Recent numbers by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
paint a desperate situation of where we are at, and where we are headed.
-Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes.
-Diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.

diabetes in 2030 unless we take steps to Stop Diabetes.

It is sad that there are so many that are suffering and dying from diabetes where the fact that the steps to prevent this are simple. People should take this disease seriously and take the necessary steps to avoid complications.
