Interesting Diabetes Links


Meanwhile, check out the following interesting blog entries on diabetes from my favorite blogs...

From The Biotech Weblog:

In animal trials, a compound called m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) which triggers serotonin receptors in the brain has been found to improve glucose tolerance and lower insulin levels in obese and diabetic mice.

The findings suggest a new strategy for treating type 2 diabetes via targeting the so-called serotonin 2C (5-HT2C) receptors.


From Diabetes Notes:

"You feed your kids rubbish - that's what most people think. It's ignorance and it's understandable, but it's quite hurtful. Having Type-1 diabetes has got nothing to do with diet. We don't have a family history of diabeteslinks - there's no rhyme or reason why he got it."

That is right out of the mouth of a mommy that has dealt with diabetes first hand. Little Ivan Bentley was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 5 years old.

Obviously we all want what's best for our children and will fight any battle we have to to make that happen but this particular Mum even fought the system to insure an insulin pump to aid Ivan in his day to day fight with diabetes.


Sometimes, I hate the weekends. Because (not always) if i enjoy it so much I have a hard time getting back to work. And for the past 22 months, updating various blogs has been my work. Though i should not really, I feel guilty if my blogs are not updated for days. But that only means I have life offline, right? ;-)

Friday is always my time to catch up on my back logs and to sometimes schedule posts for the weekend. But then last Friday, my internet went off for the whole day and the whole night - i totally lost my momentum.

Now I am struggling to get back...
