Scary Statistics

There has been much media attention given to the rise of type 2 diabetes in children in recent years, but very little data available to quantify the problem - until now. A new study of the prescription claims of 3.7 million U.S. children ages 5 to 19 revealed a four-year doubling in those taking type 2 diabetes medications. The study was conducted by Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit management company that processes over 450 million prescriptions annually.

   I have found the book Atkins Diabetes Revolution amazingly effective for teaching people ways to control type their type 2 Diabetes. Although it is based on Atkins, it also tells vegetarians how to eat in ways that work. In my work as a distant healer, I had not been able to help people with type 2 diabetes; referring them to this book has been a Godsend for them.
