Diabetes is considered a “disease of affluence” and is said to be caused in particular by the sugar-rich western diet. According to a new study, the number of people affected will increase significantly in the coming years. A healthier diet for the masses cannot be assumed.
According to the Washington Post Experts predict that the number of diabetics worldwide will reach 1.3 billion by 2050, mainly as a result of unhealthy high-sugar diets, which is more than twice as many as today. This potential epidemic could result in higher costs to society and healthcare as this chronic disease is associated with heart problems, kidney failure and other health problems.
What is not included in these calculations is the strange fact that many people were suddenly diagnosed as diabetic after their Covid-19 vaccinations. The development of the clinical picture as a result of the vaccination is unclear.
The ones in the magazine The Lancet published study underscores the alarming increase in the number of people with type 2 diabetes, primarily due to increases in obesity. The researchers analyzed data from 200 countries and found that the prevalence of diabetes has increased significantly over the past three decades. According to the study, there are currently around 529 million people with diabetes worldwide, which is about 6.1 percent of the world’s population. This number is expected to increase to 700 million by 2045 unless effective measures are taken to prevent and treat diabetes. The study underscores the urgent need for public health action to address the growing burden of diabetes and its complications, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and blindness.
As the number increases, it will reveal a sad paradox: Despite advances in medicine and growth in the global economy, our physical well-being and life expectancy are declining due to diseases related to our own wealth, resulting in unusual and complicated public health barriers. Put simply, the expected increase in diabetes cases worldwide will pose a major challenge for healthcare systems. In another report in the magazine Diabetes Care was published, it is estimated that the financial impact of diabetes could reach $1.3 trillion worldwide in 2015, and in a worst-case scenario, that number could rise to $2.5 trillion by 2030.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin or use it effectively to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone that ensures that glucose (sugar) from food gets into the cells and is used there as energy. Without insulin, glucose accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and nerves. This can lead to a range of complications including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage and blindness. People with diabetes are also at increased risk of developing infections and slow healing wounds.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is more common and occurs when the body becomes resistant to or doesn’t produce enough insulin. Treatment for diabetes includes monitoring blood sugar levels, taking medications (such as insulin injections or oral medications), eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise. With proper treatment, people with diabetes can lead healthy, active lives and reduce their risk of complications.
