*Diabetes Epidemic *
With obesity
levels being at an all time high, the epidemic
of type 2
diabetes is growing at an alarming rate, and will
only get
worse.
Between 2001
and 2002, the diagnosis of diabetes went from
5.5 percent
of Americans to an alarming 6.5 percent. In
just one
year!
Overall,
twelve million Americans have been diagnosed and
another 5
million Americans have diabetes and don’t know
it. And yet
another 12 millions are on their way to type 2
diabetes
because of impaired glucose levels.
Not knowing
is the worst because risks of untreated
diabetes
puts us at a terrible risk of complications
including
but not limited to blindness, amputations and
ultimately
death.
The stickler
is, that type 2 diabetes is almost completely
preventable.
Doctor’s say eat less, eat better and
exercise.
The numbers show just how many Americans are
currently
overweight.
Statistically,
people are now living longer, and it has
been on the
rise for years. But this will not continue if
type 2
diabetes is not put under control.
We are a
gluttonous society and ultimately it is affecting
how we live
and how long we live.
And
unfortunately, the diabetes epidemic is not just a US
problem. It
is spreading worldwide with epidemic reports in
Asia, the
Middle East and the Caribbean.
It is
estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics
worldwide
will rise to 380 million. And diabetes is now
affecting
more of the young and middle-aged population in
developing
countries between the ages of 40 and 59.
