Expert Commentary: Robert Kritzler MD 11/06/09

Diabetes mellitus affects close to 21 million Americans, both children and adults, representing over 7 percent of the US population (source: American Diabetes Association 2009). Unfortunately, close to one-third of these individuals are unaware that they have the disease. They may be in a pre-diabetic phase or, if actually diabetic, do not have symptoms. Awareness among that one-third is as important as compliance, since lifestyle modification can largely prevent the onset of the disease. Within the other two- thirds, many are not getting the treatment they need.
