New Year's resolutions reveal a lot about people's personality. Blake Shelton says he wants to become a better gardener in 2023. Conan O'Brien says he's wished to gain a lot of abdominal weight -- so he won't be disappointed in himself. And Kathy Griffith once resolved to "offend more people than I did this year."

Whatever you vowed on New Year's Eve, one thing is true: No matter what the calendar says, it's never too late to resolve to make positive, life-enhancing changes.

That's what I told Barbara Walters back in 1999 when I appeared on "20/20." I said, "It's only too late when they start to lower you six feet under."

During the beginning of 2023, I can't think of any resolution that's more important than having your family help reverse the flood of adolescent Type 2 diabetes that's headed our way.

A new study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that by 2060, 220,000 kids under age 20 — that's eight times as many as today — could have Type 2 diabetes, and be facing its life-shortening health challenges.

Make a resolution to help your children (and their children) avoid premature heart, kidney, and nerve disease. How can you do that?

• Build a strong social network that offers your kids emotional stability. And instill in kids a commitment to helping others and finding fulfillment in daily activities.

• Encourage quality nutrition that focuses on a plant-based, minimally processed diet, as well as 300 minutes of physical activity each week.
