The well-preserved spirit of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote conjures up notions of seeing beyond the horizons of our own personal realities, intrigues us enough to pause and gaze at our own constellation of possibilities and invites us onward to a better place and time in our world. This blog is dedicated to all those who seek their fuller and better self. Your time has come. Your odyssey begins now.

I found it interesting that only the US has this problem but it is in developing countries as well as developed countries. I really thought the US was the one struggling with this because of the easy of food, fast food, processed foods, and lack of exercise.
Diabetes is something we need to continue to watch and research. With the trend of diabetes 2 starting in younger ages we need to make sure we educate our children about healthy eating habits, exercise, and making sure they maintain a suitable BMI.
I appreciated the fact that you stressed that fasting blood glucose levels might be normal even while insulin resistance is becoming more severe. This would have been a great lecture to watch earlier in the course!
Thanks for the thoughts, Sarah. CMD is being investigated furiously, along with IGT progression and expression among all populations. You are correct, the normalization of blood glucose levels with hyperinsulinemia is problematic. Stay tuned. PW
Nice Presentation...I wish it was a touch longer as it was so informative. I really enjoyed seeing the numbers and graphs. The amount of money that is being spent on Diabetes and Obesity is alarming. I didn't think that those two would be at the top of the list. I liked the NCEP information. It gives a nice foundation for someone who doesn't know what risk factors to look for. I also never would have associated people with diabetes and obesity with having a greater risk of cancer. I would have liked to here more on that topic. I will have to research this a touch on my own. Once again, thanks for the presentation.
I loved this presentation. It had so much information and the visuals of the graphs helped teach me a lot more as well. Like Allie said I didn't realize the amount of money that has been spent on diabetes and obesity, it was quite interesting to hear those numbers and was surprising actually. I actually get tested for diabetes quite often but I do not have it. Having diabetes I have always thought of the risk factors of getting something such a cancer as you said in the video so that actually didn't surprise me like how Allie never thought it would link together. I feel as if something so common in America now would link it to other diseases and disorders. -Shelbi Sieck
Thanks to the internet these days we are able to access good information like this, unfortunately those over 45 are getting these heads up already suffering from these diseases! Thank you!
