I. Spotlight: AI Revolution In Diabetes Care: How Technology Is Beating This Silent Killer💉

Invisible and deceptive, this health condition is a silent killer affecting millions worldwide. For many, it begins as a growing fatigue, with a persistent weight gain leading to a fog gradually enveloping the mind.

Before people realize it, insulin resistance culminates in diseases like diabetes. This disruption of the body's glucose balance spirals into serious health complications, such as kidney failure, heart attack and stroke.

Today, insulin resistance affects up to 46.5% of adults worldwide. Traditional treatment options for diabetes are neither convenient nor fully effective. Artificial intelligence is transforming the management of insulin resistance with innovative monitoring and groundbreaking treatment options.

Insulin Resistance And Its Costly Toll

Insulin is a crucial hormone that helps our body turn the food we eat into energy and controls our blood sugar levels. When the body’s cells start resisting insulin, it triggers disastrous consequences.

The body's inability to regulate blood sugar leads to a condition called Type 2 Diabetes, the most common type of diabetes — fetching insulin resistance, the name pre-diabetes. Reports suggest global diabetes cases could skyrocket from 529 million to a staggering 1.3 billion by 2050. In the US, over 37 million individuals, or 11% of the population, suffer from diabetes.

The toll isn't just physiological; it's financial, too. Diabetes has earned the unfortunate distinction of being the U.S.'s most costly chronic condition. A quarter of all U.S. healthcare expenses—totaling $237 billion annually—is dedicated to diabetes care.
