Hi guys, I'm back in this video. We're going to talk about why diabetes is becoming so prevalent, so popular nowadays.

I found some interesting information. I want to share with you the American Diabetes Association.

1970, we're recommending 45% of the total calories carbohydrates.

20% protein, 35% fat.

Then, in 1986, it increased to 60% of the total calories carbohydrates.

So it went from 45 to 60, and it's interesting because in the 70s you didn't see the obesity that you see right after the 80s and the 90s.

So here we have this recommendation of more carbohydrates.

Then in 1994, they still kept the 60%, but they were more flexible with their plan.

They allowed more added sugar and sucrose to be a part of these calories right here.

Big problem, because as you know, the carbs are going to spike insulin.

So then the Medical Association really gets the information about diabetes from the experts here.

So it filters down through the medical industry, and you cannot fix diabetes with this many carbohydrates.

It's impossible. So what they have to do is they have to manage diabetes.

So that's all about balancing their food with the medication.

And making sure that the complications of diabetes, which is hypoglycemia, doesn't occur because that's dangerous.

So you have to keep feeding them to keep the sugar up.

So it's all about keeping that sugar medication balanced.

Then we have to balance the lipids, which is coming from the high levels of insulin with medication.

Good thing we have medication for that.

That we can have medication for the high blood pressure and other complications of diabetes.

We can balance that with meds.

And then as far as your wake goes, it's all about energy balance of eating less and exercising more.
