Is it true?
Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic in the United States.
Of the 29 million Americans with diabetes, it’s estimated that 90% – 95% of all cases are Type 2.
The truly discouraging part of these statistics is that Type 2 diabetes is almost completely avoidable.
Nearly all of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes are lifestyle choices which are completely under the control of the patient.
There are other risk factors (such as genetics), but without the addition of the lifestyle risk factors, it is rare for these other risks to evolve into diabetes.
