 Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects 55% of people in California. Type 2 diabetes can be regulated or even reversed with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated diabetes can lead to many severe complications including heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure just to name a few. Diabetes can also cause kidney damage, eye damage, and cause slow healing of cuts which can lead to infections and in some case amputations. 61% of people report fatigue as a symptom of diabetes which can slow a person down and cause them to not be as effective as they would like to be. For instance, if a parent is diabetic they may not have as much energy to play with their kids after a long day of work. Or even at work, if a person feeling fatigued, may cause them to call in sick this can begin to affect one's financial status. Having type 2 diabetes can have a snowball effect on one's life. Type 2 diabetes can damage the quality of life, and have negative effects on personal life, family, and even the community. Here in the Imperial Valley, the number of people who are prediabetic or diabetic is even higher. 62% of the community is living with or at risk of this chronic disease. This disease is something that can be fixed yet, there are two-thirds of the Imperial Counties population affected by it. As a community, we need to take this very seriously and find a solution.
