An estimated 98 million American adults have prediabetes and 8 out of 10 do not know they have it according to the CDC (2024). According to the American Diabetes Association (2024), the cost of diagnosed diabetes in America was 412.9 billion dollars in 2022 and 7.3 billion dollars in Tennessee in 2021.
How We See the Solution
Prediabetes is a state of insulin resistance that results in blood glucose levels being above-normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. Prediabetes increases one's chance of having Type 2 diabetes.
But people with prediabetes who have risk factors for Type 2 diabetes will help to decrease health care cost in counties and the state of Tennessee.
Early Detection
Identifying prediabetes early allows for intervention before it progresses to Type 2 diabetes.
Community Education
Providing accessible education and resources to communities across Tennessee.
Cost Reduction
Reducing healthcare costs through prevention rather than treatment.
