Inflation-adjusted annual hospital costs for diabetes increased 130 percent, from $1.05 billion in 1993 to $2.42 billion in 2004."

"With the rising rate of diabetes among youngsters, the researchers see the number of hospitalizations increasing even more over coming years."

The clear result of child-abusing parents.
