The Most Common Diabetes
In the United States, a significant health challenge has emerged in the form of chronic diseases, including obesity and diabetes.
Many people think of diabetes in its two forms: type 1 and type 2.
"A lot of people think oh diabetes, you know there's type 1 in type two, and your mind immediately goes to oh it's probably 50/50,"
In reality, 90 to 95% of diabetes cases fall under type 2. This misconception often leads to misunderstandings about the epidemic's actual reach and severity.
Type 2 diabetes is mostly self-inflicted when poor dietary habits persist. Recognizing the enormous impact of diet is crucial in addressing this growing public health concern.
- 90-95% of diabetes cases are type 2.
- Common myths mislead perceptions of diabetes prevalence.
- Curbing type 2 diabetes focuses primarily on dietary improvements.
