Diabetes can lead you to this. The key phrase is prevention is better than cure.
People who are not active when they were young are going to regret when they reach 40 years old. We all know that it is at 40 years old that the Army allows us to be exempted in the army for non-commissioned officers and below. I was exempted of the National Service from 40. It is at this age that the knee will give way for many - active as well as the inactive. Studies show that the meniscus problem starts from 40 years of age for the inactive and 45 years of age for the inactive. Hence, it is better to exercise. People who did not exercise will be spending more than half of the life-saving for health and they are in for a rude shock. It is good to understand that the government is looking for alternatives like exercise as a way to cut health care cost rather than just keep giving them health care service.
The sad fact is that this activity if there is an indulgence, will lead to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Also, diabetes is now a growing trend among the rich as well as the above average in income. When diabetes comes in many, we will be forced to take restricted diet and this will only make our life on earth not enjoyable and we will be asked to take insulin (usually from animals) to lower our blood sugar level daily. One will be told by the doctor to exercise daily or most of the time. There is no cure for diabetes. It is good to go for a check-up as to whether one has diabetes or not if possible 2 years once.
Injection for Type 1 diabetes, might come when you are young.

The number of adults worldwide with diabetes has more than doubled in three decades, jumping to an estimated 347million, a new study reported.
Much of that increase is due to ageing populations and population growth, but part of it has also been fuelled by rising obesity rates.
With numbers climbing almost everywhere, experts said the disease is no longer limited to rich countries and is now a global problem.
"Diabetes may well become the defining issue of global health for the next decade,", said Professor Majid E#zzati, chair of global environmental health at Imperial College London, one of the study author. "We are not at the peak of this wave yet, " he said.
Countries in which the numbers rose fastest include Cape Verde, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Papua New Guinea, and the United States.
Women in Singapore, France, Italy and Switzerland remained relatively slim and had virtually no change in their diabetes rates.
The study was published yesterday in the journal Lancet.
Director of research at Diabetes UK, Mr Iain Frame, said the bigger challenge was to persuade people to adopt healthier lifestyles. " We have a fair idea of how to prevent Type 2 diabetes - you have to move more and eat less'" he said. "But putting it into practice across a wide population is another question altogether.
