The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase at an alarming rate, with more than 9% of all adults and 20% of adults =60 years of age diagnosed with the disease (1). When those with impaired fasting glucose are added, about a third of the adult U.S. population has abnormal glucose metabolism. Equally alarming is that the cost of diabetes in 2007 was $175 billion, which includes $116 billion in excess medical expenditures and $58 billion in reduced national productivity (2). Thus, diabetes is a major, costly, and growing cause of morbidity and mortality in America. What should we be doing about this serious situation?
