This report, a publication of the CDC, provides eye opening research on the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and prediabetes, risk factor for complications, acute and long term complications, deaths and costs.

On Tuesday, Feb. 18 the CDC/Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) released the National Diabetes Statistics Report, 2020, which provides the latest findings on the state of diabetes in the United States.

This document is intended to provide up-to-date scientific data and statistics on diabetes and its burden in the United States. Formerly known as the National Diabetes Fact Sheet, this consensus document is written primarily for a scientific audience.

Some key findings from the National Diabetes Statistics Report include the following:

There's a 50% higher occurrence of diabetes in truck drivers than the national average;

While the use of insulin is no longer a complete barrier to being able to operate a commercial vehicle on the road, a driver must be able to prove they are maintaining stable blood sugars; not an easy task.

We are offering a new online health program called Omada® to eligible truck drivers. The program surrounds you with the tools and support you need to lose weight, build healthy habits, and help reduce your risk for certain chronic diseases.
