In a country where more than 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes and nearly 40 million people live with diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes, the U.S. faces a crisis of access and chronic disease management.
On this week’s episode of the foorum Nexus Podcast, we sat down with Miguel Johns, founder of moment* and creator of Milton AI, to explore what it would take to close that care gap and whether artificial intelligence might be part of the solution.
The Scope of the Problem
According to the latest CDC estimates:
- 38.4 million Americans live with diabetes (both diagnosed and undiagnosed)
- 97.6 million adults have prediabetes — most don’t know it
- 1.5 to 1.9 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year
And yet, there simply aren’t enough specialists to support that demand especially in low-income communities, rural areas, or under-resourced health systems.
