Type 2 diabetes and its precursor, prediabetes, are major health problems in the United States. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 40 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with diabetes at some point in their lifetime. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of those diagnoses. Type 1 diabetes makes up just 5 percent of cases.
