On average, 40 children per day :(
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed as either a child or teenager (more rarely, as a young adult). Very few people ever develop Type 1 diabetes after about age 25. Type 2 diabetes typically has an onset around middle age, normally sometime in one's 40s or 50s, though in one's 30s is becoming more common with the increased population obesity rate.
100 000 children die needlessly from cancer every year. Childhood Cancer Parent Organisations say that of the 220,000 children who develop cancer every year, 80% die without adequate treatment. Many do not even receive morphine.

There are two types of diabetes. The first is Type One, or Juvenile, diabetes. Type One diabetes is found in statistically similar numbers throughout the world. Type Two diabetes, also called adult onset diabetes, is most commonly associated with obesity. This is the type of diabetes that the American Diabetes Association states has reached epidemic proportions in America. I would conjecture that the reason Type Two diabetes is so widespread in the United States is that this country is by far the one that consumes the most junk food, leading to a more obese populace on average.
approximately 200-300 children are diagnosed with a DIPG in the US every year. Very poor prognosis with an average survival time of approx 9 months from diagnosis.
In 2013 CDC released data saying that 1 in 68 children are diagnosed as autistic, which seem to also be true for adults. Not all autistic people are diagnosed so we don'tknow the true figures in how many people are autistic.
