About diabetes

If you have diabetes or know someone who does, you're not alone. Diabetes affects more and more people each and every day.

In fact, more than 20 million people in the United States have diabetes. And many of these people—about 6 million—don't even know they have diabetes.^,

The good news is that by taking insulin or other diabetes treatments and making healthy lifestyle choices, people can help manage their diabetes. Staying active and eating right are also important parts of effective diabetes management.^,,
