boy, it is a shocking statistic,0% of

om genpital. bng done,et wco d r a topic of much interest. >> i was shocked when i first heard that stat, one out of two. let's talk about what pre-diabetes is, and how did we get to this point? >> well, it is a true whopping statistic. it's estimated that 30 million plus individuals in this country have diabetes, and another 86 plus million have pre-diabetes. so that's about 10% of the population or more with diabetes diagnosed. and another 35 plus percent with pre-diabetes. many of those people don't know they have the condition because it can be asymptomatic for decades, leading to complications.

there was an important pivotal trial years ago that showed on the first day of diagnosis for many patients more than 50% of patients already have complications. that led us to look earlier and earlier, when can we first find this disease? what we found is there's a condition of pre-diabetes where individuals are not all the way to the point that they qualify for type 2 diabetes diagnostic criteria, but they do have an abnormal glucose metabolism and abnormal th abnormal chemistries. >> so if these balances in the body are abnormal, what is there that can be done to reverse it? >> as opposed to type 1 diabetes, which is a totally separate condition, and affects only about 5%, or accounts for only about 5% of the total number of people with diabetes, type 2 diabetes, the more common, is really associated with two main defects.

first, resistance to the action of a very important hormone called insulin. and secondly, as a more later stage, deficiency of that enzyme -- of that hormone. so when patients are resistant, they're not able to utilize their fuels properly, not able to take glucose, which is a fuel, and put it into the cell so the cell doesn't work well and the glucose accumulates in the body and patients have high blood sugars. the problem is, as i said, this is asymptomatic. so we need to get to the root of why it's happening, as you said. we know some of the reasons it's happening, and actually we've known for quite a while. we've known that conditions of sort of western living, that usually involve a more sedentary lifestyle and weight gain and excessive and perhaps the wrong intake of nutrient content really lead to insulin not working well in the body. >> so, of course, diet and exercise, real quickly running out of time.
