According to the the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse 20.8 million people, which is about 7 percent of the population, had diabetes in 2005. The NDIC says that Diabetes is “a group of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death, but people with diabetes can take steps to control the disease and lower the risk of complications.” Source: http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/general.htm
