The stickler is, that type two diabetes is almost entirely preventable. Doctor's say consume less, eat better and workout. The numbers show just how many people in America are currently over weight.

Statistically, people are now living much longer, and it has been on the rise for years. But this won't carry on if type 2 diabetes isn't put under control.

We are now a gluttonous society and ultimately it is influencing the way we are living as well as how much time we live.

And sadly, the diabetes crisis just isn't a US problem. It is growing globally with epidemic reports in Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.

It is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics globally will surge to 380 million. And diabetes is now is actually impacting on more of the young and middle-aged inhabitants in developing countries between the ages of 40 and 59.
