Five New Ways to Treat Diabetes. Making the World Better and a Buck to Boot.

Five new ways to treat diabetes.  Hey, if there is a buck to be made, why not?  Come up with a better idea, solve a problem and make some money doing it, everybody wins.  Me?   I just had to learn to eat less and exercise.  Pretty simple and cheap solution, that.


The Numbers:

• Fasting Blood Glucose Levels:  100 mg/dl
• Weight: 187 lbs.
• Exercise:  45 minute bike ride.  Super humid this morning.
• Mood:  Father-in-law passed away.  Long, emotional day. 

The Menu:

• Breakfast:  Morning Medley of fruit, oatmeal with craisens. 
• Lunch:  Leftover hamburger from the Saturday evening and some grapes.
• Dinner:  Late night, a few slices of fajita with Spanish brown rice and a salad.  Have get things cleaned up for the in-laws coming.
• Snacks:  A few almonds and some craisins. 

Five Innovative Ways to Treat Diabetes.

As the rise in new diabetic cases continues many are calling for new ways to treat the condition.  I say to most of us who have the problem of type 2 diabetes, lose weight and exercise.  That solution covers about 85% of us.  It's simple, safe and effective.

Of the five mentioned in this article, three affect type 1 diabetics, including an artificial pancreas and stem cells.  The smart blood glucose meter could work either way and the gut bacteria approach sounds kind of suspicious to me, as in a future late night infomercial material.  The surgery could work for those who say they never feel full.  That's not me.  I just tend to eat too fast, which is a trigger for type 2 diabetes and there are a lot cheaper ways to deal with that problem.
