our risk of diabetes, without the sugar coating An estimated 200,000 Michigan residents don't know they have diabetes. Diabetes affects people of all ages, nationalities and income levels. In Michigan, over a quarter of a million residents have been diagnosed with this disease. Diabetics are at increased risk of eye and kidney disease as well as cardiovascular problems.
