About

Chances are good that you or someone you know has type 2 diabetes. According to the CenterS for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 34.2 million people in the United States or 10.5 percent of the population, had diabetes in 2018. Up to 95 percent of them had Type 2 Diabetes. Roughly 1 in 5 individuals with diabetes (7.3 million) didn’t even know they had it. Certain factors can increase the risk that you may develop type 2 diabetes: You're older than 45. Nearly half of new cases of diabetes in the United States in 2018 were among adults age 45 to 64, and nearly 27 percent of adults over age 65 have the condition. Carrying extra weight increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Losing weight helps. Shedding 5 to 7 percent of your body weight (10 to 14 pounds for a 200 pound person) can lower a person’s risk of progressing from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. LET'S GET HEALTHY! LET'S GO!
