Now that type 2 has gone beyond the level of mere concern for people with obesity and has crept into the everyday domain of people who at first glance seem fairly healthy, re education against this terrible affliction is a must. Type 2 diabetes is here in record numbers and is now an epidemic. Only a few decades ago, the statistics for people suffering from type 2 or adult onset diabetes was tiny, records vary but somewhere in the region of 1 in every 100000 seemed to be the general consensus. Fast forward a few decades and the numbers are a little insane to say the least, again records vary but somewhere in the region of 1 in 20 are either diagnosed type 2 diabetic or as of yet pre diabetic and unaware - this is a ridiculous jump in figures in such a short space of time and to add an even bigger slant on the above figures - THESE ARE JUST FOR THE U.S!
It is no exaggeration to say that this disease or metabolic disorder, depending on your angle, is probably the biggest growing health problem in the western world. I say western world because a lot of the poorer more under developed countries seem to be practically type 2 diabetic free. Hmm, maybe it has something to do with nutrient devoid junk food after all? Just a theory, one that is consistently crushed by the governing bodies that have the biggest media leverage over this disease. So, getting back to the original question, is there a cure for type 2 diabetes. Well, yes and no. It really is something that any individual suffering from type 2 diabetes, would do well to constantly remind themselves that they will never be cured completely but with proper education, diet, exercise and knowledge of foods to avoid at all cost, then there is no reason you can not go on to live a healthy and productive life, one that will likely be far more healthy than an individual who does not have type 2 diabetes. It all comes down to the right lifestyle choices.
