Diabetes rate continues to explode
Experts are saying the diabetes epidemic is picking up speed “like a runaway train”. 1 in 14 Americans now have it, and the numbers just keep climbing. Of course, the huge growth is strictly in Type 2 or adult onset diabetes, which is preventable. It’s almost all due to obesity, overeating, sedentary lifestyles, etc. I know I’m headed for “diabesity” if I don’t change my lifestyle radically, which is what this blog is all about. And I’m hoping I can encourage some other folks to make some changes along the way. Diabetes is a horrible disease - blindness, amputations, dialysis, etc. And this is the future we’re creating for ourselves if we don’t get the weight off and start eating right and getting fit.
