The FINANCIAL -- The number of children with diabetes increased by over 14% in the last 10 years according to statistics of the Diabetic Children’s Protection Association of Georgia.


The increase is about 14%, which is twice as much as the rate of diabetes type II. By 2010 the number of diabetic children increased by 30. The Association has recorded 49 cases of diabetes in children during the 5 months of 2011.
