Abstract
There are currently 37.3 million people (about twice the population of New York) in the United States living with diabetes, approximately 11.3% of the population, and 90% to 95% of those in this group are classified as living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). When people diagnosed with prediabetes are included, the group size increases by 96 million, thereby reaching 38% of the US population at risk for T2D and related sequelae.1 The economic burden associated with diabetes is staggering, accounting for $237 billion spent annually in direct medical costs and another $90 billion in reduced productivity for a price tag of $327 billion.2 Holistic care providers are rightly concerned about these costs and the magnitude of opportunity costs and quality-of-life concerns associated with diabetes in all its forms.
