BCG Twitter Forum on Diabetes Today, Join Us @BlkCelebGiving!

BCG Twitter Forum on Diabetes 11.22.11 ~ Join Us!

With nearly 26 million children and adults in America living with diabetes, and another 79 million at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, the disease is taking a devastating physical, emotional and financial toll on our country. Yet, most Americans don’t consider diabetes a serious matter. They feel it is someone else’s responsibility; someone else’s problem.

Recent numbers by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention paint a desperate situation of where we are at, and where we are headed:

* Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes.
* Diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.
* Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes in 2050 unless we take steps to Stop Diabetes.

Compared to the general population, African Americans are disproportionately affected by diabetes:

* 3.7 million, or 14.7 percent of all African Americans aged 20 years or older have diabetes.
* African Americans are 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes as non Hispanic whites.
* 25 percent of African Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have diabetes.
* 1 in 4 African American women over 55 years of age has diabetes.
