Wales

Diabetes in Wales it seems is at pandemic levels with 7,358 more cases diagnosed in a year of type 1 and type 2.  That is an incredible 20 new cases every day.  20 more people struggling with a condition that for type 2 is preventable.  It is not only Wales that is struggling with this growing epidemic but Scotland too has a high rate of people who are Diabetic.

Interesting read!

I recently read the book 'The Diabetes Diet' by Dr Bernstein who is a diabetic himself.  It was very interest.  The book promotes a low-carbohydrate diet that according to Dr Bernstein is the answer to minimising the affects of diabetes and in some cases returning blood sugars to normal.  It is a promising premise.  On his website there is comments from people who have tried this and have successful lost weight and brought their blood glucose back to normal.

It's worth a read!
