Diabetes-It's All About the Weight Baby
It was my second visit to my new doctor in Pueblo, Colorado back about 8-9 years ago. I didn't know him from Adam. I had taken a battery of blood tests called a lipid profile on my first visit. Let me digress a little.

Diabetes-Worse for Minorities?
Diabetes is a potentially life threatening disease that affects over 21 million Americans who know they have it and countless millions more who either have it and don't know it or are on their way to getting it and don't have a clue.
It is rapidly becoming a world wide epidemic due to chan…

Sleep Study Test

If you have ever had one you know how much fun they are. If you haven't had one chances are about 1/3 if you are over 60 and have diabetes that you will have one. I don't want to give you the answers but here are some hints.

More on the Amaaazing Diet
When I wrote the post yesterday I probably should have elaborated a bit more. Here it is!!
There is no doubt about the nexus between obesity and diabetes.
Over half of all Americans are either overweight or obese. If those people who don't already have diabetes want to avoid getting it-LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF.
If you already have diabetes and are overweight, you can control your diabetes by LOSING WEIGHT AND KEEPING IT OFF.

This computer is one of those things that will kill me! I defantly know nothing about it, but I'm learning. No need to thank me I thank you for accepting me. I can be a pain in the you know what . If I have a really bad day. I tend to take it out on the ppl around me and can even get really short on the computer. So watch ouy! Atleast I warned you ahead of time that's more than they get around here! HA! Your popcorn sounds delisous! I want to get to know you on here. You sound like you have the right attitude! I plain to keep smiling no matter what! I have one teen daughter at home and another who married her husband last year after she found out that she was expecting. If me and my Southern values made it through that I can make it through anythintg! HA!
I wish I could send everyone some. It is so good and so bad for us-at least theway I make it and eat it.
Keep smiling-:}
Jack
