In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were more than 30 million adults in the United States with diabetes, and close to 24 percent of that number were not aware or did not report the condition (https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/data/statistics/statistics-report.html). This equates to almost 10 percent of the US population living with the disease, and that rises to over 25 percent for the population of adults age 65 or older. Beyond these sobering numbers, it is estimated that based on fasting glucose or A1C levels, an alarming one-third of US adults had prediabetes in 2015.
