Don't Let Diabetes Rob You of Life!

One out of every 10 adults (about 20.6 million people) in the United States has diabetes.

If you've been told that you have diabetes or high blood glucose levels that lead to diabetes, you should be very concerned. According to the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org), diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death. And that number may be far too low.

Only 35% to 40% of diabetics who died in 2002 had diabetes listed anywhere on their death certificate, reports the ADA.

And since adults with diabetes are 2 to 4 times as likely to have heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes, diabetes may actually account for as much as twice as many deaths as reported.
