I read a post written by Kelly titled "Dear Diabetes Orgs & Society as a Whole", I decided to blog about what it feels like being diagnosed with T-1/1.5 diabetes and not having a (offline) support system like the JDRF or ADA.True StoryWhen I was diagnosed with Type 1.5 diabetes I was 23 years old. I wasn't a child, teenager or T-2. I was a healthy 23 year old newlywed. I was a homeowner. I enjoyed waffles for breakfast and going to Sonic's to grab a Route 44 Cherry Slush. I was focused on work, married life, being an armywife and going back to college. Some how, Some way....

I value what is unique in meEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Uniqueness: I value what is unique in me I value my own specialness and I dare to reveal it. Since the universe expresses itself through the differences in all of creation, I choose to acknowledge my own uniqueness. My inner self speaks through the nonconformity that I am. Today I applaud nonconformity and the differences within my life. I am free of the need to please others or to conform to what they are. When I am true to myself, I easily and lovingly express my own opinions and beliefs without fear of rejection. My self-worth is not on the line when I recognize the uniqueness in myself and others. I do not have to agre...

Is Being An Aggressive Patient Always Smart?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve had a huge don’t mess with me attitude. I’m a scrawny Jewish girl, but am quite in touch with my inner Rambo. It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I am a really aggressive cancer patient. But lately I’ve been wondering if aggressive is always the smartest choice. Sometimes I’m aggressive out of fear. Living with cancer is damn scary. It’s easy to want to pull out the big guns so I can feel forceful in fighting my disease. My doc told me I could lower the dosage of my medication slightly. Instead of embracing the prospect of diminished side effe...

They think we do not have enough of it, or that it isn’t the right kind. They see its significance everywhere. One school would allow man or woman no flavor for their fare and the other would have us all on a straight pepper diet. We want to stay out of this controversy.

By: Jolene, Penn State University, Guest Blogger and Rebecca Times have changed over the last decade. Super size meals have come on board at fast food restaurants. The large beverages became the new small drinks and portion sizes of pretty much everything have more than doubled. I’ve always wondered, which could be worse, the large sodas or the double portion sizes? As a runner myself, I have been concerned about soda consumption and link to fracture risk. Fractures are a huge deal to me, because they could delay my competitive season — or end it. Until recently, I have always wondered how soda consumption ca...

Adult onset diabetes, like the common ulcer of a few years ago, makes a lot of work and provides a lot of money for the medical system. There was a cure for the biological disease of stomach ulcers but the doctors were telling us it was stress-related (Everything is stress-related to some extent, as the Pauling research that won a Nobel Prize for Vitamin therapy [especially 'C'] has proven.) and many people suffered under the surgeon’s knife until recently.

Thanks to Philip over at Furious Seasons, we find that suicide rates for 2006 (the last year the government has data for) remain virtually unchanged from 2005 and 2004. Despite the dire warnings we heard about the decline of antidepressant medications (due to an FDA-mandated “black box” warning) leading to a huge spike in suicide rates, it appears not to be the case. The real story here is that the pundits and experts warning of such spikes were all wrong, and that the suicide rates have basically remained stable for the past few years. Antidepressant medications are a valuable treatment option for the million...

Spouses and Alcoholic RelapseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Partner’s Criticism Linked to Relapse A new study published in Behavior Therapy apparently confirms that Al-Anon’s purpose of offering "understanding and encouragement" to those with drinking problems is best approach family members can take in dealing with the situation. The study, conducted by William Fals-Stewart of the State University of New York at Buffalo, found that men recovering from substance abuse are less successful if they believe their spouse or partner is critical of them, rather than supportive. The study found that of 106 married men studied, those who reported greater criticism fro...

10 Benefits of LoveEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
“I need somebody to love,” sang the Beatles, and they got it right. Love and health are intertwined in surprising ways. Humans are wired for connection, and when we cultivate good relationships, the rewards are immense. But we’re not necessarily talking about spine-tingling romance. "People who fall in love say it feels wonderful and agonizing at the same time.” All those ups and downs can be a source of stress. Says Harry Reis, PhD, co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Human Relationships. “There is very nice evidence that people who participate in satisfying, long-term relationships fare better on a whole va...

Boys and Girls: Not As Different As We ThoughtEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
For decades, psychologists and researchers have been telling us the same old thing — boys and girls are fundamentally different. Their brains are different, their childhood development is different, their perceptions of the world around them are different. It’s the old nature versus nurture debate, with many parents unmistakably believing that nature is the primary force in a child’s development and that all parents can do is hang on for the ride. But a new book by Lise Eliot, PhD, suggests that many of these differences are what we, the adults, make of them. She’s done the equivalent of a meta-anal...

What Makes Us Happy? Joshua Wolf Shenk on HappinessEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In June of this year, Joshua Wolf Shenk published the fascinating essay “What Makes Us Happy?” in The Atlantic. It was riveting. Joshua spent about a month in the file room of the Harvard Study of Adult Development hoping to learn the secret of happiness. The project is one of the longest-running and probably the most exhaustive longitudinal studies of mental and physical well-being in history. Basically, for 72 years researchers at Harvard have been following 268 men who entered college in the late 1930s–following them through war, career, marriage and divorce, parenthood and grandparenthood, and old ag...

Insulin 1st-Line for Type 2 Diabetes?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Type 2 diabetes is on the rise. It’s one of the diseases afflicting humans that is often preventable. Preventable because lifestyle plays a large role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is different from type 2 – it’s caused by the pancreas’ inability to produce insulin. On the other hand, in type 2 diabetes, the pancreas does produce insulin but either not enough or the body can’t properly use the insulin that’s being produced. It used to be that type 1 diabetes was called juvenile diabetes and then the name changed to insulin-dependent diabetes. Orig...

Agnostic Twelve StepsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
For agnostics who would like to work the steps, this version of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous provides slightly different wording of the six steps that make reference to God or a Higher Power. This version of the Twelve Steps seems to have originated in agnostic A.A. groups in California. 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe and to accept that we needed strengths beyond our awareness and resources to restore us to sanity. [Original: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.] 3. Made a decision to entrust ...

Time to Sexual BlissEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Sex takes 3 to 13 minutes, study says This story may help people who are discovering their new sexuality in recovery. Recovery from alcoholism, addiction, gambling and co-dependency is a journey of discovery of self. And, self includes ones own sexuality. Maybe men had it right all along: It doesn’t take long to satisfy a woman in bed. A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life. If that sounds like good new...

'Magnetic' adult stem cells for heartsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Magnetism is so cool. From the BBC:Heart attacks and other vascular injuries could eventually be treated using regular injections of magnetised stem cells, experts say....The idea behind the targeted therapy is to get as many of the reparative stem cells as possible to the area of damage.To achieve this the UK scientists coated the stem cells with minute magnetic particles.When these stem cells were injected into the blood stream it was then possible to control their movement using a magnet.In trials, the magnetic targeting led to a five-fold increase in cell localisation at a site of vascular injury in rats.Scientists inv...
