Advertorial  

Snoring increases diabetes risk.  A recent study in the American Journal of Epidemiology Vol. 155, No. 5 : 387-393 indicated that snoring was an independent risk factor in the eventual diagnosis of diabetes. In addition irregular sleep patterns have been associated with hormonal imbalance, possibly affecting fasting glucose values. If you have diabetes and live with a snorer, your interrupted sleep patterns can affect your glucose as well.  

Traditional products often have side effects and are not highly successful in reducing or eliminating snoring.   The ingredients in GlucoFree SnoreQuell are proven to decrease or eliminate snoring without raising blood glucose levels. Learn More here.

This Weeks Item Revisited:

Item #3 Item Revisited: June 12, 2000  Issue 4 two years ago

AVANDIA MAY SLOW TYPE 2 PROGRESSION

(Watch for Actos to make same claim to fame)


It only makes sense that all the insulin sensitizers will slow the progression of type 2 diabetes.
If you make the cells more sensitive to the bodies own insulin, it doesn't have to produce as much and you won't overwork the pancreas as much, therefore helping to prevent beta cell depletion.
