Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by hyperglycemia and is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Approximately 90% to 95% of cases are type 2 diabetes, which occurs because of insulin resistance, often in combination with a relative deficiency in insulin production. The majority of the other 5% to 10% of cases are type 1 diabetes, which is caused by an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, the cells that make insulin. In the United States, 34.2 million people—10.5% of the population—are living with diabetes, and an additional 88 million adults have prediabetes.
