Q: "Who does diabetes affect? Can you provide statistics?"
A: You didn't mention whether or not you are newly diagnosed and want to know more about diabetes, or if this is a general inquiry. There are many excellent National Diabetes Websites that provide this information in detail—according to types of diabetes, age, sex, race, etc. The links listed below provide the specific information you requested.
