type 2 diabetes used to be called "adult-onset," but not anymore. that's because there's been a 1,000% increase in the number of kids getting adult-onset diabetes. obesity, all the way to full-blown type 2 diabetes, is actually a disease of too much insulin. so, what does insulin do? well, it opens the gates to let the sugar in your cells, and this keeps your blood sugar even. but when you produce too much insulin because of our industrialprocessed, high-sugar diet, your cells become numb to the effects of insulin, forcing your body to pump out more and more and more insulin just to keep your blood sugar in balance. this is called "insulin resistance." now, this turns into a vicious cycle that sounds like the side-effect list from a drug commercial. insulin resistance, the root cause of diabesity, causes you to gain belly fat, raises your blood pressure, messes up your cholesterol, makes you infertile, kills your sex drive stops your erections, makes you depressed, tired, and demented. it even causes cancer in millions of people every year. and all t

that glaxo withheld for several years, important data about the dangers of avandia the widely used diabeteshat, again, is a criminal violation. but i think the answer to your question is they don't learn. whereas it is an old saw that crime doesn't pay. i think the evidence -- we've done a study looking at 20 years of criminal and civil violations by the drug companies. crime does pay because these companies over and over again are getting caught, paying criminal penalties civil penalties saying, as you just did, we're different now and then a few years later they get caught again. they're making more money off of selling the drugs than they're paying penalties and none of the people from the large drug companies has ever gone to jail. we're currently suing the department of health and human services because they don't want to reveal publicly the agreement they have with pfizer. when pfizer was caught in 2004 with a $400 million fine for criminal civil activities, they signed an agreement called a corporate integrity agreement. we can't get the results of what happened in the agreement. we

other chronic conditions-asthma, hypertension, diabetes, what have you-if there is also an existing condition that's a mental health concern or a substance use disorder, untreated, those behaviors affect the successful treatment of the diabetes or what have you because of compliance to medications, lifestyle changes, whatever. so, i would add that. the other thing i would want to add is that in the screening brief intervention referral to treatment area, grants that samhsa gave to the states for demonstration of sbirt, in wisconsin, we elected to do that in primary healthcare settings. and, just a couple of barriers that i want to mention, in terms of really implementing that into primary healthcare settings, one is that primary care physicians simply do not have the time themselves, we found. they see patients for a very short period of time. they deal with an average of seven problems during that short period of time, and to take the time to really talk with somebody and screen them about substance use is very, very difficult. so, it would require, i think, probably the type of shift in the training that we spoke about earlier. dr. clark,
