The CDC’s latest data is a wake-up call: nearly 1 in 3 U.S. teens, about 8.4 million young people, are estimated to have prediabetes. This means millions of adolescents are already at risk for developing type 2 diabetes and other long-term health issues.
But here is the hopeful truth: prediabetes is reversible. With the right support, many teens can return their blood sugar levels to normal through healthy lifestyle changes. That is where communities, schools, and organizations have a critical role to play, and where ExoFit provides a solution.
The Challenge: Limited Access to Fitness
Modern teens face unique challenges: more screen time, fewer opportunities for physical activity, and environments that do not always encourage movement. Not every family can afford gym memberships, and not every teen feels comfortable in traditional fitness settings.
That lack of accessible options makes it harder for kids to build the habits that prevent chronic disease.
Why Movement Matters
Research shows that even 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week can make a meaningful impact on blood sugar control and overall health. Exercise does not just reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. It also boosts mental health, builds confidence, and helps teens stay engaged in school and life.
