There are two types of Diabetes. The first is Type One, or Juvenile, diabetes. Type One diabetes is found in statistically similar numbers throughout the world.
Type Two diabetes, also called adult onset diabetes, is most commonly associated with obesity. This is the type of diabetes that the American Diabetes Association states has reached epidemic proportions in America.
I would conjecture that the reason Type Two diabetes is so widespread in the United States is that this country is by far the one that consumes the most junk food, leading to a more obese populace on average.
