Diabetes rates double, especially in South
The CDC announces that rates of type 2 diabetes have nearly doubled overall in the last ten years,and more than doubled in states in the south and in Puerto Rico. Ten years ago, the average was around 5%; now it’s around 10%. No surprise: the rates closely track rates of obesity.
