Answer 5

There are 23.6 million people in the United States, or 8% of the population, who have diabetes. The total prevalence of diabetes increased 13.5% from 2005-2007. Only 24% of diabetes is undiagnosed, down from 30% in 2005 and from 50% ten years ago.

According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 850,000 to 1.7 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes. Of those, about 125,000 are kids 19 and under. An additional 30,000 Americans develop Type 1 diabetes every year, 13,000 of whom are children. Type 2 diabetes is much more prevalent, with an estimated 16 million Americans having Type 2. Millions of people with type 2 diabetes have not yet been diagnosed.

Answer 6

Here you go....

7.8% of the US population has diabetes.  5.7 of them are undiagnosed.

5 to 10% of these people have type 1 diabetes

90 to 95 % have type 2 diabetes.

12.0 million men in US have diabetes (11.2 million are at least age 20)

11.5 million women in US have diabetes (10.2 million at least age 20)

186,300 people in the US under the age of 20 have type 1 and 2.
