Welcome to the Diabetes Information Blog

Introduction
Diabetes has been with us since ancient times. In the far distant past it was referred to as being an infrequent condition. Sadly, this is no longer the case. Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing, chronic conditions in the world. Despite its prevalence in the general population, it is remarkable that so few people are diagnosed with diabetes. The primary reason for this turn of events is pre-diabetic symptoms are generally unrecognized by the average person. As a result, only a fraction of potential diabetics are diagnosed every year; the majority of diabetics or pre-diabetics are never recognized or treated as their blood sugar levels are not within the parameters or definition of a blood sugar condition.
In order to understand about the viable and effective options the public has in avoiding this condition, it is vital to be aware of what Syndrome X or Metabolic Syndrome is and why this condition is in some ways more insidious and dangerous than diabetes is. This condition is dangerous partly because medical authorities don’t believe they can or should treat or prevent it and partly because there is no screening or public awareness programs. This is the primary reason why this blog has been written. It is up to individuals to help and educate themselves; this is the best prevention after all.
