Diabetes is Rising Fast — Here's What You Should Know

Did you know that 1 in 9 adults worldwide is now living with diabetes? That’s nearly 589 million people — and experts project it could reach 853 million by 2050. In the U.S. alone, over 38 million Americans have diabetes, and more than 97 million are living with prediabetes — often without even knowing it.

At Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Wellness Center, we understand how overwhelming this can feel. Many of our patients come to us after years of struggling with weight, blood sugar control, and a system that rarely looks at the whole person.

But there is hope — and it starts with understanding your metabolic health.

🧬 Why the rise?
Diabetes isn't just about sugar — it's driven by multiple factors like:
✔️ Insulin resistance
✔️ Weight gain and visceral fat
✔️ Sedentary lifestyle
✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Genetics and aging

🚨 What’s even more alarming?
➡️ 60% of adults with diabetes worldwide are not receiving treatment
➡️ Over 250 million people don’t even know they have it
➡️ Diabetes is now a leading cause of kidney failure, vision loss, amputations, and heart disease

💡 What we do differently at Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Wellness Center:
We take a science-backed, individualized path that includes:

🧠 Behavioral & nutritional counseling
💊 Medication (when needed)
💪 Fitness/Physical Activity
🧪 Body composition & metabolic testing
💉 Advanced services like GLP-1 medication management, joint injections, and more

🌟 Whether you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes, are concerned about your risk, or just want to feel better in your own body — we're here to help you take control.

No matter where you’re starting from — we’ll meet you there.

When it comes to metabolic health and weight management, sugar plays a big role — but not all sugars are the same.

🔹 Natural Sugars
Found in whole fruits (fructose) and dairy (lactose), these sugars come packaged with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Because they’re absorbed more slowly, they don’t spike blood sugar as sharply.
✅ Best choices: whole fruits, plain yogurt, milk

🔹 Added Sugars
These are sugars added during processing or preparation — like in soda, candy, and even flavored yogurts. They provide calories with little to no nutrition and contribute to insulin resistance, weight gain, and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
❌ Watch for: sucrose, corn syrup

🔹 Artificial & Non-Nutritive Sweeteners
Examples include aspartame, sucralose, and stevia. These have little or no calories and don’t raise blood sugar, but research is ongoing about their long-term effects on metabolism and gut health.
⚠️ Use cautiously: while they may help reduce sugar intake, they can still trigger cravings and influence insulin response in some people.

📊 Fast Facts:

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 24g/day (6 tsp) of added sugar for women, and 36g/day (9 tsp) for men.

Average U.S. adult intake? Over 77g/day — triple the recommended amount.

High intake of added sugar is linked to higher body fat, fatty liver, insulin resistance, and heart disease.

👩‍⚕️ How We Can Help
At Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Wellness Center, we help you understand the impact of sugar on your body and create a personalized plan that fits your life. Whether you need nutritional counseling, help with cravings, medical support for insulin resistance and weight management, or just want to live a healthier life — our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Oats: Old fashioned oats provide a good source of complex carbohydrates that have plenty of fiber and protein.
Substitutes: Steel cut oats, quick oats.
Serving size- 1/2 cup regular oats.

Milk: A low-fat milk is recommended. This will contain adequate amounts of protein, calcium and vitamin D.
Substitutes: Oat milk or soy milk is preferred if using a plant-based option (more protein), but you can use an almond milk. A skim milk can also be used.
Serving size - 1 cup 1% milk

Protein Powders: This is optional, but can boost the protein level of the meal. Using a powdered peanut butter like PBfit is a good way to increase the protein level of the meal and add that great peanut butter taste. This is also more cost effective than regular protein powder.
Substitutes: Regular protein powder of preferred flavor, ~½ scoop.
Serving size - 2 tbsp PB Fit

Nuts/Seeds: We recommend adding chia seeds as a way to increase protein and fiber content of the meal.
Substitutes: Walnuts (High in Omega-3), pecans, flax seeds, Pumpkin seeds.
Serving size - 1 tbsp chia seeds

Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are a great way to improve flavor as well as increase fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant levels.
Substitutes: Banana, apple, strawberries, peaches.
Serving size - ½ cup (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)

Calories (as prepared): 428
Macronutrients: (as prepared): 24g protein, 61g carbs, 12g fat
Fiber: 16g
Sodium: 200mg

Power Nutrients of this Meal:
Fiber: Aids with digestion, helps regulate blood sugar, will satiate you for a longer period and soluble fiber, found in oats, can reduce LDL cholesterol.

Protein: The building blocks of our bodies. Protein also has the ability to satiate you longer than other macronutrients, so it is important to get adequate amount of protein at each meal. Protein is also important for muscle building and muscle retention, especially while in a calorie deficit.
