I have just received a package from Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation today. The info on the big envelope is shocking: diabetes has become such a big problem in America.
These words appear on one side of the big envelope: "25.8 million Americans are afflicted with diabetes and 79 million Americans are at risk of developing diabetes, if they do not change their lifestyle."
The other side carries these words:
"Type 1 diabetes occurs most frequently in children and young adults, although it can occur at any age. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5-10% of all diabetes in the United States. There does appear to be a genetic component to Type 1 diabetes, but the cause has yet to be identified.
Type 2 diabetes is much more common and accounts for 90-95% of all diabetes. Type 2 diabetes primarily affects adults; however recently Type 2 has begun developing in children. There is a strong correlation between type 2 diabetes, physical inactivity and obesity."
