2 Question 1 Prevalence According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 37.3 million Americans (11.3% of the population) were diagnosed with diabetes in 2015. It is expected that by 2030, this figure would have risen to 14.1%, corresponding to 54.9 million individuals. Because of the rising frequency and severity of diabetes and its repercussions, ongoing research, prevention, and treatment of diabetes and associated disorders are essential. Efforts to minimize the incidence of diabetes, such as expanding education, supporting healthier lifestyles, and improving access to high-quality health care, are critical to lowering the disease's economic and social costs. incidence Around 1.6 million individuals in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes for the first time. It is expected that the yearly rate of new cases would rise to 2.2 million by 2030. Both the incidence and severity of the diabetes epidemic are increasing. Diabetes is eighth among the main causes of mortality in the United States, with an estimated annual healthcare expenditure of more than $245 billion ( Dawson et al., 2021). Diabetes not only has a negative influence on our society's economic environment, but it also has serious consequences for the status of our national health. Question 2 Diabetes was the underlying cause of death for 282,801 persons who died in the United States in 2019 (CDC, n.d). Diabetes is now the sixth biggest cause of mortality in the United

3 States. Accounting for variations in population growth between 2017 and 2019, the disease was responsible for 24.3% fewer fatalities in 2019. Diabetes may cause a variety of consequences, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, renal failure, and blindness, all of which contribute significantly to the condition's high mortality rate. Diabetes, if not properly controlled, may raise the chance of mortality as well as other complications such as hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Diabetes complications, such as infections and a slow healing process for wounds, dramatically raise the probability of death for persons suffering from the disease. It is critical that efforts in the areas of research, prevention, and treatment be sustained in order to address the growing incidence of diabetes and the related issues. Diabetes is a big health issue in our nation, but its prevalence might be lowered by implementing preventative measures such as greater physical activity, healthier food, and easier access to medical treatment.
