Public Health Announcement:
One of my best buddies met his worst enemy yesterday and he nearly went into a coma.
Meet 'Diabetes Mellitus', commonly known as Diabetes is a syndrom of disordered metabolism resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Diabetes develops due to a diminished production of insulin or resistance to its effects. There's no cure for diabetes, and patients have to inject themselves with insulin on a constant basis because insulin is digestible by enzymes in saliva.
How do you get Diabetes? Well you either inherited it in your genes (Suddenly I feel like supporting stem cells research in gene-modifications and manipulations), or you get it due to your unhealthy diet (all our favorite foods and drinks-especially Coke, Rice, and Sugar contain high level of glucose).
We can't do nothing about our genes right now so we need to suck it up and control it but we can maintain a healthier lifestyle by not having constant sugar-overload. Sugar-overload will cause our pancreatic cells burdens in creating insulin (which tells our bodies that we have had enough foods) until they are not functioning anymore. And this in turn will cause our bloods to have excessive sugar hike (this is very bad, simply put). Imagine your body having to constantly experience this sad scenarios...
If i'm one of your pancreatic cells, I'm so not going to be happy and i'm so going to have a strike (just like the Frenchs). If i'm you i'm so so going to worry about me and my fragile little life here on planet earth. SO, EAT HEALTHY! REDUCE YOUR GLUCOSE INTAKE! SERIOUSLY!
Note-to-self: Drinks at least 2L of water daily. Ban carbonated drinks and sugar.

wow, awareness-raising post! maybe you could add the complication of DM to emphasize the importance of having healthy amount of glucose intake in diet :)
p/s: Don't let me see you drinking carb drinks the next time you go Carl's Junior! ;p
