THE FIRST BARRIER TO PREVENTION IS KNOWING

THE RISK
YOU CAN'T SEE.

01 / THE BLIND SPOT

An estimated 115.2 million U.S. adults have prediabetes. Many have no obvious symptoms. Awareness is where prevention can begin.

THE DATA IS REAL. THE DISPLAY IS ILLUSTRATIVE.

An estimated eight in ten adults with prediabetes are unaware. The visual highlights 80 of 100 markers to represent the estimated proportion.

FROM RISK TO POSSIBILITY

When you change the conditions, you may change the outcome. The landmark Diabetes Prevention Program offers evidence of what structured action can achieve in people at high risk.

A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT IS AT STAKE

DIABETES DOESN'T
STAY IN ONE
PLACE.

Diabetes can affect much more than glucose levels. Explore the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves and other systems, and learn why prevention, monitoring and care all matter.

THE CONNECTION

DIABETES CHANGES MORE THAN GLUCOSE.

Diabetes can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Blood pressure, cholesterol, activity, smoking, and glucose management all matter in understanding cardiovascular risk.

WHY IT MATTERS

Cardiovascular disease is an important reason to look beyond any one glucose reading.

THE NEXT STEP

Discuss cardiovascular risk factors and a personalized prevention or treatment plan with your healthcare team.

Some conditions are complications caused or worsened by diabetes; others are associated with diabetes or share risk factors. An association does not establish causation. Individual risks vary, and appropriate care can prevent or delay many complications.

LESS NOISE.

Our job isn't to tell you what to think. It's to make the evidence understandable enough that you can ask better questions.

A PATTERN IS A QUESTION, NOT A VERDICT.
01 / SEE THE FACT

What does
the data say?

We start with published findings, not viral certainty.

02 / FIND THE CONTEXT

Who does
it apply to?

We unpack populations, methods, limits and uncertainty.

03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP

What can
you do next?

We connect learning to sensible conversations and evidence-based resources.

07 / THE EVIDENCE OBSERVATORYTRACE THE CLAIM. READ THE STUDY. UNDERSTAND THE LIMIT.

EVERYTHING.

THE PROVENANCE STANDARD

We shouldn't ask you to trust a claim just because it sounds scientific. Every finding should be traceable, contextualized and open to correction.

Yes. Many adults with prediabetes do not know they have it.

ESTIMATED UNAWARE
01 / CONTEXT & LIMITATIONS

Prediabetes commonly has no clear symptoms. The CDC estimates that eight in ten U.S. adults with prediabetes are unaware of it.

02 / WHAT TO DO NEXT

If you have risk factors, ask a healthcare professional whether testing makes sense for you.
