Diabetes � Not Me!
That�s what my sister said. She�d been to the doctor. Her blood sugar was OK he said. She wrote off her sluggishness, and blurring vision to getting older. We now suspect that our father died of kidney failure, the result of untreated diabetes. She had many of the warning signs and didn�t recognize it. That�s not surprising. 50% of diabetes cases go undetected.
Currently at least 17 million Americans have the disease and the numbers are growing at an alarming rate. In the past decade diagnoses has grown 61%, 76% in the 30-something population. An additional 16 million are �prediabetic� (like my sister), that is blood sugar levels above normal but not yet a full blown diabetic. Some researchers have predicted a 40% increase in those numbers by 2020.
That should get our attention. Why doesn�t it? Diabetes doesn�t seem to have the same negative impact on people as cancer or other major health risks. We know people with diabetes and they seem to be OK. It can�t be all that bad, right?
Wrong! Diabetes will find 800,000 new patients this year. The serious complications of diabetes, kidney failure, heart attack and stroke, will claim many lives and many others will suffer with blindness and limb amputations.
Type II, adult-onset diabetes, is the most prevalent form of the disease. Mostly diagnosed in adults, it can begin in overweight children. The body manufactures enough insulin but the cells don�t absorb it to utilize the sugar. The result is similar to having no insulin; glucose accumulates in the blood and is excreted in the urine. The good news is this type of diabetes can often be prevented and even reversed by appropriate lifestyle changes of diet and exercise, when diagnosed early.
