Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. Over 20 million Americans have diabetes, however one-third are un-diagnosed. Over 750,000 Americans will be diagnosed with diabetes this year and 150,000 will die as a result of the disease. Complications from diabetes include kidney disease, stroke, blindness, nerve damage, and amputations. Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. At least 41 million people in the United States (21.1% of the population), ages 40 to 74, have pre-diabetes.
