Due to the alarming increase in the amount of people diagnosed with diabetes in Australia people have now moved from calling Generation Y the Me Generation to the Diabetes Generation. Scientists have estimated that there will be more then three million people with diabetes in Australia in the year 2025. Scientists have started to make moves to prevent this from happening, but it will be hard to change this pattern of diabetes diagnoses. Not only has the Type Two (based on weight) gone up but so has the amount of people with Type One. It baffles scientists why both would go up when only one is relating to weight. I hope scientists find a way to change this so that we aren't considered the 'Diabetes Generation' anymore.
