1 in 3 Adults has Prediabetes. Are you one of them?🤔
It's national diabetes month- a time to cut through the noise and talk about what really matters: your long-term vitality.
The reality? 38 million Americans are living with diabetes right now, and nearly 98 million have prediabetes (and most don't even know it).
What is diabetes? Simply put, it's a chronic condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. When your body doesn't make enough insulin- or can't use it as well as it should- blood sugar stays in your bloodstream, leading to serious health issues over time.
🚩Know Your Risk Factors:
♦️ Family History
♦️ Age (45+)
♦️ Physical Inactivity
♦️ Overweight/Obesity
🛡️Prevention is Power (and it's simple): You can rewrite your health story. Small, integrative changes make a big impact:
1. Move More: Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity daily.
2. Eat Whole Foods: Focus on fiber-rich veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
3. Sleep: Priortize sleep and recovery and focus on reducing stress as chronic stress can impact blood sugar.
⛑️Why Early Detection Saves Lives: Diabetes often hides in plain sight. "Feeling fine" doesn't always mean you are in the clear. Testing your A1C levels is one of the best ways to know for sure. Catching it early means you can often reverse prediabetes before it becomes a diagnosis.
