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.
