  15. Project Diabetes SNPhA is in strong support of Diabetes as one of our clinical initiatives. Diabetes currently effects 23.6 million adults and children in the United States. Roughly 25% of these patients are unaware of their condition. In addition to these staggering statistics Medicare has shown that at least 1 out of every 4 adults (~ 57 million people) are living with pre-diabetes. SNPhA has accepted the challenge to educate patients on disease state management, lifestyle modifications, medication therapy, and monitoring related to Diabetes.
