New Research in Fight Against Alzheimer’s

]]> Research with Alzheimer’s and diabetes both seem to get more exciting every day. Don’t you think? Here’s some more exciting news: N60. The name “N60″ is something you’ll hear more and more because it is a specific section of “RanBP9, a protein that has proven key in Alzheimer’s research. According to Science Daily, RanBP9 “increases the production of the amyloid beta protein,” which is important because patients with Alzheimer’s have an extreme amount of this protein. More so than those without the disease.

In short, the hope is that discovering what makes this “amyloid beta protein” go gangbusters in patients will lead to stopping the progression. And therefore, the disease.

My Massive Low Blood Sugar the Night Before Thanksgiving

]]> Hey Guys,

I’m back from the long Thanksgiving weekend…………… ah…………….

Did you get to take any time off? I hope so. I’ve learned that my blood sugars are much more manageable when I rest and take life at a reasonable pace.

I want you all to know that I did say a prayer for all my fellow diabetics out there! I want you all to be happy, healthy, and strong!

Of course, the night before Thanksgiving, I was thinking about all the stuff I had to do and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Wouldn’t you know it, I had a massive low blood sugar that night. Ugh. Doesn’t it figure?

It didn’t matter, though, My family and I had a lovely day and I hope you did too.

I came across this quote that I think you might enjoy:

There are no miracles for those that have no faith in them.
— French proverb

For me, every day is filled with miracles. The fact that I’m a diabetic during a time when we know so much about the disease and we have the use of insulin is truly a miracle. And for those that hope, we might be able to call a cure a miracle one day too. One day…..

For now, I’ll be back in a bit with all the latest diabetic news. Until then, be sure to check out the Diabetes Notes Shopping Page for some great items for the diabetic in your life!
