Diabetes 'Revolution' is Cutting Both Ways

Congrats, fatso.

"'The prevalence of diabetes is going up because obesity is going up...'"

And you've bankrupted us because you are bankrupt of self-control.

"But the soaring rate of people with diabetes threatens to overwhelm health systems and undermine economies, health specialists say..."

All for food:

"'I said, 'I cannot continue like this.' I would be sometimes very depressed, say, 'The heck with it, I'm going to have a cheesecake,' she says. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 240 pounds. She took daily insulin shots to control her blood sugar."

Wrong conclusion:

"The 'amount of money it will cost in 10 years to manage diabetes is going to bust the economies' of many countries, says institute president Paul Robertson. 'Governments need to jump in and understand, if they don't help, you can pay us now, or pay us later.'"

Right conclusion: don't pay a single penny. Then the problem will begin to correct itself.
