A history lesson continued

U.S. diabetes prevalence, 1958–2015

Now diabetes is not rare at all, but rather an epidemic.

  • 1 in 10 US Americans have Type 2 diabetes.
  • People with Type 2 diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to have depression than people without diabetes (CDC).
  • People with Type 2 diabetes are also at increased risk of anxiety.
