The first step to preventing diabetes is knowledge and awareness. There are three main types of diabetes which are Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes (T2D), and Gestational Diabetes. T2D is the most common among the three and is 80% preventable with eating healthier and regular exercise. Research has shown that obesity is one of the main contributors to being at risk for T2D. There are currently 96 million Americans that have prediabetes, and many of these individuals are unaware that they are at risk for getting T2D.
