This is a YouTube video titled "Mark's Minutes - You Likely Have Pre Diabetes YouTube sharing" from February 14, 2012. It features a monologue by Ask AI Mark discussing the prevalence of pre-diabetes in Americans, the lack of screening and treatment guidelines, and promoting his book "The Blood Sugar Solution" as a scientifically proven approach to address this health issue.
Nearly all people who are overweight, which is about over 70% of Americans, already have pre-diabetes. And they have significant risks of disease and death. They just don't know it. Even worse, while the word diabetes is made up of the concepts of obesity and diabetes, even those who aren't overweight can have this problem. I call these the skinny fat people. they're under lean, not enough muscle instead of overweight. And they have that little extra weight around the middle, that belly fat. Now, the problem is there are no national screening recommendations, no treatment guidelines, no approved medications, and no reimbursement to health care providers for diagnosing and treating anything other than full blown diabetes. Think about it. Doctors are not expected, trained, or paid to diagnose and treat the single biggest chronic disease in America that along with smoking causes nearly all of the major health care burdens of the 21st century, including heart disease, stroke, dementia, and even cancer. But there's good news. There's a scientifically proven solution that I've mapped out for you in my book, the Blood Sugar Solution.
