I think a lot of diabetes in the US is a result of our high sugar diets. Portions are large, and a lot of supermarket foods are prepackaged and full of extra sugar. These foods are marketed towards children a lot of the times too, contributing to childhood obesity and the development of diabetes later in life. I can't speak to the accessibility of medical equipment, as my family members with the condition have never had issues accessing it.

Diet is a big part of this. I feel that our mostly sedentary lifestyle is just as big of a contributor to diabetes. Obesity is getting out of control and diabetes goes hand in hand with that.
