The problem is only getting worse as doctors diagnose 1.4 million more cases a year in America. According to the El Paso Diabetes Association, nine percent of people in Texas have diabetes. Every year diabetes leads to limb amputations, kidney failure, and blindness. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of adult blindness.
