More than a quarter of world's diabetes patients live in China, making the country the diabetes capital of the world. Yet only 39 per cent of the nation's estimated cases have been diagnosed. In 2017, the disease led to the deaths of about 843,000 people, state broadcaster CGTN reported. So why is China now facing the world’s largest diabetes epidemic, and what can be done to tackle the problem?

Bubble tea is one of the culprits imo
Rice is bad as well. Also, all the new junk food sweets around.
@@aliikane Rice?
@@aliikane Chinese people have been eating rice for centuries. It's all the other high sugar foods that have been recently introduced to the diet that is bad.
Starbucks just look at the amount of sugar and cream that they use for making a cup of coffee such as latte, frappuccino etc
@@aliikane very unlikely...it's most likely the growing popularity of foreign fast food chains (e.g. McDonalds)
Answer: American fast food chains expanding in Asia
And no THC....
David T --- Japan had American fast food chains years (decades?) before China
Likely that and a lack of exercise.
Actually that's not true. Asians are easier to get diabetes
@@cooliipie yes we are kings.. Mot supposed to need so much energy
The answer is: Unhealthy lifestyle. That not the way Chinese used to eat. Oriental cuisine is much healthier than its Western counterpart.
Yes, especially bat soup. 👍
I disagree what is oriental cuisine? There's no such thing as oriental. and you should specify what food it is instead of generalizing the concept of western and eastern food.
If that was true US, Britain would top diabetes charts
@@KR-nv3ru dude do you even know how foie gras is made?
Many older Chinese grew up a bit malnourished and now have abundance of food, their bodies can’t take the increase in carbs and sugars of today’s diet.
Only before the 1980s, after that the opened up
Carbs and sugar, ... Like rice? Ha ha ha.
No, it's fat! And fewer nutrients. Increased meat consumption and reduced vegetable consumption. In China, the lifestyle changes and health risk, are obvious.
Veg Ahimsa: diabetes is from sugars, carbs generate suger.
@@kalbs89 that's incorrect. Type 2 diabetes is cellular insulin resistance caused by intercellular fat. There's plenty of insulin but the glucose sugar remains in the blood because the cells are clogged up with fat. Consumption of sugar only triggers the symptoms, but fat is the cause.
I believe that too as what you've said relates perfectly to my gran
Too many Chinese now eating American junk food, like McDonald's and KFC.
the Chinese KFC and Mcdonald's are totally different from American
I didn't realize they also lacked decision making skills.
chinese living standards have been getting better, if they were still farmers like in the 20th century they would be fitter and live much longer
It is not McD. Rice is the culprit.
@@sean659 Exactly. Rice and Noodles
Likely a few reasons why it is growing in China. 1. More diagnoses. Likely people were not tested and diagnosed for diabetes decades ago nearly as much. 2. Diets. Diets are much worse than in the 90s with all kinds of poor foods.
Yes lack of diagnosis can be a factor but i can assure you even if they did test it more back then diabetes wouldn't be an issue. The reason we diabetes is because of highly processed foods. Eating rice is not bad at all. Look at the okinawan people. They are eating rice all the time. The chinese, korean, all asian countries and the rest of the world have been eating rice for centuries.
I wonder how many of these deaths can be directly attributed to the billion dollar sugary drink undustry.
Is not because of sugar :-,(
Enriched flour, and flour in general becomes sugar after digested.
Meat as well and cheese block insulin response.
JUST FUCKYING DRINK VEGGIES 🥗 🥕 🥦, do excessive PLEASE!
And stop eating so much meat yo
@@mateoleon524 no they need to stop eating meat. Fat is causing diabetes.
Don't drink boba and don't open boba shop
@Jerry_ L. I never drink boba ... I love coffee hehe
But indians love bobs and vegane drink
@@nazbmn242 ask ur mum for it 😂
@@ladychanceforever5946 I'll ask it from you 😉
Starbucks just look at the amount of sugar and cream that they use for making a cup of coffee such as latte, frappuccino etc
A study was actually conducted in America that showed Asians were more likely to be diabetic compared to non-Asians and that's with Asians being within a normal healthy BMI.
