Nearly
26 million people have diabetes in the United States, and pre-diabetes is far
more common than previously believed. About 35 percent of U.S. adults, 20 years
and older, or 79 million people, currently have pre-diabetes. Racial and ethnic
minority groups are disproportionately affected by diabetes, especially the
elderly among these populations. Each year in November, the American Diabetes
Association joins with health care organizations, practitioners and advocates
in raising awareness about the disease.
