Abstract

There has been a steady increase in prevalence of diabetes over the past 40 years. In 1998, approx 5.9% of the US population, 15.7 million Americans, were reported to have diabetes (1). Of that total, 10.3 million people have been diagnosed, and another 5.4 million people have diabetes but are not aware of it. This is in contrast to 1958, when it was reported that approx 1.5 million Americans had diabetes. Diabetes is most prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly population, affecting approx 18.4% of people age 65 or older. Ethnic populations that have a two- to fivefold increased risk of diabetes include Native-Americans, Hispanic-Americans (Latino or Mexican origin), African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Pacific Islanders, and Alaska natives (1).
