Now this is interesting. Once again, more coverage of the rising incidence of diabetes. What surprised me in this story is that the deaths from complications related to diabetes have exceeded those from complications related to AIDS, yet which disease has a higher profile? Not to take anything away from AIDS activists – clearly they’ve been very effective at raising public awareness about the disease. But equally clear is the fact that the diabetes folks should be paying attention to how they’ve been so successful and working to get the word out. Consider my small observations my contribution to the cause 😉
