PREVENTION IS KING: LIFESTYLE SUPPORT REVERSES PREDIABETES

Diabetes screening is now recommended for everyone 35 and older, even if no
symptoms are present. The screening age was reduced because alerting individuals
to their elevated blood sugar gives them the opportunity to reverse course.
Also, a lower screening age is necessary to stem the rising prevalence of type 2
diabetes. These efforts are expected to help a lot of individuals adjust their
lifestyles. A lot of individuals are prediabetic and unaware of their condition.
More than 80% of all prediabetic adults are unaware their blood sugar is
elevated. 

It’s long been appreciated that without changing one’s lifestyle, prediabetes
progresses to diabetes. Some of the latest prevalence studies confirm that
awareness campaigns are important. This is because diabetes occurs in one in
eight adults and prediabetes occurs in three in eight adults. To avoid diabetic
complications in the future now is more important than ever to understand blood
sugar management. 


EARLY PREVENTION FOR THE WIN

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. As diabetic healthcare costs
increase, a call to action for preventive support is only getting louder. Health
insurance claims reveal that compared to non-diabetics; diabetics have higher
healthcare costs. Research shows those with diabetes spend about 2.4 times more
on medical bills and 4.5 times more in pharmacy costs each year. This evidence
is based on an analysis of half a million employer insurance claims.
Furthermore, higher absenteeism and presenteeism occur for diabetic individuals,
understandably. With the cost of care rising by 20% year over year, employers
are grappling with how to make prevention support more widely available to their
employees. 

Reducing the rise in diabetes diagnoses is urgent, especially given how common
poor blood sugar is at younger ages. For instance, prediabetes affects more than
1 in 5 adolescents (12-18 years of age) and 1 in 4 young adults (19-34 years of
age) in the US. These stats warn of future diabetes-based conditions. In a
recent study, physicians explain that “patients need to control blood sugar
early to prevent complications,” Yang says. “When there is enough damage, it
might be too late to reverse course.” 


LIFESTYLE SUPPORT IS SCALABLE AND EFFECTIVE

New research adds to mounting evidence that healthy habits can prevent diabetes
progression and cost far less than treatment for diabetes. More recently,
Diabetes Prevention Programs outcomes also show impressive benefits. Prediabetic
individuals successfully improved their blood sugar with the help of content on
healthy habit formation. They also improved blood sugars by learning about
healthier eating choices and more physical activity. In addition to reversing
their blood sugar trends, participants reduced their body weight and improved
their blood lipids. As a population-level intervention, this underscores the
impact of making the right resources available in a timely manner for all
individuals who want to adjust their lifestyle habits.  


PUBLIC HEALTH AND WORKPLACE WELLNESS

The study’s findings have far-reaching implications for public health strategies
aimed at addressing the global surge in type 2 diabetes and related
complications. But in addition, access to lifestyle support may extend benefits
beyond diabetes prevention, potentially impacting other non-communicable
conditions. The reason is because poor blood sugar regulation accelerates the
progression of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Employee
wellbeing can also be indirectly boosted through lifestyle support, because
improving diet and activity habits improves mood and reduces depression risk. 

In summary, early detection and lifestyle interventions not only hold the key to
preventing diabetes but also offer a pathway towards better overall health and
well-being, making them vital components of public health and workplace wellness
initiatives. Here at Treo, we are excited to offer the most customizable healthy
lifestyle-building platform available. Through honoring personal preferences and
interests, we support the process of behavior change, we are dedicated
to empowering individuals to take charge of their health and prevent chronic
conditions like diabetes. Join us in our mission to create a healthier, happier
future for all.
