Cyprus diabetes campaign highlights gaps in diagnosis

Free health checks are being offered in Cyprus ahead of World Diabetes Day, Cyprus Mail reports. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 106,100 adults aged 20 to 79 in Cyprus lived with diabetes in 2024, and that 36.6% of them had not been diagnosed.

What the sources establish

Cyprus Mail reports the campaign. The University of Nicosia separately lists a public screening event. The International Diabetes Federation’s 2025 atlas is the original source of the 2024 estimates; these figures are estimates, not a count of new diagnoses. The time is the UTC minute of the Cyprus Mail report, and the marker represents Cyprus as a whole.
