PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Obstetrics, 26e AB - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2020), nearly 27 million adults in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes. Another 7.3 million are suspected to be undiagnosed, and an estimated 88 million have prediabetes. Reasons for these substantial rates include an aging population, which is more likely to develop type 2 diabetes; population growth within minority groups at particular risk for type 2 diabetes; and a dramatic rise in obesity rates. In 2019, almost three in 10 women were considered obese prior to becoming pregnant (Driscoll, 2020). The strong relationship between diabetes and the current obesity epidemic in the United States underlines the critical need for diet and lifestyle interventions to change the trajectory of both.
