[power_range]

Such things - government can push out initiatives but the people must be willing to change their habits too? Must ask yourself - are you successful in changing your habit?

Everyone is responsible for their own health.

if one doesn’t take ownership of their own health? Blame who? Only can blame themselves.

A rough gauge is to check how many bubble tea stores overall open over these years and their sales figures.

It's found that people who takes Metformin has a lower rate of getting cancer.

Despite diabetics should in theory be at higher risk as cancer cells rely on glucose and higher chance of chronic inflammation which impede the immunity system.

It's indeed a wonder drug. What it does it is helps the system to process glucose more efficiently.

Longevity experts take them as supplement but i remember that there are some doctors who cautioned against that for some reason

key thing is early diagnosis, most people don't go for health screening, and for diabetes, there's no major symptoms until it's much too late, where all the organs are already damaged.

for those without company's benefit for free yearly health screening should enroll with the healthier sg, MOH will ensure at least all the required test for each age group for almost free.

all the help is out there, but a lot of people just don't care till it's too late.

It’s not I don’t care. It’s I’m scared to check

 

[ramlee]

Everyday stinkies cannot live without rice, noodles, bread etc

Win my pigu

If don’t eat these will field hungry

 

[Lance321]

sg needs to declare a bigger war on kidney disease as more and more people are getting it including younger ones.

Is linked to sugar also

 

[Reborn]

Still no sugar tax, how to win diabetes?

 

[Krabs.]

more bubble tea franchise everywhere

 

[stingray1211]

diabetes is a personal problem.

if you can't be bothered to change anything .. don't blame anyone else or expect others to help .

same as BBFA , bui bui is a choice. forever alone is a choice.

[icebleue]

No, u cant win until u demolish hawker centers. Become like europe and us. Everyone cooks their own food. Confirm fresh and healthy.

Its coming soon with high rental, older hawkers retiring and new hawkers convert hawker centres into a hipster supper place...

 

[Whimsica]

I think younger sinkies are more conscious and making healthier lifestyle choices.

The bubble tea queue and time spent lying in bed/ sofa staring at phone/ tablet say otherwise.

In fact I am seeing more 40- and 50-something starting to run, bike, gym, go for fitness classes etc and monitoring their health and level of activities through smart watches and apps.

 

[Mancunian2]

Yeah, in Malaysia, almost one in five is diabetic.

does the bolehland government still subsidise sugar?
