Why San Antonio needs a diabetes-first meal plan

San Antonio has one of the highest diabetes rates in the US, tied directly to multi-generational Tex-Mex eating: flour tortillas, white rice, refried beans with lard, and weekend pan dulce. The food tradition is deeply cultural and worth preserving — but the portion structure and tortilla type can be retuned. Our San Antonio plans keep Sunday barbacoa and puffy tacos, swap flour for corn tortillas on weekdays, and bring frijoles de la olla (no-lard pintos) back to weekly rotation.

State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~14%. Bexar County T2D prevalence is among the highest in Texas (~14%); San Antonio's majority-Hispanic population shows well-documented elevated risk.India is home to approximately 101 million adults living with Type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — one of the world's largest at-risk populations.
