Right now, 1 in 3 children (born after 2000) are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes in their lifetime; a disease that can rob a child of up to 23 years of her life. One of the biggest factors in whether a child will experience life with or without diabetes, is family.
It is true that genetics play a significant role in the passing of diabetes from one generation to the next; however, being predisposed is not enough. A person’s lifestyle is the ultimate determining factor as to whether type 2 diabetes will be triggered or prevented.
In honor of Diabetes Awareness Month, we are hosting the Skinny Gene Strides for Prevention 5K run/walk to encourage family, fitness, and of course, fun.
The Skinny Gene Project is the only non-profit organization in San Diego County with a diabetes prevention program that is recognized by the CDC. Money raised from the race will be used to provide this prevention program to low-income, high-risk communities throughout San Diego County.
