Although we have a substantial knowledge of how to treat all types of diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one million new cases of diabetes type 2 are diagnosed each year. So, what is wrong? Why all these new cases are taking place if we know how prevent prediabetic symptoms from becoming full-blown diabetes? Several reasons.

As the U.S. population is steadily becoming more obese, the incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing as well. Family history may play a part, but obesity is being found to be the most common factor among people with type 2 diabetes. In fact, up to 90 percent of all diabetes cases are type 2 and 75 percent of those are found in people who are overweight. People with excess fat in the abdominal area are the most vulnerable to the disease.

Preventing diabetes type 2 can be relatively easy in about 90 percent of cases. Curing the disease is a different story because although science is making advances in discovering medications that help control blood sugar levels, those medicines have serious side effects and eventually there is a price to be paid for relying too much on treatment and failing to prevent.

Every country is trying to combat with COVID-19 according to its resources.

Along with these efforts, they are also observing the conditions of other countries to improvise their policies.
