Why San Diego needs a diabetes-first meal plan

San Diego has a quietly huge advantage — year-round outdoor activity, fresh Pacific seafood, and a Baja-influenced food culture that already centers fish, ceviche, and grilled meats. The glucose traps are specific: the California burrito (french fries inside a flour tortilla), carne asada fries, and agua frescas loaded with sugar. Our San Diego plans keep fish tacos central and rebuild just the problem items.

State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~9.8%. San Diego County T2D rate sits below the California average (~10%); active outdoor lifestyle and access to fresh produce help, but border-region Hispanic communities remain at 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.
