As an article over at foxnews points out, up to 1/3 of Americans now have developed Type 2 Diabetes and do not even know it. Its amazing how these numbers keep on inflating at such a dramatic rate. People are really going to have to start heavily considering their lifestyle if developments like this are of any concern.

As the article points out that would mean the total is up to around 73 million.

“As many as a third of American adults with type 2 diabetes don’t even know they have the disease, according to alarming new findings from the National Institutes of Health and the CDC.”
