According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes has reached epidemic proportions with nearly 24 million children and adults currently living with the diabetes and another 57 million Americans with pre-diabetes. The disease leads to life-threatening complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.
