Hmmm...Now up to 115 million Americans with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes combined - almost entirely preventable disorders - with one quarter not even knowing they have type 2 diabetes and apparently 9 out of 10 unaware that have prediabetes. And the most powerful therapy? Healthy lifestyle change with improved muscle/fat ratio, which generally works out to mean healthy weight loss (though with a substantial minority the real issue is rather substantial muscle loss/frailty that needs to be the priority issue to address with strength training rather than weight loss, per se) How do we know when weight loss healthy: when youve lost weight but feel even stronger once youve lost the weight than you did when you were heavier: thats a reasonable and practical way to presume youve lost far more body fat than muscle. Or maybe even maintained or gained some muscle depending on how you go about your eating and exercise plan. Why is this type 2 epidemic rampage happening? Our overall national environment and sit and eat big culture is a set up for insulin resistance, pre-diabetes & full blown type 2 diabetes, with ease of comfort/sitting and accessibility to unnecessary, ultra stimulatory/so tasty I dont need to be hungry to over eat it food-like products. Unfortunately, not so comfortable now... Eliminate comfort foods? Thats not my proposal – but calming it down to a dull roar, & combing the dulled roar with national movement to get moving/walk more – yes, those are not impractical goals...so lets get moving America! Enough is enough - lets meet where Reality Meets Science and get on with the healing as people, families, friends, cities, states and as a NATION! ps - as much as I may not have a love affair with them – I did this entire post while getting a couple thousand steps on a treadmill.
