Diabetes battle 'being lost' as cases hit record 382 million

 

Ben Hirschler Reuters Stoyan Nenov / Reuters  published November 14, 2013 (Dr. Huntoon’s comments and recommendations are in black bold throughout the article)

LONDON - The world is losing the battle against diabetes as the number of people estimated to be living with the disease soars to a new record of 382 million this year, medical experts said on Thursday.

 

The vast majority have type 2 diabetes - the kind linked to obesity and lack of exercise - and the epidemic is spreading as more people in the developing world adopt Western, urban lifestyles. (The answer is given right there!!  I guess we should look at that life-style and perhaps change it, don’t you think?)

The latest estimate from the International Diabetes Federation is equivalent to a global prevalence rate of 8.4 percent of the adult population (382 million) and compares to 371 million cases in 2012 or an increase by 11 million more cases).

By 2035, the organization predicts the number of cases will have soared by 55 percent to 592 million.

 

"The battle to protect people from diabetes and its disabling, life-threatening complications is being lost," the federation said in the sixth edition of its Diabetes Atlas, noting that deaths from the disease were now running at 5.1 million a year - one every six seconds. (So what is being done to address this obviously serious problem?)

People with diabetes have inadequate blood sugar control, which can lead to a range of dangerous complications, including damage to the eyes, kidneys and heart. If left untreated, it can result in premature death. (the word “untreated” used here means not taking medication.  It does nothing to addressing the cause of the problem.  Treatment means taking medication for the rest of your life.  Again, not solving the issue, simply masking the problem with medication)

 

"Year after year, the figures seem to be getting worse," said David Whiting, an epidemiologist and public health specialist at the federation. "All around the world we are seeing increasing numbers of people developing diabetes." (And yet they are still looking to “treat” the condition with medication instead of addressing the underlying dietary concerns created by producing too much C.R.A.P. food, meaning Completely Refined And Processed food.  No one is being told how to address the nutrition in the world because there is a reason why they are creating all of these conditions.  Appreciate that taking Stain medication has as a side effect the development of type 2 Diabetes.  And they just came out with new guidelines that are essentially going to double the amount of people taking that medication with type 2 diabetes as a side effect.  Great solution, right?)

 

He said that a strategy involving all parts of society was needed to improve diets and promote healthier lifestyles. (Finally, someone who sees the problem clearly.  Will the problem really be addressed?  OR will they continue to monetize the so called solutions that have increased treatments as a result?) 

 

 

The federation calculates diabetes already accounts for annual health care spending of $548 billion and this is likely to rise to $627 billion by 2035. (So if that is the amount of money the companies who benefit from the “treatment” of this condition, what is their incentive to put themselves out of business by truly solving the problem?)

Worryingly, an estimated 175 million of diabetes cases are as yet undiagnosed, (ALL the more reason to have people come to a screening…so they can be “treated” for the condition and drive the profits from this condition to the predicted levels, if not higher) so a huge number of people are progressing toward complications unawares. Most of them live in low- and middle-income countries with far less access to medical care than in the United States and Europe.

The country with the most diabetics overall is China, where the case load is expected to rise to 142.7 million in 2035 from 98.4 million at present.

But the highest prevalence rates are to be found in the Western Pacific, where more than a third of adults in Tokelau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands already are living with the disease.

 

Pharmaceutical companies have developed a range of medicines over the years to counter diabetes but many patients still struggle to control their condition adequately, leading to a continuing hunt for improved treatments. (Not solutions, BUT life-time treatments that result in other conditions.  Isn’t this great!!)

Novo Nordisk, Sanofi and Eli Lilly are all major suppliers of insulin and other diabetes therapies.

If you have Type 2 Diabetes or are headed in that direction, I have a solution for you.  It is not a life-time treatment.  It is a solution to your concern.  Please call the office at 845-561-BACK (2225) and arrange for a dietary consult so we can address the underlying blood sugar problem and restore your body back to balance….without all the treatment and medications and side-effects.  I look forward to serving you.

Your Choice

Health concerns are a major source of lost happiness and lost joy in all of our lives. Finding a solution that is agreeable and enables you to get back to your life is important. Please appreciate that you always have the more invasive surgery and prescription medication available to you as a last resort. What many Traditional Medical Doctors may not share is, many times, once you begin that journey into medication and/or surgery, it alters your original body from the one that you were born with. Unfortunately, at that time, more conservative and natural treatments may no longer be viable. I encourage you to consider that before making any decisions about treatment for your health. As always I am here to help. 
 
Your Choice:
 
  • Continue doing the same thing and nothing changes or it may get worse

OR

  • Try something different and get a different result that makes you happier and healthier.
 
The Choice is Yours
