DISCUSSION
Diabetes is an epidemic and a public health crisis in Texas The incidence rate has increased ten fold
in the last 60 years (3 7 per 1,000 in 1936 to 30 6 per 1,000 in 1995) The estimated prevalence of
diabetes in Texas is 6 5% Diabetes impacts minorities disproportionately, i e , 11 4% for African
Americans and 9 3% for Hispanic Americans Based on the cost methodology developed by the
University of Texas ("Direct and Indirect Costs of Diabetes in Texas, 1992", by Dr David Warner, LBJ
School of Public Affairs, et al ), it is estimated that the annual cost of diabetes in Texas is approximately
$4 billion Using this same cost methodology, the financial burden of diabetes annually for the people
of Fort Worth is estimated to be $102,168,000 Yet we continue to spend health care dollars on
downstream medical technology and treatment, rather than focusing on prevention and intervention
The medical complications associated with diabetes are serious It is estimated that as many as 915 to
1,830 Texans will go blind each year as a result of diabetic retinopathy Another 4,118 Texans will
undergo amputations and an estimated 1,509 Texans will develop kidney disease as a result of
diabetes Most individuals with Type 2 Diabetes have another chronic condition to manage and each
health condition intensifies the severity of the other condition(s) With diabetes, Cardiovascular
Disease is two to four times more common in individuals, stroke is 2 5 times more common in
individuals, and high blood pressure affects 60 to 65% of the individuals Over 40% of the individuals
with any chronic health condition have more than one condition to manage, and most chronic health
conditions are behaviorally related Type 2 Diabetes may be preventable through proper nutrition and
physical activity It is estimated that 50% of the blindness and 60% of the amputations are preventable
Even with new medications and management methodology, diabetes is still the leading cause of
blindness, kidney disease, and amputations in Texas, making it one of our most serious, costly, and
common public health threats
