Santa Frees Himself Of Diabetes

Filed in archive Information on December 24, 2006

Well...okay. Whatever it takes to get people to pay attention! Although I have to admit, that picture of the 'buff' Santa Claus is nothing short of terrifying.

Following weeks of nutritional therapy and exercise, Santa Claus today declared himself free of type-2 diabetes and produced lab test results showing a fasting glucose level of 96 mg/dL - well below the diabetes definition of 126mg/dL. Through the month of December, Santa Claus has been working with a team of top nutritional advisors to reverse his diabetes. Thanks to his determined efforts to alter his diet and commit to regular exercise, Santa succeeded in overcoming the disease and is readying himself for a diabetes-free Christmas where he won't be eating any more milk and cookies.

Although the 'hook' is ridiculous, the article is nice and informative about Type 2 diabetes, and is worth a read.
