Diabetes – The Number Three Cause Of Death In The U.S.A. Facts to Consider
Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Donald Duck in Disneyland
First of all it should be pointed out that Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases with the common characteristic of high blood sugar levels. You should also| know that diabetes happens when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or in the case that the insulin that is produced in the pancreas cannot work adequately. The truth is that when diabetes is not controlled in a proper way, it can cause serious complications and premature death.
All the time health professional are asked about individuals[ coming in to have routine health checks just to learn to their surprise they have Type I or II diabetes. For example| thirty year old John was admitted for sores all over his body for simply walking all day at Disneyland with his family and then he was told he had acute diabetes and needed to be in a wheelchair.
The point is that nowadays with continued rise in the number of people diabetes in the United States is alarming. The most terrible part about it is that many people like John do not even know they have it until it is too late. You should also know that there are nearly 21 million people in the United States alone that have diabetes and most of them type 2. This represents about 7 percent of the population and it is worth to pay attention to the fact that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more than 6 million of these people do not know they have the condition.
In addition there is a need to add that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that another 41 million people are estimated to have pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition that is developed before type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the United States. As a matter of fact in 2005 alone 1.5 million individuals aged 20 years or older were newly diagnosed with diabetes.
Most people who get diabetes are told by their doctor to start taking diabetes pills or medications and go on a diet. The doctor hands them a diet to stick to, they try it out, then it often happens that they can’t get motivated and when hungry they go out and have some pizza and beer.
The problem is that people are often not informed about such facts like that diabetes is a leading cause of adult blindness, lower-limb amputation, nerve damage and kidney disease. It should be also mentioned that this could lead to even more complications and death for sure.
You should also know that most people getting diabetes are in the 40s, 50s and upwards but in today’s fast food world both children and adults even in their teens and early 20s and 30s have it or are going to end up with this deadly| disease.
It is necessary for each person to understand that there is no magic pill that will save them from getting this disease for which there is no known cure for. You should keep in mind in mind that there are only a few ways treat diabetes: control high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels and quit smoking because these key factors will really help reduce the risk for developing diabetes.

Designing Disney
$12.27
Designing Disney sets into history and puts into context the extraordinary contributions of the late John Hench, who, at the age of 94, still came into his office at Imagineering each day. His principles of theme park design, character design, and use of color made him a legendary figure, not only for Disney fans but also for students and aficionados of architecture, engineering, and design. Designing Disney reveals the magic behind John’s great discoveries and documents his groundbreaking in several key areas: “Design Philosophy” examines the values, attitudes, aesthetics, and logic that went into the original concepts for Disney theme parks. In “The Art of the Show” and “The Art of Color,” Hench reveals the essence of what makes the parks work so well. And in “The Art of Character,” he lets the reader in on the how and why of the Disney characters’ inherent popularity-their timeless human traits, archetypal shape and gestures that suggest these qualities graphically, and their emotional resonance in our lives. >>Read More
