Alabama state is devoting tons of money to Type 2 Diabetes research. However, the problem is already there. And with all those pre-diabetics, I&#x27;m not sure how the healthcare system will be able to function in few years time.<p>I think it&#x27;s in part a sociocultural issue. If your rent is low, you tend to avoid buying good food which is usually way more expensive and less satiating than cheap and simple carbohydrates.<p>Abusing soft drinks is also really problematic. These completely wreck your metabolism with their high concentrations of soluble syrups.
