One in three children born in the year 2000 will develop type 2 adult onset diabetes. 1 in 3. I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake folks up to this epidemic – news like this is occurring on a weekly basis and yet we see nothing in terms of a concerted response to the problem. As one who suffers from this I can tell you while it’s not the end of the world, it is the end of the pizza and pasta, and it’s no cakewalk. Spread the word, get people off their asses and off their high-carb doritio and McDonalds french fry diets.

Of course on the positive side, since an ever-increasing number of folks are suffering from this, there’s hope that increased funding and research will lead to a cure for me. Got to look for the positives after all 😉
