The number of Americans with diabetes has grown to about 24 million people, or roughly 8 percent of the U.S. population, the government recently announced. A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), based on data from 2007, said the number represents an increase of about 3 million over two years. The CDC estimates another 57 million people have blood sugar abnormalities called pre-diabetes, which puts people at increased risk for the disease. The percentage of people unaware that they have diabetes fell from 30 percent to 25 percent, according to the study. The total annual economic cost of diabetes in 2007 was estimated to be $174 billion.
