A list of all pages that have property "Has abstract" with value "There is a pandemic of diabetes. More than 350 million people are affected world-wide. In the UK more than 4.2 million people (6.3 % of the population) are estimated to be living with diabetes, many without even knowing it (1). In the USA 29.1 million (9.3% of the population) have diabetes (2). Most inspaniduals have type-2 diabetes, the onset of which is nearly universally attributed to the adoption of a “western diet”, rich in calories from refined carbohydrates and saturated fat. But type 1 diabetes is also increasing. Furthermore, type 2 diabetes now appears at much earlier ages, even in children, and increasing numbers of people with type-2 are insulin dependent (3). Inspaniduals are not only developing diabetes at earlier ages, but also living longer. There are now various ways of controlling diabetes, but sadly these are not as successful in treating the complications of diabetes that are related to the heart, major blood vessels, peripheral nerves, kidneys and the eye (4). With an estimated 150,000 people in the UK developing diabetes each year, the prevalence of very long standing diabetes is growing even more rapidly than the prevalence of diabetes itself. This sets up a ‘perfect storm’ for the complications of diabetes which develop after long periods.". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
