In recent years, the world has witnessed an alarming rise in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of individuals. According to the International Diabetes Federation, over 463 million adults worldwide were living with diabetes in 2019, with Type 2 Diabetes accounting for the majority of cases. In the United States alone, approximately 34.2 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, and about 90-95% of them have Type 2 Diabetes.

Obesity is a major risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes and has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nearly 70% of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese! This growing prevalence of excess weight plays a significant role in the development of Type 2 Diabetes, making it imperative to address the underlying causes.

With proper nutrition and exercise, diabetes can be managed. Consuming whole foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while avoiding processed foods and sugary snacks is a great place to start. Incorporate exercise that you enjoy and have a recipe for lowering your blood sugar levels.
