OBESITY AND DIABETES RISK
Scientists have been warning that diabetes will be the next medical crisis in this country. Now – a new study may give us a better warning of who its next victims will be, showing that diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes and obesity may be linked.
For years, doctors have been weighing patients, and then determining their likelihood of developing type-2 diabetes. They did so by calculating their “body mass index”—a ratio of their weight to their height.

The treatment goal for severe obesity should be an improvement in health achieved by a durable weight loss that reduces life threatening risk factors and improves the performance of daily activities. In most all cases, surgical treatment is required. However, the wait lists for weight loss surgeries in Barrie, Ontario are impossible. According to 2003 US statistics, Ontario required 4,500 bariatric surgeries per year but only 200 surgeries were performed in the province. Dr. Elliot R. Goodman, MD of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City has heard of the toil of four to five year long waiting lists from his Canadian patients and has created a program for them and those that follow.
