Type 2 diabetes (t2d) is a major epidemic of the developing world which has huge fiscal consequences and many physical complications. It is thought to be brought on in part by contemporary easy access to high energy foods and reduced physical activity, resulting in increased belly fat that culminates in growing insulin resistance and subsequent hyperglycemia. Because of ease and efficacy of medication management, t2d is primarily managed with ever-escalating medication use, which significantly contributes to medical cost and possibly the progression of the disease itself.
