Type 2 diabetes—what you need to know
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and while I think we’re all pretty aware of what diabetes is, what you need to know is that it’s spiraling out of control in the US (and many other countries).

Diabetes now linked to these chronic conditions
Currently in the US about 30 million people have diabetes, with the majority of those cases (90 – 95 percent) being type 2.

For example, past studies have shown that people with diabetes are more likely to report muscle or joint pain than nondiabetics.

This epidemic is exploding—are you next?
Currently, about 31 million Americans have diabetes, and another 84 million have elevated blood sugar levels (prediabetes).

Between 1990 and 2013, US diabetes rates skyrocketed by a whopping 71 percent!
Now the begging question here is: What’s going on?

Could you have diabetes in the making?
Contrary to popular belief, rarely does a person wake up one day and POOF! they suddenly get struck with a disease that comes out of nowhere.

Disease is created over time, step by step, as long as you continue to provide the right conditions for it to flourish. And nowhere is this truer than with Type 2 diabetes.
