Pancreatitis in Patients Taking Byetta for Diabetes
IGPSdXttn3M
Since the beginning of this site I have recommended good
dietary practices for controlling blood glucose associated with type 2
diabetes. I feel it is better to use diet instead of drugs whereever possible. This
is supported by the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study conducted by the
National Institute of Health. http://www.niddk.nih.gov/patient/dpp/dppos.htm (Health.%20http:/www.niddk.nih.gov/patient/dpp/dppos.htm)
After 2.8 years in the study, the incidence of diabetes in
the placebo group was 11 per 100 people. In the metformin group, the incidence
was only 7.8 per 100 people. But the diet/lifestyle group had the best
results of all: only 4.8 of every 100 developed diabetes. In other words, diet

Spices, Herbs Boost Health for Diabetics

FRIDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Spices may do more than flavor your food: New research suggests a shake of this and a pinch of that could also boost the health of diabetics.
Researchers bought 24 herbs and spices and found that many appear to have the power to inhibit tissue damage and inflammation brought on by high blood-sugar levels in the body.
