Study: U.S. diabetes cases could triple by 2050

 "If current obesity trends don't change, one in three American adults will have diabetes by 2050," is a frightening possibility released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Currently, 1 in 10, or an estimated 23.6 million people in the U.S. are living with diabetes.  A more dire number is the 6 million Americans who don't know that they have the disease and the additional 57 million Americans who are currently pre-diabetic.  Pre-diabetes means that it's probably only a matter time before that person is a full blown diabetic.

While there are pills to control blood sugar levels, diabetes is the leading cause of heart attack, stroke, blindness, lower limb amputations, dementia and cancer - not a good outlook for a long and vibrant life. 
The good news is that most cases of type II diabetes can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle.  A healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are the simple solutions to dramatically lower your risk for diabetes - and most other chronic disease states.
