blindness, and 1 million amputations/year worldwide

Incidence of T2 diabetes is exploding globally – with epidemic-level profiles
in the US – China – India – Middle East

In the US alone, diabetes affects 24M people, and overall
cost to the healthcare system is $170B and rising

of diabetes since the discovery of insulin in 1921
