I wonder how poverty or education correlates with this map? Also, why don’t we see diabetes commercials like we did with tobacco?

I wonder why obesity and diabetes are more prevalent in the South.

Having lived in both VT and Minnesota, there’s a baked in health consciousness to the cultures. I’m from NJ originally, and never felt the will to keep in shape until moving to colder climates. I think it does something to your nervous system that compels you to stay healthy. Like I know once it gets cold, I’m going to have to get my ass outside and potentially shovel up to 2 ft of snow. I don’t want to be unhealthy and perform that task.
Wisconsinites I think have the same mentality of Minnesotans, they just drink like 10x as much.

Shape up New Brunswick! Run an extra lap, until you’re a soothing blue!

This seems off for Manitoba. One source I found lists the percentage of adults with diabetes as being 11.12%. And the national prevalence as 9.4%. Source: https://health-infobase.canada.ca/diabetes/

Manitoba surprises me. Rest of Canada checks out. (BC and Alberta have an outdoorsy culture so I imagine less Type 2 just due to more exercise.)

You’d think someone would see how much winning Minnesota does in nearly every single metric and they’d try to figure out how to duplicate it. But that’s not the country we live in.
Interestingly enough we have a massive Scandinavian population, and our metrics line up a lot with Norway and Sweden, too.

Manitoba is dark blue? The Diabetes Capital of Canada?

Drove from NY to Colorado once, and the obesity difference when driving and stopping through the south-midwestern states was absolutely staggering.

Type 2 diabetes***
There is a massive difference in type 1 and 2.

Is this map purely t2 or does it include t1 like myself also? As a whole, we only make up 0.03% of the US population.

Food pyramid, corn subsidies driving creation of more high fructose corn syrup, and income disparity…

As someone who grew up in (very health conscious) Vancouver, visiting the southern US was a genuine culture shock.
