Alabama has a problem with diabetes. Well, America has a problem with diabetes ? it affects about 25.8 million Americans, or about 8.3 percent of the U.S population, according to one estimate ? but Alabama, especially, has a problem with diabetes. In fact, it has one of the highest rates in the country.
That?s part of the reason why the City of Birmingham was chosen to host a new diabetes management pilot program called Cities for Life. The program, initiated by the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFPF) and sponsored by Sanofi US, hopes to connect patients with convenient, easily accessible and easily sustainable resources to mitigate the effects of diabetes.