I thought black people(like myself) were more likely to get diabetes
It’s actually South Asian like India.
Non-white populations are more likely to get type 2 diabetes, while White populations are more likely to have type 1 diabetes. Non-white populations are more likely to suffer from diabetes at a normal bmi than Ehite population, the the difference is most servre in Asian populations.
China: blames American fast food for diabetes epidemics.
Japan: had American fast food chains for decades and their citizens still have the longest life expectations.
China: *CiA mUsT bE pAyInG yOu!*
Because Japanese people don't indulge much on western foods. We still choose our local brands and local products.
I am pretty sure Japanese include physical exercises in their daily routine. Like walking
I love how this is not typed into a sideshow but it's read (dictated) by someone. That way I can multitask while listening to your videos instead of focusing all my attention on your typed slideshows.
Yep and the voice and inflections are ear candy 🌽🍬
@@leedee4968 definitely!
First thought in mind without even watching the video "Bubble Tea".
I'd say Coca-cola
You can find coke in literally every corner store, convenient store, supermarket...etc in China in even the most remote places, and there is always only 1 choice - the classic full sugar version. about 5 years ago coke zero started appearing in chinese shops in major cities, but most people drank the normal coke still.
Wow after savoring this channel for a few weeks, I realize it has a lot of great information thanks 😃
Hello how are you doing today
Fast food and rice.
It really took my by surprise when I came to Asia to see how many people are obese here.
Rice is not the problem. If it was then all our ancestors would be obese. Look at the people in okinawa. They eat rice all the time and yet they are living so long. You can look at many indigenous tribes where some form of starch is eaten including rice. Fast food is what is killing us. Processed food is a killer.
Tips to avoid diabetes
1.Control want u eating (most important)
2.What job u working (examples : Office , factory , heavy industry)
3.if u office worker, avoid eat heavy calories (also eat went u really hungry and sometimes eating 2 times per day that already enough for office worker because doesn't take to much energy)
Note : i already do this since im in middle school and i have diabetes bloodlines..my blood sugar still average
Exercises but eat heavy meals totally pointless
Not really. I always eat heavy since I was a kid yet I'm jacked and shredded and no sickness at all.
What about the genetic version
Eat more raw veggies, return to plant based diet as much as possible. It will reverse itself over time.
Don't forget meat.
@Tiny Princess diabetes has no cure because is not a disease. It's a metabolic disorder. A body adaption.
Diabetes is not a disease, it the way you control your diet
Type 1 diabetes left the chat
They send us Corona, we sent them Micky D's
As early as November 2019 to New Jersey?
Too much rice and noodles, so much carbohydrates
They always ate that. Never had diabetes. Now they eat too much meat
US can’t spread democrazy to China but they can sure spread diabetes. 😂
😂👌

Democracy gives various option to make new changes, i m neither american nor european, i m indian.
Democracy gives freedom of expression, we people enjoy this
Once in life read about gabdhi, his noncooperation movement. Once read about nelson mandela
Just Saying O H N O
There foods are mainly carbs...
Sugar kills, and that includes most types of carbohydrates like rice, noodles, basically anything made with flour etc. It’s all in the diet
Idiot hahahaha. Asians have been eating white rice since ancient times yet diabetes just exploded nowadays because of unhealthy western foods.
I always eat 8-10 cups of white rice a day yet I'm healthy, jacked and ripped.
I Need to survive on carbs (type 1)
fast food + bubble tea :)
As i see it, most of the diabetes in China, being Type 2, has developed as an onset diabetes in the elderly, who rarely even know they are suffering from this. I believe a lifetime of eating rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner, coupled with the reduced output of the pancreas being age related after a lifetime of struggle producing sufficient insulin, is the root cause. This rice, being hi GI carbohydrates is converted to sugars very quickly, with the body unable to produce enough insulin to absorb it as energy. In China, it is not a result of lifestyle change, or eating fastfood. It can be controlled with a change of diet, lowering the carbohydrate intake.
