There has been a 40% increase in diabetes in men and women aged 40 to 49 - and a 70% jump in those aged 30 to 39. Millions of Americans - including you and people you love - need to be protected from this epidemic. Throughout this website you will learn Type 2 diabetes can put people at risk of heart and artery disease and for stroke.
