Diabetes Cartoon

Often times this is all too true for people with diabetes, they look and shockingly see that their blood sugar is at a dangerous level and they have to fix it fast. Maybe one day they won't have to worry so much about it and they will be able to live a mostly normal life, and be heroes to those around them. Diabetes is not like cancer because someone can not say 'I am a survivor' when it comes to diabetes as it will always be with them, forever until they die.

Diabetes Quick Fix

That is the title of the article I am to tell you about. But what can I really say about it? The recipe will not cure your diabetes in one meal. It may help control it and with other meals like it it is possible. But not just with this one meal. While the title is a good way to bring attention to the article it isn't always good to be misleading.

Spike in Diabetes Rates: China

The diabetes rates have gone up in China as the quality of life has gone up. Many things have changed in China along with the lack of exercise, the less healthy diets etc. I think that things like this need to be slowed down and even stopped. Not just in China but also everywhere else.

$20,000 Fund for Diabetes Research

Elijamal and FeulCo raised $20,000 for diabetes research, this fundraising event only took place in fifteen locations around the country even though there were countless gas stations that it could have been at. People showing support and raising money for diabetes shows that everyone wants to see the research be done to help people with diabetes. Hopefully this will allow more money to be donated and more medication to be made.

Santa has Diabetes?

Article Source
I doubt the childhood spirit of Christmas has diabetes but it is a good representation of what could happen. Its up to you to not eat 'all the cookies' like Santa did in this comic. It was up to him to keep himself from getting diabetes and he wasn't able to do it. Are you like Santa? You can control if you get Type Two diabetes, or you can try to control it.

Glaxo

A new once-weekly diabetes injection drug is seeking approval. Several studies were sent to the board for review all pointing to this injection being the best and most capable thing to help people with diabetes. Approving this drug will be a step in the right direction, maybe the next step is once a month.

Diabetes Drug Helps Cancer Patients

A diabetes drug has been shown to not only help people with diabetes, but also people with prostate cancer, early stages of pancreatic cancer and even oral tumors due to recent studies. These studies were presented to the Cancer Association in Chicago on Saturday. Finding out that a diabetes drug causes side effects that are helpful and not harmful is an amazing thing, and to find it helps something like cancer it is even better.
