  • 17.9 million people are diagnosed and 5.7 million people are undiagnosed
  • Pre-diabetes affects as many as 57 million people
  • There are 1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older each year.
  • One in every three children born since 2000 faces a future with diabetes. We can reverse this trend by providing healthy food in schools where our children spend a large portion of their day.
