Tuesday November 19, 2024 at 9:05 p.m. on France 2, the magazine “Enquête de santé” presented by Marina Carrère d’Encausse will offer an evening dedicated to diabetes.
France has never had so many diabetics. There are now more than 4 million and, among them, 600,000 people live with the disease without knowing it. How can we explain this explosion in the number of cases and are we all threatened by type 2 diabetes?
Invisible, painless, diabetes advances masked. It often takes more than ten years for this excess blood sugar to be diagnosed. At this stage, complications are still serious. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of heart attacks and strokes.
Junk food, sedentary lifestyle and excess weight… The risks are known. But consumers have been victims of an overdose of hidden sugars for years. This is the case in the Antilles where a scandal persists. Dairy products, identical in appearance to those in France, are sold there much sweeter.
So how do we defuse this time bomb? The lives of many patients have been transformed by the arrival of new “miracle” drugs. But these injections are used by healthy people to lose weight. A diversion which leads to stock shortages and deprives some diabetics of their treatments.
What if the solution was to be looked elsewhere? Scientists unanimously agree on a 100% natural remedy: physical activity! Its effects are so spectacular that some patients have been able to do without medication. So can we cure type 2 diabetes?
This documentary produced by Charles Behr will be followed by a debate moderated by Marina Carrère d’Encausse.
