Diabetes is a growing issue in the U.S., and it’s hitting harder than most folks realize. “More than 38 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and about 90% to 95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes most often develops in people 45 or older, but more and more children, teens, and young adults are also developing it,” the US CDC says. With so much fast food, stress, and not enough movement, it’s no surprise rates keep climbing. What’s scary? The early signs can be easy to miss like being tired or thirsty all the time. A quick check-up and blood sugar test could make a big difference before things get serious.