Japan, India and other Asian nations eat rice daily. Rice is NOT the culprit and has not been for centuries. Eating processed western foods as well as more FRIED foods is the leading cause. Also, most Asian cultures tend to eat fermented foods which helps the stomach pH in processing. Unfortunately with the western diet they are slowly abandoning this habit.
@@blendedtonesable how does fried food relate to diabetes?
@@jessw391Simply put; Fried foods are usually breaded with some type of flour which is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates will convert to sugars in the body. Elevated sugars are a culprit of diabetes.
The oils used in frying present a raised cholesterol count. Cholesterol in some cases over time will help to clog or harden the artieres. Poor circulation is another culprit of diabetes.
This has nothing to do with American food, since relatively few Chinese consume American food on a regular basis (except maybe KFC). The bigger issue is the ubiquity of Bubble tea and Fruit tea, as well as the availability of rice- and noodle-dishes.
It's Mcdonalds and KFC and Burger King mostly
Yeah that's what I thought too. Those boba drink can be really sweet and let's not forget the boba ball itself also made of flour. Pure carb poisonous drink over there.
Oop this is the most Education I have ever gotten in science Lesson

Your next lesson will be English language.
*Nauru be like-What about obesity?*
1. New wealth in China.
2. a Fat Man is considered affluent.
3. _Fast food_ is high in glucose.
@@fuchr1088 Fat AND glucose together is the recipe for diabetes. More so glucose than fat. To be fair, most Asian countries suffer with diabetes due to the high intake of rice. How do you know if a diet is fine just because it has been carried out for centuries? Chances are they have always been diabetic, just now that testing are more readily accessible.
Fat man is hard to find a girl, unless you are super rich
@@takuyakimura9 no only fat.
Its in the rice. Seriously.
If the USA had a billion citizens, we'd have 900,000,000 diabetics.
💀💀💀
Nice video, I bought Ambrosia Nightrider cgm to monitor glucose which works great with my Libre sensor, their alarm feature is very helpful during night, it gives alerts when readings are not in range.
Awww guys my nurse is so nice
She told I was very sweet...
Even tho she said extremely diabitic
I know what she meant
😂
Rice and bread are the main culprits, also too many vegetables (although it can be okay in small amounts properly processed). It would be fine if they had a higher activity level but most people in the world don't move nearly as much as we used to.
Imo it has to do more with use of sugar and refined flour not just bread. Burger, friend chicken with a smoothie all contribute in increase in blood sugar. Couple it with less exercise and boom, you get yourself into a diabetic situation. I was the overweight person thanks to this and lack of understanding about diabeties. Energy level low without food, obese, self esteem issues and what not. Then I left all of these fast foods and stick to homemade food (Indian dishes which have rice, what, pulses, chicken and whole lot of veggies). It been 3 months of me doing this along with IF and I have shed a significant portion of my weight. I am pretty much sure I was pre diabetic prior to this (as my both parents have dibeties) but now I am happy that my blood sugar levels are ideal.
Thts the point people need to be educated
China switched their starch-based rice-diet to a diet high in meat, fat and processed foods.
Actually eating meat keeps you healthy and slim
Type 2 diabetes risk factors are the same as the comorbidities of covid hospitalization and fatality risk. The covid infection fatality risk is less than the all cause mortality risk with the same comorbidities as the leading causes of preventable death every year. Heart disease, high blood pressure, respiratory, kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, ... If you want to live longer, healthier, happier: eat more fruit and veggies, less meat, breath fresh air, exercise, sleep, relax, and socialize.
not less meat, NO meat
They eat too much and don't exercise
Charles Yu sounds like America 😂
Just eat healthy and exercise regularly. It makes life better believe it or not.
Bubbletea? BBBEEPPBEEEP
I bet it's not as high per capita as USA though
They never said what the exact reason was why so many more ppl in China are diabetic. Nor did they explain why even tho there is a lower percentage of overweight ppl in China the diabetic rate is higher.
Starbucks is one of the culprits imo just look at the amount of sugar and cream that they use for making a cup of coffee such as latte, frappuccino etc
Why would it be Starbucks, not Luckin Coffee?
It won't be tasty without such an amount of sugar
Diabetes America's greatest weapon.
