Diabetes is becoming more common in the United States. From 1980 through 2004, the number of Americans with diabetes more than doubled (from 5.8 million to 14.7 million). As the detailed tables show, people aged 65 years or older account for almost 40 percent of the population with diabetes. Get the facts at the CDC web site. Go to site.
