It is really strange that a book titled: 'Fertility Foods' actually has more content and advice about exercise and mental health than talking about what to eat and what to avoid eating. Dr. Groll's research has proven that there is a powerful link between the body's insulin resistance and fertility problems. The focus of the book is on the problem of insulin resistance, how it impedes fertility and the diet approach to improve fertility and avoid miscarriage (there is a significant link betwe...

2010-10-07T06:41:55Z

What does a weight loss exercise have to do with insulin? A lot, actually. Chances are, if you're fighting the "Battle of the Bulge" and losing, you've got insulin resistance. However, fat loss exercises along with a different eating plan than the one you're probably following can change that. Here's why.

Proposed diabetes test misses most cases: study

2010-08-31T12:30:18Z

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new proposed diabetes test could miss millions of cases of diabetes and pre-diabetes and also over-diagnose black Americans if it was used as a screening tool, suggests a new study.

Over 23 million Americans have diabetes - about 8 percent of the population - and another 57 million are at risk for developing diabetes, according to the Reuters) - Low doses of GlaxoSmithKline's diabetes drug Avandia combined with metformin can prevent diabetes without causing the most common side-effects, Canadian doctors reported on Wednesday.

Taking half a dose of Glaxo's combination pill reduced by two-thirds the risk that patients would...

More importantly, it's an indicator that there is something seriously wrong with your body. Left untreated, over 50% of those diagnosed with pre-diabetes will develop Type 2 diabetes within ten years.<...
