Answer 1

The best estimate is that approximately 30% of the population have diabetes in the United States.

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best estimate of the average percentage of people with diabetes in the United States is approximately 30%.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for about 90% of all cases.

Today, about 30 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, which is around 10% of the population. Another 90 million have pre-diabetes.
