On Monday, as the world observed World Diabetes Day, Gary Feldman, the executive head of healthcare consulting for employee benefits firm NMG Benefits, said diabetes is one of the country's biggest health emergencies, especially for women.
Feldman said what was more concerning was that many people were living with undiagnosed diabetes, which has more serious health consequences if left untreated. Feldman said women with type-2 diabetes had a life expectancy of five years less than average, but 80% of diabetes sufferers don’t know they have pre-diabetes symptoms.
