Type 2 figs for you

I was at a Diabetes Research Conference the other day and they gave projected figures for Type 2 diabetics which makes scary reading.
Europe in 2000 around 48 million ~ in 2025 nearly 60 million
North America in 2000 25 million ~ 2025 nearly 40 million
SE Asia in 2000 nearly 40 million ~ in 2025 over 80 million
Western Pacific in 2000 40 million ~ in 2025 over 75 million
In total including other areas, the projected numbers are over 300 million diagnosed with the disease. Remember this is JUST Type 2!
No pun intended but does that give food for thought?
