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

A study of around 1,500 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial found that diabetics have a higher chance of developing kidney disease compared to healthy people. People who have type-1 diabetes are not able to make insulin after their pancreatic cells are damaged even though it is supposed to be an autoimmune response.
It is most common in people with European descent and incidence is increasing about 3% a year. From 2000 to 2010, there would have been a 40% increase in new cases of type-1 diabetes.
The study shows that consuming more omega-3 fatty acids might help decrease kidney damage in type-1 diabetics without affecting the occurrence of the disease. Those who took the most eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) had the most improved kidney function for type-1 diabetics compared to those who took lower intakes of the fatty acids. Taking fish oils can also help to improve kidney health of diabetics.
