[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1985863, member: 408573"] Some would argue that for the first time in modern history we are not living longer. What is known is that we are living sicker. Kendrick reckons that 30 years ago T2 was a disease of the over 65s. In that time T2, obesity and cardiac conditions have risen. In N.America today children are being found to have fatty liver and Ivor Cummins mentions (in an aside so no details) that a child has been diagnosed as T2, that child was two and a half years old. Lustig cites two babies each of six months old having raised bg levels This means that the diagnosis rate has not gone up because people are living longer, all age groups are affected now. I was listening to a podcast the other day and the boffin was comparing the progneses of a ten year old child with T2 and and an adult who developes the condition later in life. It was not pleasant listening. [/QUOTE]
