Hello, readers!

One topic we rarely analyze is diabetes, which definitely touches all masses of people and families. This month’s ICAA Volume 8, No. 15 addresses a study of the link between monitoring your own glucose levels and developing a state of depression. This study, however, pertains to “non-insulin treated type 2 diabetes.” One thing I like to consider is this: monitoring is made much easier by new technological advances that make having diabetes less of a dreaded chore, especially for individuals forced to check glucose levels daily, as well as administer themselves daily shots of insulin. I encourage everyone to question medical service providers about new, more convenient methods and tools to treat his/her diabetes.

Also included in this issue:

1) “Eating regular meals lowers risk for metabolic syndrome”
2) “Hip and knee replacements rapidly increasing”
3) “Older adults receptive to personal monitoring technology”

….. And many more! Just click on the reference link below to access the article:
