There are nearly 26 million people suffering from diabetes in the USA; it is forecast that over the next 10 years there will be 40 million more diabetics in the country.
Moreover, another 100 million individuals could develop pre-diabetes; a condition which can often lead to diabetes.
Being overweight or obese can trigger this condition. Scientific evidence highlights that fitness programmes and weight loss programmes can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes from developing.
It is worthwhile for lifestyle interventions to be promoted to save people from needlessly suffering.
The cost for managing the diabetes epidemic in the USA is estimated at $512 billion per annum. Active promotion of lifestyle interventions would also reduce the diabetes management healthcare bill.
