True Blue… That is what they are saying about the older, cheaper diabetic drugs. As if the newer, more expensive, highly debatable drugs needed anymore “bad type” press. This could hurt sales for such drugs as Avandia even further.

Just a quick update. My blood sugar is below 150 for the first time in over a week!!!!! Yee-ha! I am so happy right now. But boy did I have to work for this one. I think the steroid is leaving my adrenal gland alone and my pancreas is singing a happy dance right now! […]
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and McGill University in Montreal have identified yet another gene variant that raises a little one’s risk for type 1 diabetes. In the past few years, researchers have been searching for scientific basis’ to help in the treatment and preventive measures for diabetes. And we have certainly come […]
