With obesity levels being at an all time high, the crisis
of type 2 diabetes is rising at a worrying rate, and will
only worsen.

Between 2001 and 2002, the diagnosis of diabetes went from
5.5 per cent of Americans to an alarming 6.5 per cent. In
just one year!

In general, 12 million People in america have been diagnosed and
an additional 5 million Americans have diabetes and don't know
it. And another 12 millions are on their way to type 2
diabetes due to impaired glucose levels.

Not knowing is the most unfortunate simply because dangers of untreated
diabetes puts us at a terrible risk of additional complications
including but not limited to blindness, amputations and
eventually death.

The stickler is, that type 2 diabetes is almost totally
preventable. Medical practitioners say eat a smaller amount, eat healthier and
workout. The statistics show just how many Americans are
presently overweight.

Statistically, people are now living longer, and it has
been going up for decades. But this will not likely go on if
type 2 diabetes is not put in order.

We've been a greedy culture and ultimately it is impacting on
how we live and how many years we live.

And sad to say, the diabetes crisis is not only an US
problem. It is growing around the world with epidemic records in
Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.

It is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics
throughout the world 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.
