The incidence of type II diabetes and Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) is increasing worldwide. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 7 million people develop diabetes each year, at a rate of two people every 10 seconds! It is believed that up to 50% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed, and in some less developed countries, that number could be as high as 80%. This staggering number can be attributed to the slow onset of Type II diabetes. People may not notice the progression of symptoms, including fatigue, thirst, constant hunger, frequent urination, blurred vision, weight loss, weakness, recurrent infections and healing wounds. Another factor that may contribute to increased cases of type II diabetes is greater affluence. Increased income to spend on food, cars and other labor-saving devices leads to a fatter, less active in society-two of the key factors that contribute to type II diabetes. This disease can have many serious complications if not managed, but many people do not understand how serious it is. Why? Because many people with diabetes healthy look. However, delayed diagnosis or mismanagement can lead to vision impairment and blindness, kidney damage and failure, angina and heart attacks, painful feet and paralysis, and foot ulcers and poor circulation in legs and feet, which can result in amputation.

Are you at risk?

People with diabetes do not produce insulin or does not function as expected. In healthy people insulin works in the food you eat to deliver glucose to cells for energy. People with diabetes have high levels of blood glucose, because insulin is not to facilitate the transport of glucose into cells. This explains the symptoms and complications of diabetes: your body has no energy to perform their necessary tasks! While there is a genetic predisposition, studies have also noted that the composition of the diet, physical activity and low birth weight contribute to the onset of type II diabetes.

People at risk are:

• Over 40 years of age

• To have (or had) a blood relative with diabetes

• To have (or had) diabetes during pregnancy
