According to the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention National Diabetes Statistics Report estimates that 37% of adults over the age 20 years and more than 50% of those older than 65 years had pre diabetes in 2009-2012 which translates to about 86 million adults with prediabetes in United States.The world wide prevalence of prediabetes in 2010 was estimated to be 343 million which is nearly 7.8% of the world population. That’s a lot of people among us!
