Undiagnosed diabetes costs U.S. $18 billion a year

Kudos, fatsos.
"About 6.3 million Americans have diabetes without knowing it, and complications from their undiagnosed disease account for an estimated $18 billion in U.S. healthcare costs each year, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

Prior studies have shown that diabetes cost the U.S. economy about $174 billion in 2007 in medical expenses and lost productivity...

They estimated that undiagnosed diabetes in 2007 cost an additional $2,864 per person, or a total of $18 billion per year."
Or $3 per person for each person on the planet.

And that is for the undiagnosed cases only.

Get fit. Fight back. Or go broke.
