This morning when doing my gentle Chi Kung exercises (Eight Pieces of Brocade which comes in a small book and can be learned fairly easily, a little at a time may work best., I thought about 'diabetes' as a word describing what exactly? Blood sugar regulation...but with that 'die' sound at the beginning of the word, I thought, why don't we rename that condition that is affecting not onlly almot 30 million Americans, but as a prediabetes condion, 70 million more.
There are only 300 million people in the US, so that is One Third of the Country! We could call it 1/3rdabetes!
