This Cartogram shows the prevalency of Diabetes in the world. I particularly chose this cartogram because I am a diabetic. I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 8. This cartogram is based upon population. The highest concentration of diabetes is in North America and a large reason for this is because we are a society not focused on healthy eating habits. Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity and it is understandable that the United States would be one of the leading countries having diabetes, because we are one of the leading countries of obesity.
