There has been a lot of news this week about the impact of artificially created organic chemicals on our bodies. Now a major new finding comfirms what I have been suspecting all along: Bisphenol-A suppresses adiponectin--the hormone in fat that is part of the system that regulates how much additional fat our bodies put away.Bisphenol-A is found in hard plastics like water bottles and baby bottles. It is also used in the lining of food cans, which means if you ever eat commercially prepared foods you are exposed to it, since much restaurant food starts out in cans. Here's a good write up abou

I'm coming up fast on my 22nd anniversary with diabetes, and one of the things I've had as part of my management arsenal is Kitty. Kitty was the stuffed animal cat that my parents bought for me before I went in for my 12 day hospital stay after diagnosis. Kitty used to have fur, and visible eyes, and other cat parts, but he's since been matted and hugged into this almost unrecognizable blog.Kitty turns 22 next week, and it's amazing to realize that diabetes has been in my life for that long.Do you have any diabetes benchmarks hiding in your linen closet, or under your bed,

The Deer Man, continued from Day Four...The old man sat in a chair, no walker nearby, so I knew he was one of the healthier ones. Still, his body arched over the table like he was half of a rainbow and I was reminded of Homer Simpson?s evil boss.I shrugged and started to turn away, but he stopped me with a grunt.?Figures,? he said. ?Guess the boy?s too chicken to play a decent game of chess with an old man.?I smiled at this, and sat myself down across from the man. There was something to him. He wasn?t like everyone else in the home. He was smart...and manipulative. I thought I just might co

Her “live” blog will be displayed in a viewer window on the main Pink Ribbon Review website (thanks to software provided by CoveritLive). It’s like instant messaging — except you d

Keeping with my concerns this week? Will cancer now be added to the long list of complications associated with diabetes? Like there wasn?t enough already! Eating higher carbohydrate foods and more sugar lead to higher blood sugar, higher blood sugar leads to diabetes.
The Swedish research, which looked at 64,500 people, linked raised blood sugar with pancreas, skin, womb, and urinary tract cancers in women.
It tends to make sense when you think about the physiology of diabetes. In very elementary terms, the pancreas is what produces the insulin in your body. Insulin is a hormone that the body

With the Stand up to Cancer airing this evening simultaneously across the networks- September 5, 2008, at 8:00 PM(EST)…
The new magic number is 16 among diabetic researchers. Scientists identified 6 new genes which play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes and among the group is the second gene known to also play a role in prostate cancer.
By researching how the prostate and diabetic related gene works, we see how raising the risk of one condition can also protect against the other. These type of results are promising for further medications and sources of treatment.

So there have been a lot of headlines lately about Byetta and pancreatitis. We think these headlines have created unnecessary alarm for patients and believe that the facts haven?t been well stated. Thirty-six patients have reported pancreatits, including six that have died. But more than one million people have been on Byetta.
Consider the context: in the population of people without diabetes, 1 in 3,000 would be expected to develop pancreatitis, compared to 3 in 3,000 for people with diabetes. So doing the math, if 1,000,000 people have taken Byetta, it would be expected that about 1,000 peo

Raise your hand if you've ever felt unique, because of your diabetes.Raise your other one if you're convinced that yours is the freakingist, hardest, most complex case ever.And now, jump up and down when you hear that the autosomal recessive gene curse has struck again.. and the thing you're being tested for, is something that about 250 people in the US have. That the nephrologist, who has been in practice for 35 years, has never seen before.Bartter's Syndrome.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years, meeting with a diabetes educator individually or as part of a group is one of the best things you can do to understand how to manage your diabetes (or brush up). Unfortunately, a lot of people don't get much diabetes education, whether because of lack of insurance coverage, lack of access to a diabetes educator or to group classes, lack of time, or another obstacle....

The note is written in a brown ink sharpie and attached to a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in my fridge. It says ?Take a Break.?No, it?s not in my wife?s handwriting. It?s in my own.Personally, I don?t think I drink too much, but over the last couple of months I?ve gone from not having a drop of alcohol for over a decade to drinking two glasses of red wine every night when I get home from work.I don?t think I have a problem, and my HDL, in the mid-50s has never been better and is spectacular for a man. No elevations in liver function either. So what?s the problem?Perception.My wife perceives th
