t log on to NYT, this article talks about a new research for curing diabetes. It involves stopping the attack of white blood cells on the islet cells in the pancreaes as well as killing those white blood cells. When this was done, the islet cells grew back, this is what had not been found before. JDF has recreated this finding in their own research.
Dr. Denise Faustman is the doctor in the article, if you'd like to do a google search to find more info.
This is just part of the article about a major donation to fight Type 1 diabetes. Here's the link as well.

Fifty-three years ago, young Bill Brehm sat quietly as a doctor warned him about the young woman to whom he had just become engaged.
Delores "Dee" Sonderquist, a diabetic, wouldn't live long, the doctor said. She would be unable to have children, and complications of the disease would be devastating.
It is also a new practice (Joslin diabetes center - one of the world'sleading diabetes management and research centres) to start all persons with diabetes on insulin instead of oral meds.
Glipizide is a drug that makes your pancreas put out more insulin so it can cause lows. It can also make your pancreas burn out faster. So do research this and consider stopping this drug (in coordination with your Dr.)
Metformin does not have this effect. So you can ask your Dr.

Hi, Im 17 1/2 years old, about a month back, I was diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes type 1. My specialist thinks that eventually it's going to develop into actual diabetes and I'm going to have to insert insulin. I'm a senior in high school and after I graduate, I want to go to community college and then possibly join the military to become a book keeper or work in an financial department.
I recently went to the annual meeting of the Northern California Inland Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) where I learned of Approximately 257 adults who were cured of Type 1 diabetes with the Edmonton Protocol in Canada. This protocol was pioneered by Dr. Shapiro and is the leading center for islet cell transplant. As of yet children are not candidates for the procedure and there are some kinks to be worked out before this can become a procedure for anyone.
However, I have found an interesting research report by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)

On that website, you can read about current research as well as results. Once again, tho', do check in with your doctor and be very wary of any *amazing* health claims, especially with respect to Type 1 diabetes, which still has no known cures.
Greetings doctor I am actually doing a research paper on HIV for school and with so much info online from one end of the spectrum to the other I figure I would ask a specialist directly a few questions so here it goes...
1-with testing now a days would you consider 6-8 weeks conclusive?
2-do you believe rapid tests are just as reliable as lab based?
3-do you feel oral rapid tests are just as good as blood?
4-what are the most common symptoms you see with onset of HIV?
Interesting speculation from you... do I detect a future in research for you? Obviously this kind of virus research has not yet developed into anything helpful for us so far, but there are many kinds of research happening right now. Many major hospitals have research centers, and many of those are working with autoimmune issues and with viruses and reactions to viruses.
Good morning everyone! I posted a few weeks ago about worrying about some "extra systole" I have been having.
I am a 44 y/o female, not overweight, thyroid levels fine, previous but corrected anemia, who started on exactly January 8th, experiencing skipped beats. These start shortly after getting up, last most of the day, and calm down in the evening. Prior to this, I have never had any cardiac issues with the exception of rapid heart rate when I was anemic.

Also, if you go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Website, the have a blurb about financial assitance for diabetes (see below)
COPIED FROM the JDRF website: http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=103442#ocho
"There are pharmaceutical assistance programs offered directly by some drug companies for people with diabetes who have little or no insurance to help offset the cost of supplies or prescription medications.

Hi Patrick. I'm a Diabetes Nurse Educator based in the Philippines. I know of one community-based diabetes project at Pototan, Iloilo. It is called the Diabetes Resource Center. You may want to contact them. I'll be glad to coordinate with you.
t just infiltrated hospitals and clinics -- it has taken over the medical education process too. You see, each year, doctors must take refresher courses to stay abreast of the latest "advances" in medicine. And these courses are funded almost solely by Big Pharma. Even worse, in most cases, drug companies get to pick and choose which courses they want to pay for -- and they usually opt for ones that promote their products.
