Joe Rogan - The Problem with Refined Sugar & Carbs

Key messages NEW ZEALAND:-> It is estimated that about 307,000 people had diabetes in 2022, an increase of around 15,000 people from 2021. Across all age groups, 6.8 percent of men were estimated to have diabetes compared with 5.9 percent of women. The Pacific population had the highest estimated rate of diabetes at 12.5 percent, followed by the Indian population (9.5 percent) and the Māori population (7.0 percent). In 2022, age-specific rates of diabetes prevalence varied by more than two-fold across Health New Zealand districts (formerly called district health boards or DHBs). For example, in those aged 65–74 years, prevalence ranged from 9.4 percent to 27.9 percent of a district population. The increase in diabetes prevalence following the COVID-19 pandemic is concerning. From 2018 to 2020, there was a slight increase, from 5.6 percent to 5.8 percent, but the sharpest rise occurred between 2020 and 2022, when prevalence jumped to 6.4 percent. In 2022, about 67.7 percent of those with diabetes regularly received any hypoglycaemic medication. The regular dispensing of medicines for glycaemic control varied around 1.5-fold by Health New Zealand district, from between 65.2 percent to 83.4 percent of those aged 65‒74 years with diabetes regularly receiving those medicines in 2022. Over the last 5 years, rates have remained stable. Across all age groups, Māori had higher rates of admissions for diabetes-related complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia and lower-limb amputations. The percentage of bed-days occupied by people with diabetes increased with age, reaching a peak in the 65–74-year age group (27.6 percent). Additionally, significant differences were observed between ethnicities. Diabetes Do Pacific Islanders in New Zealand have diabetes? Within the New Zealand population, the prevalence of diabetes in Māori and Pacific populations is around three times higher than among other New Zealanders. Prevalence is also high among South Asian populations.10 Jan 2024 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

............................................... @BrainAttackMusic 3 years ago I had a major cerebellar stroke in 2013. Brain surgery, the whole 9 yards. After all this brain trauma, neuro fatigue is a major problem. I can't exercise 'cos I can't walk that far. I wanted to reduce the inflammation in my body so started keto in January 2020. To date (June 2021), my fatigue is way better, my energy levels are much higher, my skin is better. Plus, I happen to have lost 30kgs. I'm the lightest I've been since I was in my 20s. I'm now 63.
