Up to one-third of U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050

That's the finding of a recent study by the CDC:

"If recent increases in diabetes incidence continue and diabetes mortality is relatively low, prevalence will increase to 33% by 2050. A middle-ground scenario projects a prevalence of 25% to 28% by 2050," Theodore J. Thompson, of the agency's Division of Diabetes Translation, and colleagues reported Friday in the journal Population Health Metrics."

That's an alarming number, but, given the state and direction of health overall in this country, it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
