Diabetes and Lower-Wage Workers
Download NEBGH's Newest Report!
More than 30 million Americans – roughly one in 10 – have diabetes, making it one of the most prevalent diseases in the U.S. Studies show the cost of diagnosed diabetes has reached $327 billion annually, with health costs for individuals with diabetes more than twice those without. Low socioeconomic status doubles the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, which is more common among racial and ethnic minorities and people who are less educated, and more likely those who are lower-wage earners.
Download our new guide Diabetes and Lower-Wage Workers which will show you how to address the health care needs of lower-wage workers with diabetes and the rising costs associated with them.
