If you are like me, it seems like the number of emails that we get has jumped up. Often this increase in emails causes me to miss important ones, while I try to deletae all the spam that constantly appears.

We at Diabetes in Control want to do our part to reduce the clutter in your email box. Starting with our next issue on Saturday we will be sending out 1 newsletter with 6 features each week, instead of the current 2 newsletters with 3 features each. This change means one less email in your box, and a single read to get through all our great articles.

Please be sure to add us to your non-spam list so you won’t miss an issue.

Recently complaining of dizziness and weakness. Glucose levels in the 60’s at home, at which time had symptoms of hypoglycemia. Glucose-lowering medications (metformin and GLP-1) were stopped. Continued to complain of dizziness and weakness especially in the morning.

Can variability in HbA1c lead to a higher risk of mortality in persons with diabetes?

A Mendelian Randomization found a correlation between type 2 diabetes and heart failure, utilizing genetic markers.

Loss of healthy behaviors due to depression may increase the risk of the development of type 2 diabetes.
