Hopium Health isn’t just about controlling blood sugar. It’s about understanding the intricate connections between sugar, inflammation, stress, sleep, and overall health. Consider this:
- In 2024, 38.4 million Americans lived with diabetes. That’s roughly 11.5% of the population.
- An astonishing 97.6 million Americans over 18 have prediabetes.
- Every year, another 1.2 million people receive the diabetes diagnosis.
- Nearly 30% of adults age 65+ are diabetic. Even more unsettling, over 97 million adults are prediabetic.
Unchecked, diabetes doesn’t stop at just elevated blood sugars. It paves the way for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, increased cancer risks, and even higher vulnerability to viruses like COVID-19. Diabetes is the grim gift that keeps on giving, leaving the door wide open for more chronic conditions.
But fear not! Hopium Health believes deeply in empowerment, humor, community, and knowledge as powerful antidotes. We’re on a mission—not merely to educate, but to inspire real hope, real solutions, and real results.
