Population health concept

Diabetes is a growing epidemic taking a devastating physical, emotional and financial toll on our country. The disease is estimated to cost U.S. employers $327 billion per year for medical care, absenteeism and lost productivity and is projected to increase to $622 billion by 2030.

Alarmingly, approximately 96 million American adults have prediabetes and more than 80% don't even know they have it and are at risk for health issues like cardiovascular disease which can lead to additional medical costs.
