This is what diabetes looks like. Please send us your picture to add to help us show the true pictures of diabetes.

 

Diabetes is a disease which directly causes over 5,000 deaths per year and contributes to about 25,000. In economic terms, diabetes costs Canadians more than $9 billion annually, including both direct costs and those stemming from premature death and lost productivity. *From the Senate Debates (page 4 from Senate Debates) --June 6, 2006 Hon. Marilyn Trenholme Counsell

According to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention..... Diabetes is the sixth-leading cause of death by disease and costs approximately $132 billion per year in direct and indirect medical expenses.
