It is now common knowledge that we know there is an obesity epidemic. We have about 40% of the adults in the world who are eating the modern Western diet diagnosed with obesity. As a result, we have more prediabetes and more type 2 diabetes with corresponding complications from this condition. There are numerous medications used to try to lower your blood sugar. but these are not curing anything, and the condition slowly progresses.
Type 2 diabetes is preceded by prediabetes, at which type we still have a chance to prevent progression. Prediabetes is preceded by obesity, which is usually present for several years before.
Unfortunately, we now have about a third of the kids with some level of obesity. Many of these go on to be obese adults, adults with prediabetes, and finally adults with Type 2 diabetes.
I will teach you about obesity and how to prevent it, if you have prediabetes you may be able to prevent progression. If you have diabetes, you may not be able to cure it, but you can improve your treatment.
