Blueball FAQ for February 2008: Is diabetes fairly common among those with EMS? Why might this be?

I can't be absolutely sure, but I think that diabetes is indeed a fairly common secondary illness to EMS, although in some persons it probably occurs for reasons unrelated to EMS. From what patients tell me, there seem to be a lot of EMS diabetic patients. Reasons could include: 1) Heredity 2) Sedentary lifestyle 3) Poor diet 4) Increased risk because of having EMS itself (there is some evidence for that); 5) Weight gain due to lack of exercise, prednisone usage, etc. 6) Ordinary aging increasing the risk and so on..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
