Scary Diabetes Statistics Keep Getting Worse

In a given day:

•4000 new cases of diabetes will be diagnosed.

•600 people will die from diabetes complications.

•200 people will undergo an amputation due to diabetes.

•100 cases of kidney failure will occur due to diabetes

These statistics were grimly uttered by Ann Albright, Director of the Division of Diabetes Translation for the Center for Disease Control (CDC).Additionally, she said that "of the children born in America in 2000, one in three will develop diabetes in their lifetime."

In addition, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), there are 21 million people in the United States who are diagnosed with diabetes and if something dramatic does not occur in the next 20 years, this number will double! The costs for diabetes will exceed $174 billion dollars in 2008.

•$116 million on medical expenditures

•$58 million on reduced national productivity
