For the larger epidemic of type 2 diabetes, we're failing right now, Califf said. I don't say that lightly. Califf cited America's ruinously high consumption of sugar and the food industry's poor labeling policies.
Even the vast majority of digital tools routinely prescribed for people with diabetes fail to help people manage the disease... analyses that have been done are not showing that they're delivering on the promises. A big part of this [the solution] is going to have to be digital health tools.
A safe, effective and cheap solution to the type 2 diabetes epidemic already exists. Type 2 diabetes, the condition of insulin resistance which afflicts 95% of people with diabetes, is reversible.
