Get the Facts
Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to blindness, heart attack, kidney failure, and amputations. Many people have no symptoms - they learn they have diabetes when they seek help for one of its complications. Diabetes kills more than 223,619 Americans each year - don't let it happen to you or those you care about.
Almost everyone knows someone who has diabetes. Nearly 24 million people in the United States have diabetes mellitus--a serious, lifelong condition. About 1.6 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 years or older in 2007.
