Good news for those looking for a cheaper way to manage diabetes: Walmart will launch its own brand of insulin, and says it ll be affordable and more accessible.
For those who don t know, diabetes is a condition where the body doesn t break down the food we eat properly to produce the energy we need. The pancreas produces insulin which helps glucose get into our cells, and those with diabetes have issues with that process, either because the pancreas doesn t produce enough insulin or the body has trouble with the insulin it does produce.
There is Type 1 diabetes, which the CDC says accounts for 5% to 10% of all cases, and Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90% to 95% of all cases. As of 2020, the CDC says just over 1 in 10 people, or 34.2 million Americans, have diabetes, with over 88 million people with prediabetes. Black Americans are 1.7 times as likely to develop diabetes as whites.
