Diabetes - The New Epidemic

According to the CDC, nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes. This shows an increase of 13% in just two years, which means that close to 8% of the total population in the United States has diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, and includes 90% of all adult cases This particular type of diabetes is where the body does not produce enough insulin to keep blood glucose regulated. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with a dietary plan, exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin in required.

Type 2 diabetes has been most common in people 60 and older. Now it is occurring more frequently in young children some as young as 5 years old. Experts say the reason for this is due to the increase in child obesity and being overweight.
