When you get diabetes, it seems like you immediately hear about all the other things you are at risk for as well. That’s yet another reason why it can be such an emotional burden to get the disease.
I hear about a lot of things because I choose to be educated about diabetes. You have take the knowledge and then move on from it. Use it if it helps you, but if it’s something you really can’t do anything about, deal with it as best you can.
That’s the way I’d like you …read more

Sub-standard housing more than doubles diabetes risk, a team of U.S. researchers found, but they are not exactly sure why.
Are you kidding me? Does anyone else think that the results of this study are self explanatory? Sub-standard housing usually means government assisted or “section 8″ housing, right? Well, the persons that qualify for this assistance have economical challenges that others do not have.
Understand this, in no way am I passing judgment or “putting” anyone down. Heck, my kids public school is Title One, but why would scientists be puzzled at the findings of something so …read more
