Living with Type 2 Diabetes or Insulin Resistance is a Journey

Fighting Type 2 was founded in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as we saw the disparities in health within our population that were causing such varied reactions to the virus. Specifically, those with undiagnosed and untreated diabetes were experiencing much worse outcomes than others without a history of diabetes or insulin resistance. While, we have seen this in other instances, such as heart disease, wound healing, pregnancy, etc., the disparities were much more pronounced during the pandemic. This spurred the question, “What resources do people have, outside of their doctors’ offices, for learning about and understanding type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance?” This is the gap we build our content to fill and we are thankful you are joining us on this journey.
