About this listen
I hope you enjoy and find this book useful.
In 2020, approximately 10% of the American population was diagnosed with diabetes. However, the current trajectory suggests that the prevalence of diabetes could potentially reach 50% of the population by 2025, indicating a significant and concerning rise in the condition.
Genetics, non-nutritious diets, inactivity, and obesity combine to create this surge in numbers.
In all the research I have done since I was diagnosed, the term PreDiabetes seems to be in the process of being replaced by “at risk” of Diabetes. I am not sure why. When you Google “at risk” as a term, you get:
- Being at risk means being in a situation where something unpleasant might happen
That is not really very useful when risk is attached to a condition such as Type 2 Diabetes.
If there exists a “pre” phase during which proactive measures can be taken to mitigate the risk of developing diabetes, a compelling sense of urgency should be conveyed to prompt immediate action. This approach effectively serves as a call to action, which aligns with my perspective on prevention of diabetes.
PreDiabetes serves as a powerful indicator that the body’s capacity to process glucose (sugar) is not functioning optimally. Prediabetes is a condition that arises from the interplay of genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors, including obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and an unhealthy diet.
If lifestyle modifications are not implemented, individuals with prediabetes will progress to Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a significant health condition that presents numerous challenges. Type 2 diabetes can significantly shorten the life expectancy of individuals affected by it.
The call to action for preventing the diagnosis of either condition is the same: lifestyle and dietary changes. If you are diagnosed with either condition and wish to reverse or mitigate it, the action required is the same.
We just need to pay attention!
