Diabetes At Work
Diabetes affects almost 21 million Americans, one third of whom don't know they have it. Another 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes, which raises their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Diabetes is hitting hard during the working years. Between 1997 and 2004, diabetes incidence increased 45% among persons aged 18-44 years and increased 34% among persons aged 45-64 years. Poorly-controlled diabetes and its complications can contribute to absenteeism and affect productivity on the job.
