Happy National Type 2 Diabetes Awareness Day

The odds are good that you know someone with type 2 diabetes or you may be a person with diabetes yourself or you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes is continually increasing. In the U.S., 1 in 3 adults has pre-diabetes and is at risk for type 2 diabetes, yet nearly 90% don’t know they have it.

By the year 2050, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts that up to 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes, most having type 2. The amount of money that we spend on type 2 diabetes is crazy stupid high. Per the American Diabetes Association, the total cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. in 2012 was 245 BILLION dollars: $176 billion for direct medical cost and $69 billion in reduced productivity. This has to change.

Learning about diabetes and how to prevent it is the first step toward living a longer, healthier life.

Contradictory Media Messages About Nutrition Confuse People, Really?

I don’t know about you but it seems that every day there is a new nutrition headline that contradicts what we thought we knew. With so much information, it’s hard to know what to believe in terms of good nutrition.

A recent study from the Journal of Health Communication: International Perspectiv e states that exposure to conflicting news about the health benefits of certain foods, vitamins and supplements often results in confusion and backlash against nutrition recommendations.
