Diabetes symptoms



According to the world Health Organization, there are an estimated 171 million people in the world today suffering from the debilitating disease known as diabetes mellitus. That is about 2.8% of the entire population of the people on this planet.



They further forecast that by 2030 these figures are very likely to double without timely intervention. However, the sad news is that the majority of this increase will take place in Asia and Africa.



What they are suggesting here is somewhat of a two-edged sword, for one thing they are suggesting that these undeveloped countries will be develop in the near future. This is good news for the millions of people suffering in these countries today because of lack of development.



However, they are also suggesting that these countries will develop a Western style of living, the same style that has made the west the place for the highest rate of diabetes symptoms in the World.



The sedentary lifestyle along with or as a result of urbanization will also be developed by Asia and Africa causing them to end up like the west. Now that is a real shocking revelation because it not like the problems of diabetes mellitus in the west today will be gone in another twenty years or that the consequences of this type of lifestyle is not being highlighted today..



Diabetes symptoms are prevalent in develop countries



It is widely known and accepted that diabetes symptoms are more prevalent in the more develop countries today, surely these people from Asia and Africa will learn from the mistakes of the west and adopt different healthier lifestyles and is considered to be simple to do.



However, most of the countries in the World today tend to follow the Western diet lifestyle and neglect the healthier alternative. Evidence of this devastating lifestyle of Western civilization as it relates to diabetes can be seen from the statistics that span a twenty year period in the USA.



Those statistics highlighted that in 2010 around 26 million people have been affected with diabetes symptoms and another 7 million are said to be undiagnosed. They further suggest that there are another 57 million in the pre-diabetes symptoms stage.



These are some very compelling statistics that needs to be address soon and also people need to know that unlike the pass having diabetes symptoms is not a death sentence anymore as it was considered back then.



Diabetes symptoms treatments



It is not that diabetes is a death sentence, but rather the death sentence lies in today's sedentary lifestyles of the people who are unwilling to heed the advice that was given over so many years as there have been many effective treatments available in the pass.



Researchers and physicians alike have traced the connection between diabetes symptoms and people's sedentary lifestyles in the develop World. For many years these people have been telling us about the problem and what to do about it even as far back as ancient times.



They have told us that although the disease is commonly called diabetes that they have identified the fundamentals of the disease to be able to name it correctly as diabetes mellitus. Both words are said to be taken from Latin, which is said to be taken from the Greeks.



The word diabetes literally means a passer through a siphon, but Aretaeus of Cappadocia who was a Greek physician in the 1st Century CE used the term to mean excessive discharge of urine as it relates to diabetes symptoms. This is because the word diabetes was not used in the English language until 1425 in the medical text.
