WHY DO IT? Chances are you know someone with diabetes. Over 26 million children and adults in the U.S. have diabetes, 1/3 of them don't know it, and over 79 milion are pre-diabetic. Every 17 seconds someone in this country is diagnosed with diabetes. If current trends continue, 1 in 3 children born today will develop this chronic disease in their lifetime.
