I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Drugs which improve blood sugar control in diabetics may have another side affect. It may actually be harming the bones of women.
Researchers analyzed data from close to 14,000 people. Results showed that women who took a class of drugs known as thiazolidinediones were more likely to have reduced bone density in the lumbar, spine and hip sections compared to women who didn't take these drugs. This risk was not seen in men.
Thiazolinediones are taken by more than 4 million Americans. Half of these are likely to be women. Extrapolating from this, researchers believe that these drugs may be responsible for up to 30,000 bone fractures every year.
