The term Diabetes is generic and refers to any inability of the body to metabolize sugar, and so the two common types of diabetes become confused.
The diabetes that is referred to here as a public health challenge is Type II diabetes, not Type I, or Juvenile, diabetes.
Type II diabetes is, for the most part, a self inflicted disease resulting from extremely poor eating habits resulting in obesity. It is not related to Type I diabetes that is an extremely serious condition usually having its onset in youth, and attributed to genetic factors.
Type II diabetes is almost 100% avoidable, like lung and throat cancer from smoking, but will be with us for a long time.
The real challenge, of course, should be the diabetes, Type I, that the victims, mostly young people barely in their teens, had no choice in. But as is typical, the squeeky wheel - the fat gutted gluttons who can't keep their head out of the refrigerator - take the medical research dollars that should be alloted to the genuine cases.
This, unfortunately, is the case, where the Canadian population explodes in its obesity to try to match the beached whales in America, the people we most admire and emulate.
