Sorry, but this article was loaded w/glittering generalities that have been published ad nauseum. Let's talk about people whose blood sugar is under excellent control, with medication and are otherwise non symptomatic. What are their statistics? What are their risk factors? What is the risk of for instance glyburide w/metformin?

I think many people with diabetes and other chronic diseases take a fatalistic approach to living because of the statistics without the proper mindset. They know they are at risk but they are up against it too. there needs to be a multidisciplinary approach. Psychotherapy is probably as important as medication. Without helping the diabetic patient see they can do what it takes and it seems overwhelming, they don't do what it takes. The facts are there, how does a diabetic patient live with and change those facts for their life, that should be your next post.

I was very interested in your article. What has your research found reguarding L-arginre and vitamin D3, in reversing type 1 & type two?

I am a Type 1 with most of the possible complications. I am a bit of an oddity. I have had Diabetes all or at least most of my life, yet I was only diagnosed at 42. This explains having most of the side effects. The latest one is LVD Left Ventrical Disfunction my Percentage is 60. I see that a lot of diabetics become hypocondriacs, who could blame them you turn around and find you have something else. though not all hypocondriacs are wrong, for the longest time I would tell myself I am too young to have this, and the report showed that in fact I did have it.

What is meant here by agressive LDL-cholesterole lowering? A right diet? Natural supplements? Faramcological drugs?. I think this "aggreesive approach" should be performed useing measures in the above priority, and not the opposite. Best regards Knut Holt http://www.mydeltapi.com
