It’s that time of year again—World Diabetes Day (WDD)! Now, if you asked us what the two biggest things to know about diabetes are today, we’d start with the serious bit: diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. But here’s the good news – about half of people with diabetes can actually reverse it and say goodbye to the disease for good!
So, what is World Diabetes Day? Before we get into all the good stuff, let’s take a moment to understand WDD. This day is all about raising awareness for a condition that impacts nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Diabetes contributes to over four million deaths each year and racks up a staggering half a trillion dollars in costs! Type-2 diabetes is the most common type, often caused by poor lifestyle choices and unhealthy eating habits. It’s a condition where insulin can no longer get sugar out of your blood and into your cells, causing chaos in your body. And let’s not sugar-coat it (no pun intended)—diabetes is closely linked to obesity. Fix the weight, and you can often fix the diabetes.
What Does the Research Say? Glad you asked! Loads of research – including studies involving The 1:1 Diet Products and Plan, shows that weight loss can seriously improve diabetes outcomes. A study published in The Lancet in 2020 revealed that 61% of participants managed to put their diabetes into remission! And guess what? They also shed nearly 13kg on average.
