>>Some really good news on Diabetes- for a change:<<

Iktomi -

This good news on diabetes is like the good news on cancer.

While cancer survival rates are up since the 1970s, more people are getting cancer now than were then. Put another way, you are more likely to survive cancer now, but you are also more likely to get it.

Similarly, though Americans are controlling their diabetes better, more of them are becoming diabetic.

What we have in both cases is improvement in the treatment, but insufficient progress in prevention.
