糖尿病是一种缺乏或缺乏胰岛素的激素，胰岛素是负责控制血糖的主要激素。根据美国疾病控制中心（CDC）的健康统计中心在2005年进行的全国健康访谈调查，美国有近2080万成年人和儿童，约占人口的7%，患有糖尿病。在这个群体中，只有大约1560万人被正式诊断为糖尿病;另有620万人仍然不知道他们患有这种疾病。糖尿病目前是美国第五大死亡原因，但卫生政策专家认为，糖尿病导致的死亡率被大大低估。糖尿病与许多增加死亡风险的严重并发症有关，包括心脏病和中风、肥胖、癌症、高血压、肾衰竭、神经系统疾病、创伤性截肢和代谢失衡。
Diabetes is a deficiency or absence of the hormone insulin, which is the main hormone responsible for the control of sugar in the blood. According to the National Health Interview Survey, (1) conducted by the Center for Health Statistics at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2005, nearly 20.8 million adults and children in the United States, or about seven percent of the population, suffered from diabetes. Of this group, only about 15.6 million have been formally diagnosed with diabetes; another 6.2 million people remain unaware that they have the disease. Diabetes is currently the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States, but health policy experts believe that mortality attributed to diabetes is vastly under-reported. Diabetes is associated with a number of serious complications that increase the risk of death, including heart disease and stroke, obesity, cancer, high blood pressure, kidney failure, neurological diseases, traumatic amputations, and metabolic imbalances.
