Women constitute 53% of the earth's population. They perform two-thirds of the world's work for which they earn 10% of the income. They own 1% of the property and they have 100% of the children. Given these statistics, women should hold the majority of the political power in the world. - Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician, anti-nuclear activist, author of If You Love This Planet We don't because we are too tired from looking after our families, jobs and homes.

Magnesium Bisglycinate. Magnesium bisglycinate is an essential mineral needed for more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.

Magnesium Bisglycinate

This mineral is required for the formation of healthy bones and teeth, protein and fatty acid formation, activating B vitamins, supporting muscle activity, nerve transmission, relaxing blood vessels, clotting blood, temperature regulation and ensuring intestinal mobility also called bowel movements. Magnesium bisglycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. This binding makes the magnesium highly absorbable. For example you would have to take 4 times the amount of magnesium citrate to get the equivalent amount of magnesium bisglycinate. The bisglycinate form of magnesium does not require stomach acid for absorption as it passes into the cell via its amino acid transport which means even those with poor digestion or absorption get the benefits.

Stress of all types including chemical, emotional, hormonal or physical stress depletes magnesium from the body. Finally Pregnant! Type 1 Diabetes: Etiology, Immunology, and Therapeutic Strategies. Intervention trials are more affordable than prevention trials, because potential subjects are readily identified and efficacy can be evaluated within a much shorter time frame.

Type 1 Diabetes: Etiology, Immunology, and Therapeutic Strategies

Current post-onset treatments are either substitutive (e.g., the many formulations of insulin), palliative (long-term use of anti-inflammatory and/or immune suppressive agents), antigen specific (islet antigen-induced Tregs), or combinations thereof. A. Antigen-Specific Intervention Trials in T1D In general, the idea behind antigen-based therapies is to induce Treg responses (active tolerance) or anergizing/deleting pathogenic T cells (passive tolerance) without having the side effects of long-term immune suppression. Tolerizing against insulin or GAD65 has been rather effective in experimental settings (128, 222, 432). Table 3. Intervention trials and Ag-specific monotherapy. Understanding Fasting Blood Sugar. Among the most common questions people have about Type 2 diabetes is this: how can they lower their fasting blood sugar?

Understanding Fasting Blood Sugar

To answer this question in a way that will help you lower your blood sugar we are going to have to first explain why doctors measure fasting blood sugar and what it does--and does not--tell us about our blood sugar health. Traditionally, fasting blood sugar is the value you get when you test your blood sugar after an 8 hour long fast--which is usually immediately upon waking. In a normal person this fasting blood sugar would also be the "baseline" blood sugar--the level to which blood sugar returns a few hours after every meal all day long. However, for reasons we will discuss later on, this is often NOT the case for people with Type 2 diabetes, whose morning blood sugars may be much higher than the baseline level they achieve after meals for the rest of the day.

But the FPG test is cheap and easy to administer, hence its popularity.
