Tears instead of Blood to Test Glucose? Wow!
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona are developing a new type of self-monitoring blood glucose sensor that would measure glucose in tear fluid, Testing may give an indication of glucose levels in the blood as accurately as a test using a blood sample, the researchers said.
"This new technology might encourage patients to check their blood sugars more often, which could lead to better control of their diabetes by a simple touch to the eye," said Jeffrey T. LaBe
Nutrition in Bread: The Problems with Enriched White Flour
Manufacturers do not like whole grain products because they go bad quickly and attract pests. These pests seem to be “highly educated” on white flour because knowing probably that it is not good, they stay away from it. We should follow their example. Instead, we seemed to be hooked on the white “enriched” flours that not only have [...]

Roasted Celery Root with Prosciutto
"And the winner of the ugly vegetable award goes to....celery root!" Sometimes called root celery, knob celery or celeriac, this scary-looking vegetable is extremely low in calories, carbs and sodium while also being a good source of calcium and potassium. I've always been curious about this vegetable, but its appearance in the vegetable bin has kept me from picking it up, much less trying it, until now.

Can a Healthy Skin and Aging Go Together?

Never Say Never Again
Even though it only lasted fifteen minutes, I felt today's endocrinologist appointment was much more productive and less rushed than the past couple times. (Hmm, has he been reading my blog posts? The ones where I considered switching to an internist for my diabetes care, hmm?)The bigger news, but shorter conversation surrounded the 6.1% that came back as my A1C level, up from 5.8%. While my endocrinologist did not insist I needed to go on medication, he gently steered me in that direction, whic

National Nutrition Month 2011 -- How Can I Add More Fruits / Veggies to my Diet?
It is recommended that we eat anywhere between 5 and 9 servings of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, however, less than half of our population achieves that. According to a 2010 Gallup Poll, nationwide, less than half of Americans (46.6%) report eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables on five or more days per week, but 32.7% do so two to four days per week and 19.4% do so one or fewer days per week. However many servings YOU may be currently eating - my goal is to help

Question of the Week: Low Glucose but High A1c?
The following question was submitted by a reader for discussion on my blog, "I was recently told by my doctor I have pre-diabetes and that I need to lose weight, eat right, and get my sugar levels down. On a 12 hour fast, my glucose level was 73 yet my A1C was 6.1%. If my glucose is low, why is my A1c still high? What can I do?"An A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin (the protein found
