Core Tip	The Middle Eastern and North African region has the second highest rate of increases in diabetes anywhere in the world. We comprehensively review type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults and children from 22 Arab speaking countries by reviewing data published from 1980 to 2015; this allowed us to have a better view of the trends in the dramatic increases of T2DM impacting the Arabic region. We also discuss the etiology of this uncontrolled medical crisis and the most commonly reported complications in these Arab speaking countries. Finally, we highlight a number of crucial data that appear to be unavailable but which may be essential for a more comprehensive understanding of the diabetes epidemic sweeping the Arabian region.
