Many people think of diabetes as a mild hassle – no big deal. But we know nothing could be further from the truth – diabetes is one of America's leading causes of death.
Friend, it can be hard to imagine the scope, but over 30 million Americans are living with diabetes today and 84 million more have prediabetes – and most of those at risk for diabetes do not even know it.
Diabetes also causes devastating and potentially deadly complications including heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
The situation is grave but, things are far from hopeless. Biomedical research has provided better treatments and reduced complications - diabetes-related heart attacks have dropped nearly 58% over the past two decades. And kidney disease and limb amputations have dropped too. Outreach and education to make more people aware of their risks and how to manage diabetes helps save lives.
