Fewer People with Diabetes Developing Heart Disease

ATLANTA, Nov 3, 2007 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease
Control says diabetics are doing a better job of monitoring their
blood sugar and fewer are developing heart disease.

A CDC study found that in adults 35 years and older with diagnosed
diabetes, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease decreased by more
than 11 percent over an eight-year period. The report, published in
CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, said the decrease may be
due in part to declining rates of cardiovascular disease risk factors
such as smoking, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and to
increased use of preventive treatments such as daily aspirin, the
agency said Thursday in a news release.

A second CDC study found adults with diabetes who checked their blood
glucose levels at least once a day increased by more than 22 percent
between 1997 and 2006.

Checking blood glucose does not prevent heart disease if nothing is
done about abnormal readings.

Moreover, a person with type-2 diabetes automatically has heart
disease because they have already had years of metabolic syndrome
(MetS). This is why rates of heart attacks and strokes remain as high
in diabetics as in those who have already had either a heart attack or
stroke.

Again people who never took math
1) People are getting diagnosed a LOT earlier
2) Therefore
a) It takes a longer time from diagnosis for heart disease to
develop - just by the numbers
and
b) As people get earlier treatment, the onset of heart disease is
delayed,

So, if you diagnosed 15 years earlier, the average onset of Heart
disease will be 15 years later
and
If you TREAT the people you diagnosed earlier, you may delay onset for
another 15 years
AND
advances in treatment should further help, but not as much as the first
two factors

Placing numerical value on medical items is a questionable endeavor.
There are so many variables .

It is a lawyers game to arrive at an answer that serves their client's
interest.

In most cases I prefer Ted's answers

Medical interest excel at the PR game.

Let us follow Dr Chung, our Moses, to lead us through this vast
waistland and bring us safely to the promised land of 2 pounds of milk
and honey.

Dr Chung - in your frequent quoting - "Prayerfully in the infinite
power and might of the Holy Spirit" - is it safe to say that it is not
the alcoholic type of spirit that would come under the two pound rule.

You also refer to hunger "Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be
blessed" - do people in Heaven have hunger for eternity?
