Scary Diabetes Statistics Keep Getting Worse

Continued from Yesterday

The ADA further states that "individuals with diabetes have medical expenditures at about 2.3 times higher than those without diabetes. The average cost incurred among individuals with diabetes is $11,744 per year with $5,649 attributed directly to diabetes."

This has gone from being a serious problem to one that will soon affect every person in this country! Why you ask? Here's why:

•Insurance companies will be paying more for medical costs which will raise EVERYONE'S insurance premiums.

•There will be lower productivity in the workplace which will hurt these same employers who will be paying the higher premiums.

•There will be reduced earnings for individuals and families.

•There will be higher taxes for us all as a portion of the burden of increased health care costs will affect the government and guess who has to pay for that?

•All of this combined means a lower quality and standard of living.

These statistics do not lie. They're getting worse every day. Something has to be done NOW to help everyone who has diabetes but even more let's do all we can, as individuals, to PREVENT diabetes (Type II) from occurring in ourselves, our families, and our friends.