You forgot to mention the fact that Asians get it easier..
FYI, 2 Big Mac meals (with medium fries and soft drink) provide adequate daily calories and protein, plus 90 g fat (23 g saturated), but deficient in most vitamins and many minerals. Carbs are not the problem.
So you're saying if I eat just two big mac meals that that's my daily calorie intake over already? I think that says a lot
Carbs and sugar are the problem. You can cure diabetes yourself with keto/ low carb diet and intermittent fasting.
When I ate fast food every day for 1 year and 6 months, I was always exercising 4 hours every single day and I stayed healthy. I was eating 2 whoppers, 4 slices of pizza and 2 ramen packs, 5 michelina dinners a day. I did that for over a year.
Maybe lean, but def not as healthy as u would be with eating better foods
Lots of protein in the Whopper and you were eating lots of carbs for energy. Not the best diet. Even Michael Phelps ate a lot of junk. But he spent 8 hours a day in the pool.
Why did you do that ?
@@ritahorvath8207 I was hungry.

To prevent diabetes:
1. For Asian: control your rice consumption. Don't eat too much rice and don't eat all 3 times a day. Also control your sweet drinks consumption, especially those boba/jelly drinks.
2. For Western: control your junk food consumption. Not only it causing diabetes in the future, but also cholesterol, hypertension, and heart attack. Same as Asian, control your sweet drinks to such a cola/soda, milk, etc.
Do physical exercising at least 1-3 times a week. Don't have a time? At least do 15 minutes exercise like aerobic so just turn on your TV screen. Or take a walk at least 20 minutes when you go to work. Move your body so your muscles can use those sugar in your blood as the energy.
What about the genetic
We should get back to TRADITIONEL Food instead of fast food and do more EXERSCISE like walking and fitness!
too much RICE is killing you.
FROM EATING BATS!!!
K
It’s not curable, but it is reversible.
Stop eating refined flour rice instead eat oats and whole wheat
Incurable is a lie.
So many fallacies in this video. Once you are diabetic is is not "out of control". In early stages it is very much controllable...in fact it is reversable. Secondly, you don't "need" carbohydrates to survive. In fact the introduction of carbs into the human diet is relatively a new thing. Again...its not necessary chronic and a "life long" issue.
China should have low diabetes because most Chinese do heavy labor and work 16 hour days without breaks
Lifestyle modification is the best medication for diabetes.
How humorous: incurable and progressive! My Ketogenic Diet cured me of T2D AND the obesity!
There's no incentive for doctors and pharma to promote food as medicine.
Keep eating all those cards & enjoy your diabetes people.
Actually, the CCP could do the world a big favor and research the cause and publish the data for free. Perhaps an artificial ingredient widely used? It's not 'American fast food' as some suggested. Japan had American fast food for a lot longer than China. (are chubby girls culturally attractive in China? I personal think so, but I don't know if that's a general consensus in China)
Japan actually has a higher rates of diabetes at 13.5% for adults (compared to 8.6% for China). But they just have a smaller population (126 million japanese compared to 1.4 billion chinese)
Diabetes is when you drink hot water even if it's summer. Definitely a problem in china.. LOL
Hahahahaha

Thankfully those US/Western fast-food chains can't beat our street food vendors, so the situation in my country isn't that bad, yet.
Lol Japan and South Korea had those chains for much longer than China, yet they are doing fine! I think its Chinese bubble tea and the rice/ flour based diet

Starbuck everywhere in China
Eating meat linked to higher risk of diabetes -- ScienceDaily. Higher intake of red meat and poultry is associated with significantly increased risk of developing diabetes, which is partially attributed to their higher content of heme iron in these meats.
And eating only meat links to lower risk of diabetes as the protein will not raise blood sugar levels that much at all, which makes bodys insulin production to remain stable and easy for the body itself.
@@Ryptahi someone needs a new glasses.
@@Ryptahi no youre wrong. Meat causes diabetes.
@@SpaceTime773 that claim is simply not true. If it would, then countries with high meat consumption would be top of the list and those with low would be at bottom. Which by the way it isn't. Just look at China
