Anyway, the approach to diseases is waaaay different between US and EU. We tend to treat as average more intervening on the lifestyle, whereas in the US the approach is more "pillstyle", that means people try to fix everything with a pill. As example: prediabetic: in the EU we just get a prescription form the doctor "do not sit too long on the couch, eat less calories, cut sugars and ulpraprocessed food, walk twice a day for more than 30 minutes" and in 90% of the cases the "prediabetic" is resolved to "zerodiabetic", conversely in the US you get drugs
It is a different combined approach, we try to prevent whereas you try more to cure
How often have you sought medical care in the US?
