A diabetes epidemic is under way. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 30m people worldwide had some form of diabetes in 1985; by 2000, the number had increased to 177m. WHO projections suggest that the number of people suffering from the disease will increase to some 370m by 2030.

The report focuses on the market size for diabetes treatment. Frankly it is not exciting to read the market opportunities for non-cure treatments of diabetes and how much money they can make.
The stark reality is that people will continue to exploit diabetics till a cheap cure is found.

This is the reason why I urge everyone in your capacity to convince your local politicians for stem cell research which by all counts looks the most promising approach to cure diabetes and host of other diseases.
