SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) According to the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention, there are 79,000,000 adults 
with pre-diabetes in America. The Centers estimates 
that 50 percent of adults who are 65 years of age 
or older have pre-diabetes. More than 90 percent of 
adults with pre-diabetes are unaware they have it. 
(2) For a significant number of people with 
pre-diabetes, early intervention can reverse elevated 
blood glucose levels to normal range and prevent di-
abetes and its complications completely or can sig-
nificantly delay its onset. According to the Institute
