“Diabetics in U.S. May Double in 25 Years, Tripling Health Costs” discusses a study published today in the journal Diabetes Care.
The article continues “Without new programs to assure that people get health care to manage their condition, 44.1 million people in the U.S. will have diabetes by 2034, from 23.7 million today, the report said. The number of diabetics on Medicare, the government plan for the elderly, will reach 14.1 million from 6.5 million today.”
