1). Diabeticine And Diamaxol: The FDA And Diabetes Medication
You might be wondering about Diabeticine, which has recently changed its name to Diamaxol. Diabeticine claimed to cure “99 % of type II diabetes, and 64% of type I diabetes.” It was approved as a supplement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Diabeticine, however, claimed to target the root of diabetes. Diabeticine claimed that it was a hypoglycemic agent.
2). Denial At Diabetes: Long-term Health Effects
Most people, when diagnosed with diabetes, go through at least one period of denial. Denial is a time when you do not believe that your diabetes will truly affect you. It is a time when you feel exempt from reality: “surely, not me!” Denial at a diabetes diagnosis is fairly common, and a normal part of dealing with the news. It is longstanding denial that can be dangerous to your health.
3). Discrimination Against People With Diabetes In The Workplace
Diabetes is not a visible disability, and so many employers do not understand the effects and consequence of this disease. You are probably going to have to help educate your employer to create a workplace that meets your needs.
You have two ADAs with you on this point. Not the American District Attorney (we hope…though in worse case scenarios it might get there), but the American Diabetes Association, and the American Disabilities Act.
4). Diabetes And Men's Health
Men with diabetes have a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED): a man with diabetes has a 4 in 5 chance of facing ED, whereas a man without diabetes has a 1 in 5 chance.
Erectile Dysfunction refers to an inability to achieve or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse. It falls under the blanket term impotence, which also covers other sexual problems such as lack of arousal and the inability to orgasm.
5). Metformin Gum: Chew Your Way To Diabetes Control?
You can chew a gum to help you quit smoking, why not chew a gum to manage your diabetes? Generex corporation of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has teamed up with Fertin Pharma from Denmark to create this diabetes gum.
The proposed gum would be for type 2 diabetes, and would be for patients who are not insulin dependant. The gum would deliver metformin to the patient through the lining of their mouth.
