An estimated 285 million people worldwide had diabetes in 2010, according to the International Diabetes Federation. The federation predicts as many as 438 million will have diabetes by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in 2007, and is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and amputation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 18px 0px 25px 45px;\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/RLFmsu0f1II?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/RLFmsu0f1II?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooper University Hospital, in partnership with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) &#8211; South Jersey Chapter, is participating in the International Diabetes Federation\u2019s global campaign to light iconic monuments and sites in blue to mark World Diabetes Day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[393,394],"class_list":{"0":"entry","1":"post","2":"publish","3":"author-ddevenney","4":"has-excerpt","5":"has-more-link","6":"post-1700","8":"format-standard","9":"category-events","10":"post_tag-diabetes","11":"post_tag-juvenile-diabetes"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
