That is very true Jeson and it is usually put down to lifestyle and poor diet. I do not know of one government in a developed country that is not concerned about what they see as an epidemic of people who will be burdening health services with the many problems that surround diabetes in years to come. Being overweight seems to be an almost unavoidable trigger fro diabetes and as I am overweight it is something I do worry about. Even the tablet taking diabetics face a future that can be full of associated health problems.
