Prediabetes
Prediabetes is the intermediate stage between healthy blood glucose levels and diabetes. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Weight loss induced by lifestyle intervention is the primary treatment and is very effective.

Type 2 Diabetes
18 shared supplements ¡ 868 outcomes
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease in which blood glucose levels are too high. It is characterized by insulin resistance in muscle, fat, and pancreas cells and an inability of the pancreas to manufacture enough insulin to control blood glucose levels. T2D is strongly associated with excess body fat, and weight loss induced by lifestyle changes is extremely effective for treating T2D.
Metabolic Syndrome
14 shared supplements ¡ 391 outcomes
Metabolic syndrome refers to a group of cardiometabolic risk factors: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, high blood triglycerides, and low HDL-C. If a person has at least three of these, they have metabolic syndrome.

Overweight
13 shared supplements ¡ 379 outcomes
Overweight is characterized as having a body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 29.9. Having overweight is associated with increased risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease. However, this may not be the case in people with increased lean mass (e.g., athletes or weight lifters).
Obesity
11 shared supplements ¡ 525 outcomes
Obesity is a condition of excessive body fat that increases the risk for other conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Fat is how the body stores extra calories that were eaten but not used. Obesity treatment usually involves restricting the calories eaten or creating a negative calorie balance.
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
10 shared supplements ¡ 221 outcomes
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition in which excessive fat (more than 5% of liver weight) accumulates in the liver due to causes unrelated to alcohol.
High Blood Pressure
10 shared supplements ¡ 393 outcomes
High blood pressure is when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. High blood pressure is often caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, although it can result from other medical conditions as well.
