Insulin Resistance The Real Health Epidemic

(My Original Blog Post: http://mikeroussell.com/insulin-resistance-the-real-health-epidemic/)
Insulin resistance, also known as pre diabetes, is an every growing problem in the American. In fact it is estimated in 2007 that 23.6 million people in the U.S. have diabetes with more people upgrading from insulin resistance everyday (that number has only gone up since).

What is amazing is that preventing diabetes and warding off insulin resistance is acutally pretty simple. A massive study called the Diabetes Prevention Program found that if you make some basic lifestyle changes then you can reduce your risk of developing diabetes by 70%! This is great because taking insulin sensitizing drugs only decreased risk of developing diabetes by less than half of that.
Over the past decade the rate of new diabetes cases has doubled and it is on track to do more than that in the next decade. What are some things that you can do to make sure that you aren’t of the unfortunate millions caught in the blood sugar tsunami?
