The problem I have with the FDA ruling is that it does not go far enough and has created a discrepancy i.e. in Europe it has now been banned. Why the discrepancy on such a dangerous drug like Avandia? Why has the FDA only restricted access to it? We probably know the answer but we won't go there right now.
More importantly, it stresses the need for all of us to be extremely careful with our diet and exercise. It's the same old advice given out year after year and not just by this blogger - eat a sensible diet, watch your sugar and salt intake especially the processed kind and take exercise. These are just a few of the suggestions that could be made to just about any person if they wished to avoid or decrease the risk of contracting diabetes.
Be healthy and be happy.

Cinnamon Helps Control Blood Sugar
Such a simple idea. Add some to your tea or your home cooking such as biscuits and cake. All we need now is a nice pot of tea!

Statins and CoQ10 Deficiency
"CoQ10 is arguably our most important essential nutrient. Its role in energy production is to make possible the transfer of electrons from one protein complex to another (within the inner membrane of the mitochondria) to its ultimate recipient, ATP."
I have been taking Q10 for a few years now and have found it really helps in my energy levels. Q10 is not a magic pill that will suddenly give you energy you never had, it does what it is supposed to do - allow the transfer of energy that you take in, to the body more efficiently. Those over 50 especially those on medication like Lipitor should be on Q10 as well.
Even for those of you not on medication, Q10 is a very valuable supplement that will help you in your day to day life, taken regularly.

Too much glucosamine can cause the death of pancreatic cells, increase diabetes risk, researchers find
"High doses or prolonged use of glucosamine causes the death of pancreatic cells and could increase the risk of developing diabetes, according to a team of researchers at Université Laval's Faculty of Pharmacy."
I know glucosamine is recommended especially for those with aches and pains in their joints but it pays to be careful when taking these alternative supplements. Always consult your doctor especially if you are already on medication and never exceed the stated dose. If in doubt, ask.

Lethal pancreatic cancer 'grows for decades'
"The Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund welcomed the findings, but said that research was underfunded in the UK."
That statement underlines the problem with the treatment of this and other forms of cancer. So, it is imperative that we all do what we can to be healthy. Eat a sensible diet, Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Definitely no drugs! Take regular exercise when you can, it does not matter what it is.
Most importantly, stay happy. Being happy is all part of the mix as far as being healthy is concerned. Being happy will help you to feel better about yourself and so many other things. I know, especially right now in the world, that it is difficult to be happy with so many bad things going on in the world but we must all try a little bit harder.
Do something that makes you happy this weekend whatever it is. Just going for a walk to the park if you can, sitting quietly and watching the world go by can be something that brings you peace. Especially if you have children, walking to a local park and watching them play can be very joyful. I love photography and there are many people that do. If you can, take some photos or get someone who can to take some photos and share them, it is a very nice feeling.

The Grand Pier Weston Super Mare
“They have also confirmed that we will have access from today to start fitting out the building with our fixtures and fittings.
Assuming this all goes to plan, we believe that we can open in time for the school half-term holidays starting on October 23rd."
http://grandpier.blogspot.com/
I hope, along with many others that we do see the re-opening of the pier, it has been too long since the original fire in 2008. I visited the pier and beach front again this summer and it looks like they have done a good job. I hope that the business community can recover and help to get Weston back to where it belongs, as one of the premier places to visit.
