Lifescript.com published an article recently that reported a staggering figure of 366 million diabetics worldwide. The figure is not only staggering . It is also disturbing.
Diabetes is known to cause the death of a person every 7 seconds. That's scary. But what is scarier is that majority of those who have the disease have Type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is not hereditary. It's caused by unhealthy lifestyle: poor diet, no exercise, excessive weight, smoking and drinking. These are lifestyles that are very much within our control. And, yet they continue to lead to a deadly disease.
4.6 million diabetic deaths every year - and we will add up to that statistic if we don't change the way we live.
