Diabetes Prevention and Control - Epidemiology Report September 17, 2015

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 117 million adults in the United States had one or more chronic conditions in 2012. Among chronic diseases, diabetes is of particular concern as it affects an estimated 29.1 million individuals annually in the United States. Diabetes results from inadequate secretion of insulin or the inability of tissues to respond to insulin, which causes an excess of glucose in the bloodstream.
