Elevated iron stores, reflected in elevated plasma ferritin levels,
may induce baseline metabolic abnormalities that ultimately result in
diabetes.

I just had 9 posts deleted before I could read them.
How does this happen ?

i read some research where it said that diabetics produce only 50% of the
collagen (a protein forming the skin and connective tissue) that normal
people do
and so i decided to look at supplements

The paper version of the BMJ, with the article deciding that testing
is a waste of time, came out today. Unfortunately, the debate on-line
about it got neatly sidestepped (read, ignored), and the editorial by
this smug-looking bastard

I am supposed to test 3 times a day. This is not the "greenest" issue,
but somehow I do find it quite wasteful to discard a lancet after one
use.
I talked to nurses and staffers about it and every reason they gave me

"Do not eat food produced by publicly traded corporations. Remember,
large publicly traded companies are the enemy. They are producing
food
that is genetically modified, loaded with chemicals, growth hormones,

I've been reading this group for a couple days, this is my first
post.  I have a quick question about what an FBG is.  Is it just the
reading done first thing in the morning or is it also readings done
before lunch/dinner?  I'm curious because I've just started trialing a

Are all magnificant citizens. Have a great day.

I joined recently and ordered an emblem.  The whole point of this is for
the emblem to speak for you when you can't speak for yourself.  Well,
what I say when I'm conscious is to not give me IV glucose, but give me
saline instead.  That is what I wanted Medic Alert for.

Obese people underestimate the amount of sugar they eat, making
studies into the condition based on self-reporting very unreliable, UK
researchers say.

Addiction is a very poor word. It implies that the person cannot solve
a problem.   In so many cases that is proven to be untrue.
We condition ourselves to avoid self restraint and our rich
society allows the use of this excuse.

In the name of science (really, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it) I
had a 12 oz. frozen yogurt yesterday and another one tonight.
Now this isn't the best scientifically, because I did not check my BG before
eating the treats.  The VA gives me 50 strips per 90 days, so I'm ...

Now here's where I'd like to know opinions and theories. Science is
also welcome. Factual science is even better. Why is my husband's
(Andrew)BG higher in the morning after eating breakfast? His everyday
breakfast includes coffee, w/ heavy cream, stevia, veggies such as

Well, I start back to work tomorrow. I'm a little (lot :o) nervous. I'll
have to shift my daily 2.5 mile walk to the evenings since I have to be in
work at 7:15 AM and have a 45 minute commute. I usually wake at 5:30. I have
been throwing around the free weights a bit, so maybe I ...
