[QUOTE="BRSBRI, post: 2380100, member: 536611"] Afternoon all - Friday afternoon, 2nd weekend in isolation approaching... After a lunch of salad and chicken, my mmol was 5.7, which got me thinking... - Where I am at the moment is a bustling city with a little more population than Birmingham UK, on an island which is 245 miles long, 90 miles wide at its widest point containing nearly 24m people. That's about 15% of the landmass of the UK, 100 miles off the Chinese coast. - The adult population is 18m or so, of which over 15% have impaired glucose tolerance and I'm told it's estimated 7% have Diabetes Mellitus - that's a whopping 1.2m + of adults on this small island. - When you see the street food (which I will next week), the sweet delicacies dripping in sugar, the carby noodles and rice, along with the genetics, it's not hard to appreciate why the government here in the ROC and the health authorities are worried... Pardon the pun, food for thought as the world heads towards very close to 500m suffering from diabetes in its various guises... [/QUOTE]
