Diabetes is rapidly becoming one of the most expensive and lasting chronic health conditions in America, with 23.6 million Amercian children and adult diabetics, nearly 8% of the population.

Should diabetes remain untreated it can be fatal.

A diabetic has on average 2.3 times the medical expenditure than those unaffected by diabetes.

There are many people who do not even know that they have this potentially fatal disease.

A shocking and worrying estimate is that there are around 57 million Americans aged 20 and above with pre-diabetes, a condition whereby the heightened blood sugar is not within the diabetic range.
