Creator of Diabetes Health Magazine, Scott King, has been a type 1 diabetic for over 34 years. Needless to say, he knows diabetes, and he is doing a remarkable job of introducing cutting-edge treatments for diabetics. In the first Diabetes Health TV broadcast, he shared interviews from the recent AADE Conference. A really exciting product he featured is called Neuragen - a topical treatment for diabetes neuropathy.

With diabetes neuropathy, people experience pain due to damage to the peripheral nerves. Neuropathic pain is often characterized by burning sensations or shooting pain, or may occur as numbness or chronic itching. Clinical trials have shown Neuragen to be effective in 70% of patients for the pain associated with diabetes. The ingredients are pretty kosher, too. Neuragen is made of a proprietary blend of essential oils from special species of geranium, lavender, bergamot, eucalyptus, and tea tree.

The Neuragen rep was blunt when he described the effective nature of this all natural product - using more does not make it any more effective! You have to admire his refreshing honesty. But like I said upfront - if Scott King is willing to spend the time getting the scoop on this product - it's probably worth your time using it.

New research shows that snoring doesn't have to be loud to cause health problems especially in women. Although women generally snore less and more softly than men, recent studies have shown women have a greater risk of some of the adverse effects of sleep apnoea and may not know they have type 2 diabetes.

Sleep apnoea historically has been a problem most associated with men. However, this new research reveals that women who experience sleep apnoea may have a greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Both, men and women, with sleep apnoea also tend to have risk factors for the metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, raised blood pressure and insulin resistance, which causes high levels of blood glucose and can lead to diabetes.

Here comes the rude awakening -- partners of men who snore seem to be more affected by the sleep apnoea. This is due to the fact that a man's snoring is characterized by louder gasps and snorts This keeps him awake, as well as anybody within earshot. However, because women's snoring is often much quieter and they tend to have partial or incomplete obstructions, their partner's sleep may not be disturbed and the sleep disorder may go unchecked. Now I lay me down to sleep, I beg of You the silence keeps!!

Imagine a place you can visit to connect with a friend living with diabetes, another family affected by diabetes, and a diabetic educator to learn ways to improve the quality of life with diabetes. Does such a place exist? Thanks to Children with DIABETS, it does!

According to a recent study, a high fat diet plus a molecule called resveratrol reduced the incidence of death significantly in mice.

The experiment compared two groups of mice, both consuming high fat diets. However one group was fed a high fat diet plus resveratrol. After 76 weeks into the study, 22% of the mice on the high fat diet (alone) were dead. The mice that consumed the high fat diet plus resveratrol had no deaths. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes. It is also an element of red wine, which may explain why the French have a much lower rate of coronary heart disease, despite their pension for foods high in saturated fat. As the mice aged, resveratrol seemed to control blood sugar, improve balance, and assist in maintaining healthy liver tissue.

Okay, in all fairness - I don't scurry around the catacombs of the New York Subway. I don't scavenge for food in the alleys behind busy restaurants and I don't leave waste where waste DOES NOT belong. I am no lab rat. However this study and the culinary customs of the French give me hope, I'd like to think that what I lack in dietary discipline can be offset with a fine Chianti. Cheers to resveratrol!
