Diabetes What's Behind the Disease?

Diabetes What's Behind the Disease?

Everyday I wonder why so many people are suffering from diabetes I or II. What's interesting to me is the so called method to take care of the problem is to introduce insulin to control the blood sugar. Hymm How long have we been doing that 50 yrs? I'm not sure but a long time.
I'm not sure how or what mechanism is actually causing diabetes but what I do believe is that using insulin as a method of maintaining blood sugar is antiquated at best. I am not a doctor but have worked at Dow conducting my own research and lab studies in a host of different areas. Recently I have been interested in the implications of excessive adipose tissue ie. fat cells. It appears just by the very nature of having an excess of fat cells vs others causes our hormones to be out of balance, another interesting caveat is that from a genetic perspective if you had overweight parents the actual blood chemistry of the off-spring has pre-disposed to a propensity to manifest diabetiic problems. One area I would like to pursue is the better understanding of the different hormone levels that a healthy individual has vs a diabetic it may be that if we start to target specific blood analytes found in diabetic patients and not found in normal people, may be a start to get a better understanding of this disease.

Janet's Story "The Girl with the Jersey Accent"

Janet's Story "The Girl with the Jersey Accent"

The contents of this post was mentioned in one of my first blogs. I feel it's important to not forget some of the important lessons that we have learned and sometimes to mention them again. You see Janet was a very special woman and her story needs to be retold time and time again.

Throughout our lives we are constantly making choices. Just deciding to write this article was a choice I made. It became apparent to me that there are a lot of untold stories that need to be told and precious monments that need to mentioned. Our company distributes medical products and supplies throughout the United States and we connect with people daily. I will try to convey how one of those people who is named Janet feels and give you a glimpse in her world.

It is myintention to make your time reading enjoyable and entertaining. Recently I was contacted by a women from Florida who had a distinct “Jersey Accent”. I asked where she was from and sure enough she came from New York. We went on and continued with introductions and casual conversation. I guess she was in her 50’s by the way she talked and the way she labored with her breathing. I speculated she had a physical condition and was handicapped but not sure. Why was she calling? Was it for our crutches, canes, deluxecommodes, mobility or senior products. what was it?

Our conversation was both casual and revealing, she mentioned she was a former Special Education Teacher and is now living with her mother. As we continued, she told me at 28 her life changed. She revealed to me after that period she was considered handicapped . Her disability is daunting, not only does she only have one arm, she is also in a wheelchair. That is why she contacted me to order one of our Herdegen Adjustable Welded Commodes. Here is what she said ”I have looked for two weeks and am tired of the flimsy junk out there, that is why I’m contacting you”. I went on and took the order and felt light inside. I did not press for specific details how the accident occurred,
by this time she was pulling at my Heart Strings and I just appreciated everything I had.

One moment you’re the teacher of special needs and the next moment you’re the one that needs them. It really is a poignant story. Life is kind of like that. We never know how long we have and sometimes we just roll along and take things for granted, sometimes we take things for granted too long. Many of us complain and try to impose blame on others, when in fact it was just the circumstances and not really anybody’s fault. Take time today and tell your kids you love them, give them a hug they will never forget. Call yourDad or make a donation. Whatever you do just express a level of gratitude with an open heart. You never know when you may need help or comforting.

All the Best

Tony, welcome to blogging! I read your blog entries with great interest and they were filled with enthusiasm and passion for what you to do and the belief in not only your products but the much required positive changes that you actually bring about in your clients lives. In your blog, “Pulse on America”, and “New Medicare and Medicaid Re-Imbursements are Killing American Businesses”, I completely agree with you that the funding cuts that you have experienced in the states are similar to one that have been carried out in the UK. The lady from Florida brought home the importance of your services and the void that is left when such services/products such as yours and the therapists no longer exist. What you do is quite close to my heart as my mother died a few years ago and towards the end of her life she retained complete mental faculties but her body started to fail due to a long history of Arthritis, she was 70. I have witnessed firsthand, the effects of these cuts. My mother was the first Asian within Swindon, UK to be admitted to a council run (Local govt) residential home. As an Asian who was well educated and a teacher for 18 years, she had good command of English. She still enjoyed watching Asian channels in her native language though. In the residential home, due to cuts, she was denied access to cable or satellite TV that could have enhanced the quality of her life in her final days (She spent 17 months of her final days there). We were prepared to pay for the installation and ongoing costs but were stopped from doing so due to the bureaucracy that was there. You have a compassion that has been lost in today’s materialistic society. I personally think that you are doing a great service to your country and I hope that continues well into the future. Many thanks.
