To explain: The reason that today’s parents have a harder time feeding their children nutritious meals and providing an exercise program than did parents of previous generations and what can be done to solve this problem.
Introduction: Diabetes is a serious hormonal disease. In this condition, the body cells are unable to absorb glucose from the blood, either because there is not enough insulin in the blood (type 1 diabetes) or the target cells are not responding to insulin (type 2 diabetes). The treatment for diabetes is available but there is no cure. Type 1 diabetes patients require regular injection of insulin, and type 2 diabetes is associated with overweight and under activity. By controlling sugar intake and exercising and dieting to reduce weight, type 2 diabetes can be managed without medications. Despite the available treatment, every year people die from diabetes or its complications, which include dehydration, cardiovascular and kidney disease, and nerve damage.
To explain: The reason for diabetes is more common in low-income populations than in wealthy populations.

- uanita, a 42-year-old woman with no significant medical history, has just finished her annual medical appointment. Her doctor told her that her hemoglobin A1c is slightly elevated, putting her in the range for prediabetes.

They said I have pre-diabetes since my glucose level was 188 mg/dl. They told me that's the first step towards diabetes and that, if I didn't make some serious changes, I would end up just like my mom. I am not sure why but, it made me nervous.’ (Judy takes a deep breath and then tells the nutritionist) “So, I guess we both need to change some things when it comes to eating and exercising.
