  • Cost of Diabetes in New York

An estimated 800,000 adult New Yorkers (almost one in ten) now have diabetes. Diabetes has increased 13% in New York City since 2002. In 2007, 18 of every 100,000 New Yorkers died from diabetes.

The impact of diabetes hits Hispanic, Latino and African American New Yorkers even harder. Almost 20% of Latinos and Hispanics in the New York City market, and 18% of African American New Yorkers, have diabetes. In New York City during 2007, 22 African Americans and 23 Hispanics or Latinos of every 100,000 died from diabetes.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's New York office is so committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.
