YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Colorado is one of the least diabetic states, but social determinants of health can leave some communities still struggling with the disease.

RELATEDSigns and symptoms of diabetes, explained

Colorado promotes an outdoor lifestyle, invests in parks and trails and boasts of 300 days of sunshine every year. Known for its young and fit population, Colorado has the nation’s lowest diabetes rate, 8.1% as of 2022.

But there are two Colorados. In one, hiking and biking trails are filled with fitness aficionados, and white-collar employers offer financial incentives for workers to stay healthy. In the other, residents don’t have the time, means, or resources to access open space, farmer’s markets, or health clinics.
