Today's Issue: Thoughts on NBC Diabetes Special Report
NBC hosted a special report on diabetes this past weekend. Surprisingly, it wasn't plagued with misinformation. NBC gets a standing ovation for pitching natural food and exercise as a means to treat elevated blood sugar. However, sometimes effectively sinking your teeth into a situation requires dissecting the cause. What do you think causes elevated blood sugar? Share your thoughts on the NBC diabetes special report and hear what Allie has to say about the program.

I did not watch the Special on NBC Allie, but feel that NBC or any other network should devote an entire program to T1DM only.
There already exists more monies, Physicians, Public Relations, Healthcare Providers, CDE's, magazine articles, new Pharmaceuticals and TV/Radio spots that only focus on IRD(Type 2 Diabetes) but fail to recognize that it is a "different" Disease entity. So long as they hear the word Diabetes, than it is assumed that all is well.
I am not interested in IRD...........only in Type 1 Diabetes (period).

I am only interested in type one diabetes also. Type-one and type-two diabetes is two totally different diseases. People that don't have diabetes think they are pretty much the same thing. Everything you see on t.v. or read about in magazines is usually about type 2 diabetes more attention needs to be spent on type 1.

Your resident conspiracy theorist piping up: You're getting the picture--scrunch ALL diabetes under one label, to the detriment of patients, and the only beneficiaries are the profiteers (pharma/healthcare). Allowing the two diseases to be addressed as a single disease serves neither diabetic population well. Neither form is a "one size fits all" disease . . . but to lump them together generates confusion and somehow diminishes the seriousness of either.

IF YOU DRINK 'natural' TEA ... always add 'A SPOON-FULL of SUGAR' to every cup TO HELP PREVENT DIABETES?
MON.03.MAR.2008 {www.tinyurl.com/2naw2z} international press releases c/o Dr Graham Rena [of Neurosciences Institute, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, University of Dundee] identifying new & substantial HYPOglycemia effectors which "mimic insulin" and are contained within TEA drinks [as published in "Aging Cell" (MAR.2008) 7, pp69-77].

IF YOU DRINK 'natural' TEA ... eat CAFFEINE or COFFEE on different days TO HELP PREVENT DIABETES?
More recently, on TUE.04.MAR.2008 {www.tinyurl.com/29cbot}, Dr Mark Hamer [of Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London] has definitively associated 'dysglycemia' effects of both caffeine & tea and more-so ... a tea & caffeine combination factor [EG a 'pain-killer including a caffeine ingredient' taken with tea] 'combined dysglycemia effect' which may be sufficient to suggest that the combined HYPOglycemia effectors of tea & caffeine may even cause diabetes [probably as a 'chronic defense mechanism' against 'Relative HYPOglycemia Distress' (RHOD)].
