Hyperglycemia is a trait that is shared by a number of conditions, including diabetes mellitus. The care of diabetes in different parts of the globe is fraught with varied difficulties, such as the disease's steadily growing prevalence. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is discovered to grow many fold, which is shown to be accountable for early morbidity and death in the population. This increase is found to occur at the same rapid pace as socioeconomic changes occur in both rural and urban regions. The disparity in the frequency of type 2 diabetes between urban and rural areas is driving urbanisation, and the change in lifestyle brought on by the acceptance of Western culture is becoming more prevalent. The incidence of type 2 diabetes in both urban and rural settings has been thoroughly reviewed in this research. To prevent type-2 diabetes and improve its treatment, the government must sponsor screenings and awareness programmes for the general public.
