How to Manage Type 2 Diabetes with Natural Support
Useful Products and Strategies from WellUp
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most pressing health concerns in the United States today. It’s estimated that over 37 million people live with diabetes and around 96 million have prediabetes, many of them undiagnosed or untreated. This not only impacts individual health but also weighs heavily on families and the U.S. healthcare system.
While medical treatment is essential, many people also look for natural alternatives and supportive products that can help improve glucose control, boost overall well-being, and prevent complications. At WellUp, we believe that combining reliable monitoring tools, healthy lifestyle habits, and supportive products can make a real difference in the everyday lives of those managing diabetes.
The Current State of Type 2 Diabetes
- High prevalence: More than 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. live with type 2 diabetes.
- Key risk factors: Obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and diets high in refined sugars are major contributors.
- Associated complications: Cardiovascular issues, kidney damage, neuropathy, and vision loss.
- Economic burden: Annual costs related to diabetes exceed $300 billion.
This highlights the urgent need for not only medical solutions but also proactive self-care strategies.
