There are insufficient data on the coverage of treatment for diabetes and how it has changed. We estimated trends from 1990 to 2022 in diabetes prevalence and treatment for 200 countries and territories.<h3>Methods</h3>We used data from 1108 population-representative studies with 141 million participants aged 18 years and older with measurements of fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin (HbA<sub>1c</sub>), and information on diabetes treatment. We defined diabetes as having a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 7·0 mmol/L or higher, having an HbA<sub>1c</sub> of 6·5% or higher, or taking medication for diabetes. We defined diabetes treatment as the proportion of people with diabetes who were taking medication for diabetes. We analysed the data in a Bayesian hierarchical meta-regression model to estimate diabetes prevalence and treatment.<h3>Findings</h3>In 2022, an estimated 828 million (95% credible interval [CrI] 757–908) adults (those aged 18 years and older) had diabetes, an increase of 630 million (554–713) from 1990. From 1990 to 2022, the age-standardised prevalence of diabetes increased in 131 countries for women and in 155 countries for men with a posterior probability of more than 0·80. The largest increases were in low-income and middle-income countries in southeast Asia (eg, Malaysia), south Asia (eg, Pakistan), the Middle East and north Africa (eg, Egypt), and Latin America and the Caribbean (eg, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Costa Rica). Age-standardised prevalence neither increased nor decreased with a posterior probability of more than 0·80 in some countries in western and central Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, east Asia and the Pacific, Canada, and some Pacific island nations where prevalence was already high in 1990; it decreased with a posterior probability of more than 0·80 in women in Japan, Spain, and France, and in men in Nauru. The lowest prevalence in the world in 2022 was in western Europe and east Africa for both sexes, and in Japan and Canada for women, and the highest prevalence in the world in 2022 was in countries in Polynesia and Micronesia, some countries in the Caribbean and the Middle East and north Africa, as well as Pakistan and Malaysia. In 2022, 445 million (95% CrI 401–496) adults aged 30 years or older with diabetes did not receive treatment (59% of adults aged 30 years or older with diabetes), 3·5 times the number in 1990. From 1990 to 2022, diabetes treatment coverage increased in 118 countries for women and 98 countries for men with a posterior probability of more than 0·80. The largest improvement in treatment coverage was in some countries from central and western Europe and Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Costa Rica), Canada, South Korea, Russia, Seychelles, and Jordan.

The traditional Chinese medicine FYTF-919 (Zhongfeng Xingnao) in an oral solution is comprised of several Chinese herbs that are widely used to treat patients with intracerebral haemorrhage in China on the understanding that they enhance resorption of the haematoma and reduce neuroinflammation. We aimed to provide a reliable assessment of the safety and efficacy of FYTF-919 in patients with moderate to severe acute intracerebral haemorrhage.<h3>Methods</h3>We did a pragmatic, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at 26 hospitals in China. We enrolled adults (age ≥18 years) with a diagnosis of symptomatic spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (confirmed by brain imaging) within 48 h after the onset of symptoms (or last seen well), which resulted in moderate to severe neurological impairment defined by scores of at least 8 on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale or between 7 and 14 inclusive on the Glasgow Coma Scale. Randomisation (1:1) was via a central internet-based system with a block grouping method stratified by provincial location of the hospital, severity of neurological impairment, and site of the haematoma in the brain. FYTF-919 and the placebo were masked through consistency in appearance, smell, taste, and other aspects. Participants were allocated to receive 33 mL (or 25 mL via a nasogastric tube if a participant's swallowing was impaired) of either oral liquid FYTF-919 or matching placebo administered at least 30 min after a meal every 8 h (or 6 h via nasogastric tube) over 24 h for 28 days. The primary efficacy outcome was the utility weighted modified Rankin Scale (a seven-level ordinal scale that ranges from 0 [no symptoms] to 6 [death], in which the utility weights of 0·97, 0·88, 0·74, 0·55, 0·20, –0·19, and 0·00 were assigned to the seven levels respectively, with higher scores indicating a better outcome according to the participants' perspective) at 90 days analysed in a general linear model with adjustment for baseline factors. We did several adjusted and sensitivity analyses. Primary analyses were assessed in the intention-to-treat population.
