Juvenile Diabetes on the Rise
Published : Thursday, 16 July 2009, 5:13 PM CDT
MINNEAPOLIS - Researchers say that children are being diagnosed with diabetes more than older ages.
Dr. Antionette Moran at Amplatz Children's Hospital at the University of Minnesota says diabetes at all ages is rising. However, kids under five are being diagnosed at twice the rate of all other age groups.
Diabetes is part genetic and part unknown. "Not everybody who is genetically susceptible gets it,” said Moran. “There is some trigger that occurs and we believe the trigger occurs early in life."
Something tells our immune system to start attacking our insulin production and it's happening a lot younger than before.
So parents need to look out. If your child is always thirst, it is important to get them checked out.

Truth
“Diabetes is a chronic, potentially debilitating and often fatal disease. The disease occurs as a result of problems with the production and supply of insulin in the body. Either the body produces no or insufficient insulin or the body cannot use the insulin it produces effectively.”
The truth is, diabetes is chronic only if the underlying cause of the disease remains unresolved.
Unfortunately, “modern” medicine never seems to address these underlying causes.
Instead, they merely attempt to “control” diabetes by suppressing the symptoms with medication… Yet even though those diabetes symptoms appear to be controlled — and certain indicators such as glucose and insulin levels are artificially kept within “normal” ranges — the disease itself continues to get progressively worse.
That’s why you face an 80% risk of dying from heart disease or stroke (plus a long list of other serious health complications), even if you continue to “control” your diabetes with medications.
On the other hand, if you successfully resolve the underlying problems that caused your diabetes in the first place, then this otherwise deadly disease can be completely reversed (despite any claims to the contrary by the so-called diabetes “experts” — who just happen to have a powerful financial incentive to keep as many diabetics as possible on those expensive diabetes medications.)
Diabetes Drug failure
Major manufacturers of diabetes drugs faced major market setbacks as a result of diabetes drugs that were discontinued (Avandia, Actos, Exubera, etc.).
The inhaled insulin product, Exubera, was discontinued in the third quarter of 2007 as a result of lacklustre sales… and Pfizer took a $2.8 billion charge. During the same quarter, GlaxoSmithKline’s sales of Avandia declined 38% because of growing concerns over heart failure risks.
Diabetes and obesity rates just keep climbing at an alarming pace. On November 5, 2007 the United Health Foundation reported that a quarter of the people in the United States is obese, compared with less than half that figure, or 11.6% in 1990.
And according to Medco Health Solutions, a benefit management company, diabetes drugs were one of the biggest drivers of health-care costs in 2006, as overall diabetes treatments increased 5.1%. From 2001 to 2006 the number of people with Type II diabetes climbed 16.9%.
The oral diabetes treatment market is currently at $5 billion annually.
Difference between imagination & realty:
Imagine a pain level of one vaccine short or a small needle accidentally entering in human body for fraction of a second
And
now compare above with factual realty and a real pain, when THE BRAVE KIDS (ages from 6 months to teen age) with type one Diabetes must puncher their small fingers and arms with needle 4160 times a year (6 times a day) for blood glucose level test, and 1080 times a year (3 times a day) to inject insulin in his body via arms, thighs, tummy & other parts of body and parents have to perform all this themselves or monitor all life. On top they have to face a fear of other consequences and not sure when that is going to happen.
Through joint efforts of our associate members in this organization and with the help of our supporters and sponsors we try to share this pain and make life joyful for THE BRAVE KIDS to forget about all above pain and make a big difference in their lives for better future.
