    Remember something like 6% of US adults have optimal metabolic health… that is 94% with some level of metabolic dysregulation.

    • India is the world leader - 212 million 26%
    • China is a distant second - 148 million 18%
    • USA is lagging behind at third - 42 million 5%

    If you dig into the paper, the untreated diabetes rate is heartbreaking. This is why metabolic diseases are the number 1 burden and cost of healthcare globally. Almost a billion people have diabetes globally. 1/8 : 12.5%

    Why do India and China have such huge rates of diabetes? Remember that obesity and diabetes are different, people can be diabetic but not look very obese.
