Diabetes & SSDI in Virginia
Working to Ensure You Receive the Aid You Need
According to the American Diabetes Association, 23.6 million people in the United States have diabetes. That equates to an astounding 8% of the United States population. Diabetes is a disease that is found in individuals whose bodies produce abnormally high glucose levels. When the insulin hormone in the body does not properly convert sugar and starches into energy, diabetes is the result. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with this condition, you may be entitled to receive benefits, and our Virginia attorneys may be able to help.

Types of Diabetes
In Type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. This was commonly referred to as "juvenile diabetes" because it is generally diagnosed in people at a young age.
Type 2 diabetes or "adult onset diabetes" is the leading form of diabetes in the United States. In this form, the body produces insulin, but it does not use it properly. Obesity and lack of exercise are common causes of Type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes occurs in women who are pregnant. Some pregnant women's bodies are unable to produce the amount of insulin needed to support the pregnancy. The build-up of glucose in the body is passed to the baby in the placenta, which is then ultimately stored in the baby as fat.
A shocking 57 million people in the United States have a condition called pre-diabetes. This is the first step toward full-blown Type 2 diabetes, when a person's blood glucose levels are high and nearing the danger point.
