nine percent of all people have type 2 diabetes in the United States and pretty much worldwide 11 have diabetes — um of type because type 1 is also included it's another one to two percent of the population
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
i'm guessing it's still about 10 of the u.s population has type 2 diabetes is that approximately correct or is it are we more than 10 now approximately with also the caveat of much more concerning levels in different minority populations which of course hopefully we'll get a chance to talk about later is just a huge goal with improving health equity in this country so if it's 10 in all comers do you have a sense of what it is in hispanic and african-american populations yeah it gets even higher it's well into the teens in those and pacific islanders as well
it gets even higher it's well into the teens in those and pacific islanders as well so these are populations that you know we need to be paying attention of course to everyone who has type 2 diabetes but we also need to be paying attention to who's at greater risk
