Dr Brett Says: This is a crisis of our own doing. Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease that is caused by our poor diets and lack of exercise. Unsurprisingly (given that this research is funded by the makers of a diabetes drug) this article focuses mainly on the drug treatments for diabetes. The real results though will be achieved by preventing diabetes. By eating a healthy diet and getting adequate exercise you can not only save a lot of money, you can prevent these chronic diseases as well.
From The Canberra Times
About 1.6 million Australians will be living with Type 2 diabetes by 2050, almost double the current number and a figure that exposes the alarming challenge facing the country.

March 3 (Bloomberg) --
Toddlers who spend more than two hours a day watching television nearly double their risk of getting asthma before they become teenagers, a study found.
Researchers identified 3,065 children without asthma when they were 3 1/2 years old, and tracked them for the next eight years for wheezing or other tell-tale signs of the disorder that makes breathing difficult. Asthma rates rose in tandem with TV time, and those who watched the most had an 80 percent greater risk of being diagnosed by age 12 than those who watched less, according to the study in the medical journal Thorax.
