Experts have been projecting a rise in diabetes cases for years now, owing largely to the growing number of overweight and obese individuals, who are at higher risk of developing the disease. But never before have the numbers soared this high—according to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of Americans with diabetes will likely triple by 2050.
Currently, one in 10 adults has diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to properly process the sugars found in food without the help of insulin injections. That number may climb to 33% of the adult population in a few decades.
The reasons, say experts, are primarily population-based. First, the risk of diabetes increases with age, as the body becomes less efficient at breaking down glucose. So as the American population continues to live longer, incidence of diabetes will rise as well. Second, the proportion of minority groups who are at greater risk of developing diabetes due to obesity and other factors, are also growing, adding to the burgeoning cases. And finally, while more people may be developing the disease, those who do become diabetic are living longer thanks to more efficient and effective insulin delivery methods that help them control their blood sugar.

Natlfy- It's VERY difficult to come by flour in Norway that is not all-purpose, rye, whole-wheat, spelt, or barley. Meaning, self-rising or any other type of enriched white flour is not common in the Norwegian kitchen, so i just use the regular old all-purpose for most of my baking needs.
