Type 2 diabetes is a significant problem. Over 37 million people live with diabetes in the US, and over 90% of them have type 2 diabetes. A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes can be scary or overwhelming, but there is hope. Whether you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (by measuring hemoglobin A1c level) or have been told you are at risk for developing diabetes, it is entirely possible to prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes.

Weight loss, when attained through a combination of healthy diet and regular physical activity, offers an exceptional arsenal of benefits for managing and reducing the risk of various comorbidities or chronic conditions. Obesity is a common denominator in numerous health complications, including type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, certain types of cancer, and even mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
