"China and India have epidemic obesity these days, surely contributing. When I went to China first 16 year ago it was rare to see obese people. These days it is sadly very common, including very young children who are grossly obese.

"Yes, this is VERY sad !!! I don't think it is that simple : " don't eat rice and you won't have ill effects " ...folks from India, China have been eating this as their main stay for centuries ...what is changing, I think is…"
Cosumne Jan commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'China overtakes India as ‘Diabetes Capital''"So much for the argument that people in other parts of the world eat lots of rice with no ill effects."
Stoyan commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'China overtakes India as ‘Diabetes Capital''"That is sad to hear - diabetes is truly a global problem, and it is growing. We need to find the best way to help as many people as possible - and a cure would certainly help with that."
RogerMumbai posted a blog postChina overtakes India as ‘Diabetes Capital'

India follows with about 61.3 million, and the third on the list is far behind – United States at 23.7 million.These figures revealed by the Diabetes Atlas, an effort of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in mid-November have once again stressed the…See More
Cathy commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'Middle-Age Diabetics Carry Double the Risk for Developing Geriatric Ailments'"I think I have developed vascular dementia....see now what the Doctor thinks.

RogerMumbai posted a blog postBlood Sugar Test Costing Only 5 Cents To Detect 133 Million Undiagnosed Diabetics In India
The government of India has decided to make available diabetes screening tests costing just 5 cents across the country. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) says the test to determine whether a person is suffering from diabetes could be available in a year-and-a-half. Whether this program will be launched as part of the National Diabetes Census announced last year is not clear.“Given the fact that India is a known as a diabetes hub, union (federal) health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad is…See More

Brian (bsc) commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'Expectant Mothers on Low-carb Diet May Give Birth to Fat Babies'"I think this is highly speculative. Suggesting that low carb causes obesity because one gene is associated with a lower carb intake and that gene is associated with infant fat levels is a real stretch. Heck, maybe fat babies are healthy babies?"
Anne commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'Expectant Mothers on Low-carb Diet May Give Birth to Fat Babies'"You can't compare things we eat today with what our ancestors ate!
Not only has the human body changed over time, but also the amount of exercise, and the ingredients in food.
The didn't have marmalade, coke, spaghetti, pizza, cheese,…"
Gerri commented on RogerMumbai's blog post 'Expectant Mothers on Low-carb Diet May Give Birth to Fat Babies'"Does the article state how many carbs is low carb? Gotta love inconclusive studies. Not surprised to see this featured by the ADA, the high carb food pyramid promoters.
"Humans originally ate food as it came in nature ‒ legumes, pulses, things…"

Type-2 Diabetes May Be An Autoimmune Disease

Despite the fact that millions of people have type-2 diabetes, the root cause of insulin resistance is not known
Now Stanford researchers say that type-2 diabetes is looking more and more like an autoimmune disease, rather than a strictly metabolic disorder.
The crux of their findings is that instead of creating antibodies against a foreign substance, immune system… Continue

- Dear Roger
I am working in the field of Diabetology at Lucknow for over 20 years and have contributed in my own way. I might be contacted at Id: drshankhdhar@gmail.com.
If you are a journalist, then you should know that the major reason for ignorance is the poor infrastructure of diabetes care in India and the fact that most Indians have to bear all costs of treatment on their own,

- Hi RogerMumbai- Welcome to TuD. We hope you like it here. It is sad that India has such a high number of Diabetics. I saw a piece on dLife ( TV program ) about this recently. They have a website, you might want to check, since I don't think you can get the TV program. It is dLife.com. Stop by my page anytime to "talk."
