prediabetes2  ,whereas diabetes is a    
serious chronic condition that affects  
individuals of every age1 race1         

ethnicity1 and income level2 ,whereas   
the ,,cdc reports that-- 7#a7 ,hispanic 
,americans1 ,african ,americans1 ,asian 
,americans1 and ,native ,americans are  
disproportionately affected by diabetes 
and suffer from the disease at much     
higher rates than the general population
 of the ,united ,states2 and  7#b7 #bc4h
 percent of individuals with diabetes in
 the ,united ,states have not been      
diagnosed with the disease2  ,whereas1  
according to the ,,cdc-- 7#a7 an        
individual who is #bj years of age or   
older is diagnosed with diabetes every  
#ba seconds2  7#b7 the prevalence of    
diabetes in the ,united ,states         
increased more than threefold between   
#aiij and #bjae2 and  7#c7 in #bjae1    
diabetes was the seventh leading cause  
of death in the ,united ,states and     
contributed to the deaths of more than  
#beb1hjf individuals during that year2  
,whereas approximately #d1aaj adults in 
the ,united ,states are diagnosed with  
diabetes each day2 ,whereas the ,,cdc   

estimates that approximately #a1ejj1jjj 
adults in the ,united ,states were newly
 diagnosed with diabetes in #bjae2      
,whereas a joint study carried out by   
the ,national ,institutes of ,health and
 the ,,cdc found that1 in the ,united   
,states during #bjaa and #bjab--  7#a7  
an estimated #ag1ijj individuals younger
 than #bj years of age were newly       
diagnosed with type #a diabetes2 and    
7#b7 #e1cjj individuals between the ages
 of #aj and #ai were newly diagnosed

 of age or older1 have diabetes2        
,whereas the risk of developing diabetes

,whereas1 after accounting for the      
difference of the average age of each   
population1 data surveying adults in the
 ,united ,states between #bjac and #bjae
 indicates that #g4d percent of

percent since #bjab1 and out-of-pocket  
costs for insulin have grown            
significantly in recent years for many

there are successful means to reduce the
