribution of T2D within the New Jersey population and compares it to national statistics.
- Cost of Treating T2D in the Community: This chapter examines the social and economic consequences of T2D, highlighting the significant burden it imposes on communities through direct and indirect medical costs, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life.
- Prudent Steps to Address the Psychosocial Proliferation of T2D: This chapter explores the connection between psychosocial aspects and the development of T2D. It discusses the prevalence of depression among people with diabetes and outlines prudent steps to address the psychosocial proliferation of the disease, including substance abuse control, psychopharmacological therapies, psychological therapies, social support programs, and work-life balance.
