Diabetes is rising alarmingly in Malaysia, reaching edemic
proportions. Some 18% of the population is diabetic, up
from less than 1% nearly 50 years ago.

" .... in 2008 nearly 17% of the general population of Malaysia had diabetes mellitus. "

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/118179.php


This was in 2004 :

" In my previous Editorial, prevalence was noted to be only 0.650% in 1960
and in the early 1980s, 2-4%. We has made much ‘progress’ since then:
surveys in the mid-1990s showed a prevalence of about 8-12% while a
recent report of our study undertaken in 1998 showed a prevalence of
diabetes amongst rural and semi—urban populations of 14.0% (range 7.1%
to 20.3%). We are now six ears since our last survey; it may not be
unreasonable to estimate a current prevalence in the range of 16— 18%.
Assuming just 40% of the population (estimated at 25 million) are 30 years
and above, we should have at least 1.6 million adult diabetics in this country now. "

" Worse still, Type 2 diabetes is seen as no longer a disease of middle or old age
— children as young as 10 years old suffering from diabetes (both Type 1 and
Type 2) are not an uncommon sight nowadays. "

In 2007 :

" I have seen children as young as seven coming in with this type of diabetes.
This was rare five years ago. "

" 54% of the adult population is either obese or overweight,
compared to only 24.1% 10 years ago. As a result 7 out of 10
Malaysian adults suffer from chronic diseases. "

" The Chinese must be doing something right as there was only a two
per cent increase from 25.6 per cent to 27.6 per cenI. "

http://www.diabetes.org.my/article.php?aid=941



" There is growing evidence that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS),
a cheap substitute for sugar used in processed foods and drinks
may facilitate insulin resistance, and eventually lead to Type 2 diabetes. "

The situation looks even worse in the Arab countries,
especially the UAE. 35% of kids under 14 there are diabetic.

Pterocarpus marsupium, the Indian Kino tree, is apparently the only herb shown
to be capable of regenerating the islet cells in the pancreas.

The other herb with a reputaton of regenerating the pancrea's
beta islet cells is Pterocarpus marsupium, the Indian Kino tree,
commonly used in Ayurvedic diabetic formulations, such as
that by Himalaya.

Pterostilbene is a component of Pterocarpus marsupium.

Barry Sear's Zone Diet, or the 40/30/30 diet, is also an anti-diabetic diet.


Since it reduces insulin resistance, it is also considered an anti-aging diet.

Quite a number of celebrities - Madonna, Martin Sheen,
Jennifer Anniston, Sandra Bullock - are following it.

Mechanisms of Aging: The Central Aging Clock


'' In one study, glucose tolerance and insulin action were investigated in Italian
centenarians (persons over 100 years old). It was found that in centenarians
both these parameters were at the same level as in adults under 50, and better
than in elderly under 75. This indicates that centenarians had only a minimal
shift in their energy homeostasis (i.e. a very slow central aging clock), which
may have contributed to their longevity. ''



Acceleration of the central aging clock is associated with : Insulin excess

Slow down of the central aging clock is associated with : Optimal insulin release

'' ..... insulin directs all the biochemical processes that
lead to plaque formation in arteries. ''


'' Since insulin resistance is connected to degenerative diseases, and since
insulin resistance occurs naturally in the aging process, degenerative
diseases of aging have to be linked to the aging process. ''


'' ..... the degenerative diseases of aging (which are the end result of insulin resistance) ....''
