So the answer is none other than Nick Jonas, the lead singer and guitarist for Jonas Brothers. This one should have been a little big harder unless you’re a teenager in love with Nick. Still, this one was not too hard to get things going. Here are the stats:

It's not you, it's me
Or maybe it's neither of us. Last week I saw a link to an article in the Chicago Tribune about diabetes. Basically, the point of the article was that Type 1 diabetics are "tired" of being linked to Type 2 diabetics and want a a new name for their disease. The title of the article even hinted at a "diabetes civil war" - that we are fighting against ourselves.Well, you can count me as one person that is NOT in that fight. Back in June at the Roche Social Media Summit, that is the very point t

The Secret of an Anti Inflammation Diet
Anti inflammation chickens
Inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, and many others. Because of the way cows, chickens, and the like are fed, their products have a disproportion of bad fats versus good fats. This fact is causing a high level of inflammation among the population. The solution? An anti inflammation diet.

Question of the week: Candies and Diabetes
The following question was posed by a reader, "I have type 2 diabetes. I'm kind of addicted to jawbreaker candy (especially fireballs). How harmful is it to eat these candies and what alternatives should I try... Is fruit a good alternative?"Fruit is definitely a good alternative - in addition to the vitamins, minerals, and fiber it contains (as compared to candy), you will be allotted a larger serving for the same amount of calories and carbohydrate grams. If you really have a craving for can
Inhaled Cortisone Raises Risk of Diabetes By 34% and Worsens Existing Cases
As someone who saw her marginal blood sugar control deteriorate dramatically and permanently after a single course of prednisone I know that cortisone can cause permanent damange to blood sugar control.

Prescription cortisones had either made them diabetic or, if they were diabetic but in good control, the cortisones had made their blood suga

Frosted Blueberry Cream Delight
With the warmer weather approaching, you'll want to try this yummy recipe. Lately, this has been my go-to snack late in the afternoon or for dessert. When the fat-free half & half is added to the frozen blueberries, it immediately coats the berries in cream and freezes into a slushy, soft serve "ice cream" that is very refreshing. I use the smaller, lowbush wild variety of blueberry that has been shown to contain more of the polyphenol antioxidants and anthocyanins than it's larger highbush

Of course, it was nearly impossible to eat anything but marvelous Italian food, but I was fortunate to discover an unassuming family-run place called Tattoria Antonio near the Patheon that offered Italian favorites with beans, instead of pasta, which ended up being my favorite restaurant of the trip.

The bill he vetoed did not allow stem cell research to be funded properly by the government, while the many millions of people like me could be cured from the research.

Type 2 diabetics need to know about bread. (2010)

17 Causes of Heart Palpitations
Heart palpitations
Heart beats are not felt under normal conditions, but when we feel them, we call them palpitations. We have the tendency to panic when we experience them because we are not familiar with the causes of heart palpitations since, for obvious reasons, we associate them with heart disease.
However, there is no need to be alarmed because palpitations are not necessarily a symptom of our heart throwing in the towel.
Normally, the heart beats between 60 and 100 times

Currently available in my local supermarket are extra large strawberries from California. As big and beautiful as they appear, their taste lacks the sweetness that you get from the smaller berries.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recently, my daughter asked if I could send a "care package" from home with some of my healthy chocolate chip cookies. Looking over my collection of recipes, I discovered I didn't have one for plain chocolate chip cookies -- so I went to work creating one. These cookies are delicious, with a satisfying burst of chocolate, but only 6 carbs each! The substitution of almond flour in place of most of the high-carb, low nutrition density white flour makes them a healthier choice than traditional cook

Here Is How the Body Maintains Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
Exercise for healthy blood sugar levels
High blood glucose levels stimulate the release of insulin and inhibit glucagon secretion, leading to decreased blood sugar levels. On the other hand, low blood glucose levels inhibit insulin secretion and stimulate the release of glucagon, leading to a rise in blood glucose. These mechanisms help maintain your healthy blood sugar levels.

However, their functions, although related to glucose, are very different. To clarify them and their roles in our body, I have put together a brief explanation of each one.

A List of Oral Medications for Diabetes 2 Treatment: DPP 4 Inhibitors
Lungs
A kind of new diabetes 2 treatment is a medication called DPP-4 inhibitors. It works by blocking DPP-4, the enzyme that breaks down GLP-1, a natural substance found in our intestines, with a structure similar to protein. When GLP-1 is released, it stimulates insulin secretion, slows the intestinal absorption of glucose, and reduces appetite.
Unfortunately, GLP-1 is broken down very quickly (in a few minutes) by DPP-4. DPP-4 inhibitors prevent this rapid breakdown of GLP
