Diabetes statistics

[edit]

My feeling is that information needs to be in the prevalence section of, for instance, Diabetes mellitus, Diabetes mellitus type 1 and/or Diabetes mellitus type 2. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agreed, so I killed the stats. WhatamIdoing 06:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Almost all organizations like this one are corrupt in some manner. They are more interested in selling drugs than promoting simple cures. There needs to be a criticism of ADA section... such as how they continue to advocate for official government "Pyramid" diet in the face of growing evidence that Atkin's and other low carb diets work.

Controversy over ADA's ignoring of surgical cures

[edit]

Perhaps there should be a section added discussing the notable silence from the ADA on the 99% long-term remission/cure rate that the BPD-DS surgery (known as the Duodenal Switch) has on type 2 diabetes? In addition, gastric bypass surgery has demonstrated a roughly 50-60% long-term remission rate for type 2 diabetes. One would think the ADA would be screaming from every rooftop to let people know about these findings, but nary a word. Why isn't it plastered all over their website? Where is the ADA's educational campaign to get out the word about surgical cures -- to save lives, extend lifespan, and improve quality of life for those afflicted with type 2 diabetes? Why is it that only a pharmaceutical industry pill can be considered a "real" cure for adult-onset diabetes? It is highly doubtful that any prescription drug in the next century will come remotely close to the across-the-board resolution of diabesity-related health problems that these two bariatric surgeries currently deliver, yet everyone is supposed to keep waiting and hoping for the impossible? Could it be that the ADA doesn't want anything to potentially encroach on their turf or impede their fundraising -- what is the reason? In any case, it would seem relevant to note in the article how the ADA has been notably silent on these (pretty stunning) findings, to the point that the public at large doesn't even know about the existence of surgical options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdmwiki (talkcontribs) 19:52, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should be tagged

[edit]

This article has a long history of having anything negative about the organization removed. In addition it seems like individuals have been paid or at least have a COI have been editing this article. --VVikingTalkEdits 18:00, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
