I used to wonder about the impact of all the famines in India from the Mughal to British colonisation period.
This report from wion suggests that the impact of colonial famines can still be felt to this day in the high rates of diabetes in Indians.
This will be a huge economic issue for us.
Every family will have to pay for treatment and just to delay an early death.
Ridiculous economic pressure on every family.
Add it to rising costs of raising children.
This needs immediate attention as the effects of our actions here will only be felt at a later date.
Everything from funding stem cell therapy research, artificial pancreas to making our cities cycle centric should be explored.
By 2040 we should have cycle centric cities, cheap and definitive treatment, development of a culture of physical activity.
Otherwise, we may also stagnate as public spending decreases.
