The number of people who die from diabetes related illness.

My brother is diabetic so this kind of thing always attracts my attention. What I'm truly looking forward to is Obama taking over the White House in January and reversing Shrubs executive order that prevents funding of stem cell research.

Fairly often I see articles referencing advancements in diabetes research using stem cell therapy. Like this one in Brazil. Think how much farther along we could be if the richest country with some of the best research facilities was participating.
