November is National Diabetes Awareness Month
Almost 24 million Americans have diabetes and nearly 300,000 people diagnosed with endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases as their primary diagnoses receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits¹, according to Allsup, the nation’s leading Social Security disability representation company. Those numbers are expected to rise.
A recent study² found that hospitalizations for diabetes in the United States rose 65 percent over a 14-year span (1993 to 2006).
