World Faces a “Devastating” Diabetes Epidemic
The world faces a devastating diabetes epidemic, with the annual death toll already exceeding the three million killed by AIDS and set to rise, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.
Issuing an alarm, the WHO and the International Diabetes Foundation said the number of sufferers worldwide would more than double to 366 million by 2030, from some 171 million at present.
Some 3.2 million people died in 2000 of ailments brought on by diabetes such as cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. 2000 is the latest year for which figures were available.
“The burden of premature death from diabetes is similar to that of HIV/AIDS, yet the problem is largely unrecognized,” the two organizations said in a statement. AIDS killed three million people in 2000.
But most sufferers have type 2, which some 58 percent of the time is triggered by being overweight, combined with a lack of exercise, the WHO and the Foundation said.
Blood sugar levels readings below 110 milligrams per deciliter, which were once been measured by the “impaired fasting glucose” test, have since been changed. The new guidelines reflected that only readings below 100 milligrams were considered normal and anyone with a fasting glucose between 100 and 125 milligrams now fell under the category of pre-diabetic.
The number of people who have pre-diabetes has more than doubled since two years ago.

Dr. Keith and Laurie Nemec’s Comments:
With over 20% (1 in 5) of the American population having either diabetes or prediabetes it is time to make changes.
This epidemic of diabetes and prediabetes can be linked to the following:
Poor Diet – a diet that is high in cooked starches and sugars over stimulates the pancreas which eventually can lead to diabetes, one of the top 5 leading causes of death directly and indirectly leading to heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation. The answer can be found in eating foods in their natural living/raw state. Foods that are not cooked do not throw the blood sugar out of balance and do not stress the pancreas (except man-made fruit which has been hybrid for sweetness, this is why an apple today is up to 50 times sweeter than one a hundred years ago).
Overweight/obesity - according to all diabetes experts the number one stress factor in the formation of diabetes is being overweight. The answer is again eat foods in the uncooked living/raw state and they do not add empty calories and pounds. People who eat a diet of sprouts, seeds, nuts, legumes, vegetables and avocados never ever have a weight problem. The extra weight all comes off reducing the strain on the pancreas and greatly decreasing the risk of diabetes.
Lack of Exercise - Also exercise is a must to keep blood sugar under control, this can be in the form of walking, running, cycling, swimming but by far the best exercise anywhere is rebounding. I recommend rebounding cellular exercise because it is more efficient than running with no stress to the joints.
Rebounding is 68% more efficient than jogging (as noted by NASA in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology).
