美国糖尿病并发症的悲惨状态

A report released at a recent meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), called “The State of Diabetes Complications in America,” has revealed some pretty depressing facts about the consequences of diabetes today.
最近在美国临床内分泌协会(AACE)发布的一个报告，称“美国糖尿病并发症的状态”，透露了一些关于目前糖尿病结果的非常低沉的事实
Approximately three out of five diabetic people have at least one complication, such as heart disease, stroke, eye damage, foot problems, or chronic kidney disease. One out of three has two complications, and the numbers mount from there: one out of ten has three complications, one out of fifteen has four, and one out of thirteen has five.
大约五分之三的糖尿病人，至少有一种并发症，如心脏病，中风，眼疾患，足问题或者慢性肾病。三分之一，有两种并发症。这个数字还在上升：十分之一有三种并发症，十五分之一有四种，十三分之一有五种
Annual healthcare costs for a person with diabetes are about three times that of someone without diabetes. In 2006, we spent $22.9 billion on direct medical costs related to diabetes complications, not including costs related to lost employment, premature death, and disability. Add that to the $37 billion spent yearly to treat diabetes itself, and the total reaches staggering proportions. Treatment for each and every person with diabetes averages almost $10,000 every year, and patients pay about $1,600 of that out of their own pockets.
每个糖尿病人的年度财政支出是非糖尿病人的三倍，2006年，国家花费$22.9 billion 229亿美元，直接支付与糖尿病有关的并发症，还不包括失业补偿，早期死亡和残疾。加上每年糖尿病自身的治疗，达37亿美元。总数达到令人惊异的程度
每年，每一个糖尿病人的平均费用，1万美元，个人支付1，600元，
In 2005, the AACE found that most (66 percent) people with type 2 diabetes did not achieve the recommended A1c of 6.5%. Lifestyle changes combined with aggressive drug treatment could change that, but they’re not being sufficiently implemented. For example, the National Eye Institute estimates that ninety percent of the blindness from diabetes is preventable. Unfortunately, fifty percent of people already have complications by the time they’re diagnosed with diabetes, making it clear that intervention is coming along much too late in the game.
2005年，AACE发现，绝大多数2型糖尿病人（66%）糖化血红蛋白都没有达标6.5%，改变生活方式联合强化药物治疗，可以改变这一现状，但都没有好好执行。例如，国家眼疾研究院，估计90%因糖尿病失明的人是可以预防的。不幸的是，50%的人，在他们被诊断为糖尿病时，已经有了并发症，很明显，接受干预已经为时太晚
