Die Übersetzung ist noch nicht verfügbar. Der Originalartikel wird angezeigt.

Nearly every American family has been touched by diabetes—a parent, a grandparent, a child, or a neighbor whose daily life is shaped by this disease. This National Diabetes Month, we recognize the millions of Americans struggling with diabetes, and we reaffirm our commitment to reverse the chronic disease epidemic in our Nation and Make America Healthy Again. In recent decades, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has doubled, with more than 40 million men and women in the United States living with the disease. An estimated 25 percent of adults living with diabetes are unaware they have it, putting their health at serious risk every single day. For too long, the Federal Government accepted these numbers as the cost of modern life.
