The Diabetes Diagnosis Information Page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and the Diabetes Foundation Inc. It is intended to provide educational information and healthcare savings resources for those living with this diagnosis.

Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin. According to the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 25.8 million children and adults in the U.S. (8.3% of the population) have diabetes. The disease is a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness and amputations, and a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Although diabetes is not curable it is certainly treatable.
