Diabetes

Diabetes Seventeen million Americans have diabetes. The direct results of that figure make diabetes the most costly health problems in America.

Many people first become aware that they have diabetes when faced with complications from the disease. Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, blindness, and complications in pregnancy. People with diabetes are more susceptible to many other illnesses and, once they acquire these illnesses, often have a worse prognosis than those without diabetes. For example, they are more likely to die with pneumonia or influenza than people who do not have diabetes. They are also twice as likely to have a stroke.
