Diabetes is a growing epidemic in the United States. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), an estimated 18.8 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, and another 7 million people are unaware they even have the disease. It is therefore extremely important to become aware of the symptoms of Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes and to share them with your friends and family. The ADA currently recommends that all adults aged 45 years and older be considered for screening by their health care provider every 3 years.

In the past 15 years, the number of individuals with diabetes in New York City has more than doubled. Still, preventing and managing diabetes can be within your control, and lifestyle changes can have a major impact on this disease. For example, you can help offset its progression through diet and exercise. Mount Sinai is here to help. The Mount Sinai Diabetes Center is recognized as a Center of Excellence by the ADA for its diabetes education program. Through the Stanley Mirsky, MD, Education Unit, Mount Sinai empowers people with diabetes to take care of their chronic disease and prevent complications.
