ASHRAF MD RADZI  - VASCULAR & GENERAL SURGEON Pembukaan             Penyakit kencing manis (Diabetes Mellitus)   memang sudah menular di kalangan masyarakat Malaysia semenjak ekonomi negara semakin maju. Kesan kemajuan ekonomi ini telah dilihat di negara-negara barat yang telah mencapai kemajuan jauh lebih awal di mana statistik memperlihatkan bahawa apabila pertambahan jangka hayat kehidupan (life expectancy) meningkat, kadar penyakit diabetes meningkat, dan kadar obesiti dalam masyarakat juga meningkat. Kesan kematian disebabkan penyakit-penyakit berjangkit sudah berkurangan apabila tahap kebersihan semakin baik tetapi digantikan dengan penyakit yang berkaitan dengan pemakanan.             Penyakit hyperkolesterolemia, diabetes, gout, obesiti, kerosakan gigi dan penyakit kardiovaskular memang diakibatkan oleh pemakanan yang salah.
