Diabetes is a great example. Worldwide there are 415 million people with the disease. In the United States, the figure is roughly 34 million—just over 1 in 10. Another 88 million American adults have prediabetic and cardiometabolic risk. If trauma has altered the CRNs (see Figure 2), there will be pervasive regulation problems, including regulation of blood sugar and insulin release. Both the risk for diabetes and the management of diabetes are related to a history of adversity.
