Armenia's population is around 3.0 million people, classified as a lower-middle-income country. Mortality data shows high diabetes-related deaths, particularly among older adults, with significant uncertainty. For instance, ages 30-69, diabetes causes around 520 deaths annually (300 males, 220 females), and high blood glucose contributes to over 2,150 deaths (800 males, 400 females) in the same age group. In older ages (70+), diabetes mortality reaches 2,610 deaths (270 males, 460 females), with high blood glucose accounting for 2,280 deaths (1,350 males, 1,930 females). Diabetes accounts for 25% of non-communicable disease deaths, highlighting its significance.

Key trends in diabetes prevalence are age-standardized, but data limitations exist. Risk factors are common, with diabetes affecting 12.3% of the population, 56.2% overweight, and 19.9% obese. Other factors like physical inactivity are not fully reported.

The national response includes an operational diabetes policy and evidence-based guidelines, but no specific plans for reducing overweight/obesity or physical inactivity. Diabetes registry and monitoring are established, yet recent risk factor surveys are absent. Medicines like insulin and metformin are available in primary care, along with basic technologies for diabetes management, but advanced services like dialysis and transplantation are limited.
