Core Tip The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the world highest diabetes prevalence, the second highest rate of rise, the highest adjusted mortality from noncommunicable disease, and the highest diabetes-related disability adjusted life years. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the diabetes status in this dynamic region of the world, the study touches on new elements which affect diabetes such as the high number of refugees, and the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Overall, this review identifies gaps and weaknesses in type 2 diabetes in the MENA region and highlights areas where subsequent planning and action are highly needed.
