As a primary care provider, I see many patients with diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control’s national diabetes statistics report of 2020, approximately 34.2 million people had diabetes in 2018 (10.5% of the U.S. population), 1.5 million being new cases among ages 18 and older. Type 2 diabetes is increasingly diagnosed in youth and now accounts for 20% to 50% of new-onset diabetes case patients.
