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 new study trying to find factors affecting rising diabetes shows that not getting sleep for one night can disturb the body's use of insulin and therefore disrupt the sugar levels in the bloodstream. The experts are theorizing that the shortened sleep span in western societies might have contributed to the increase in insulin resistance and adult-onset diabetes.
Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, controls levels of glucose sugar that originates from food. High sugar levels can harm the kidneys, heart, nerves, eyes, and arteries. Those who have type-2-diabetes cannot control the body's use of insulin. Around 180 million people worldwide are diagnosed with diabetes, a disease that is connected with a sedentary lifestyle and deprived nutrition.
Participants of the study who slept 4 hours a night had 19-25% less insulin sensitivity compared to those who slept 8 hours a night. The study also showed that adults who received less than six hours of sleep a night had a 4.5 times more chance of having inconsistent blood sugar readings. The best would be to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
