Warning signs and risk factors for diabetes
June 1, 2017
Most of us know what we need to do to stay healthy. Eat right. Exercise. Maintain a healthy weight. But studies show we're not taking care of ourselves the way we should. And this has led to an increase in people who live with diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 29 million people -- over 9 percent of the U.S. population -- live with diabetes. That number includes more than 8 million people who have diabetes but don't know it because they haven't been diagnosed yet.
As you age, the chance of getting diabetes increases. Nearly 12 million Americans age 65 and older are a big part of that percentage. When you think about it, you probably know someone who suffers from diabetes -- a family member, a friend, a co-worker. The disease isn't selective.
