About Diabetes

Known as the "silent killer," diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease in the U.S. In addition to its effects on the nation's health, diabetes also takes a toll on the economy. The direct and indirect economic costs for diagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes in 2007 were an estimated $218 billion, according to a recent Lewin Group study commissioned by NCDP. In 2005, the federal government spent nearly $80 billion on diabetes treatment, with only $4 billion of this amount invested in prevention and health promotion.

Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes and another 57 million have pre-diabetes. Research shows that a child born after the year 2000 has a one in three chance of developing diabetes, and minority children have a one in two chance of developing diabetes.
