According to the CDC, there are over 40 million people in the US with diabetes.

The CDC estimates that over 11 million people over the age of 18 have undiagnosed diabetes.

In addition, over 115 million adults in the US have prediabetes.

What steps can be taken to prevent complications related to diabetes?

The CDC recommends effective management of hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, and avoiding smoking is important in preventing complications from diabetes.

Regular appointments with your Provider, following their recommendations, and healthy lifestyle modifications can have a significantly positive impact on managing diabetes.
