Diabetes out of Control
The latest diabetes figures show that the epidemic is out of control. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells and cannot be prevented. Type 2 diabetes makes up the majority of diabetes cases (85%-95%),
It is estimated 60% or more of type 2 diabetes could be prevented. Type 2 diabetes patients cannot use the insulin they produce effectively, but can often manage their condition through exercise and diet.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes represent a serious health threat. Diabetes claims four million lives every year and is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and amputation.
The latest data released by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) shows that a staggering 285 million people worldwide have diabetes. In 1985 the data available suggested that 30 million people had diabetes worldwide. Fifteen years later the numbers were revised to just over 150 million. IDF predicts that, if the current rate of growth continues unchecked, the total number will exceed 435 million in 2030, many more people than the current population of North America.
Diabetes now affects seven percent of the world's adult population. The regions with the highest comparative prevalence rates are North America, where 10.2 % of the adult population have diabetes, followed by the Middle East and North Africa Region with 9.3%. The regions with the highest number of people living with diabetes are Western Pacific, where some 77 million people have diabetes and South East Asia with 59 million.
China has the higest concentration of diabetes with 43.2 million, however looking at the population of over 1 billion it is not surprising. Behind them the United States (26.8 million); the Russian Federation (9.6 million); Brazil (7.6 million); Germany (7.5 million); Pakistan (7.1 million); Japan (7.1 million); Indonesia (7 million) and Mexico (6.8 million).
When it comes to the percentage of adult population living with diabetes, the new data reveal the devastating impact of diabetes across the Gulf Region, where five of the Gulf States are among the top ten countries affected. The Pacific island nation of Nauru has the world's highest rate of diabetes, with almost a third of its adult population (30.9%) living with the disease. It is followed by the United Arab Emirates (18.7%); Saudi Arabia (16.8%); Mauritius (16.2%); Bahrain (15.4%); Reunion (15.3%); Kuwait (14.6%); Oman (13.4%); Tonga (13.4%) and Malaysia (11.6%).
"The epidemic represents nothing short of a global health emergency," said IDF President Jean Claude Mbanya,. "It is alarming that world leaders stand by while the diabetes fuse slowly burns. The serious impact on families, countries and economies continues with little resistance. Governments, aid agencies and the international community must take concerted action to defuse the threat now, before the diabetes time bomb explodes."

AyurGold contains the 15 most potent blood rejuvenating herbal concentrates available in Ayurvedic Science and backed by clinical studies. When formulated in the correct amounts and blended by our proprietary process, 279 natural phytonutrients exert 544 synergistic activities on your body to improve glucose metabolism by stimulating endocrinal activity through the activation of key enzymes and glucose transport.
AyurGold nourishes and stimulates your endocrinal system to relieve the debilitating effects of high glucose levels in the bloodstream. This is done by stimulating the endocrine cells found in the pancreas. The pancreas contains the Islets of Langerhans, a group of endocrine cells that are responsible for the production of insulin. The herbs in AyurGold increase the utilization of glucose, improve glucose metabolism, and inhibit glucose output from the liver. AyurGold incites the Islets of Langerhans to generate key enzymes responsible for regulating blood sugar in the body. It reverses abnormal lipid profiles seen in people with high blood sugar, thereby further normalizing glucose metabolism and controlling blood sugar levels. Together with herbs that help increase blood circulation, AyurGold works to enhance the production of key molecules that rejuvenate you and restore total balance to your body.
The ingredients in AyurGold comprise a Proprietary Blend that goes to work directly on the endocrinal system with positive impact on hormonal levels and blood chemistry normalization. Simply take one AyurGold capsule two times per day to maintain and intensify these effects on your body over time.
