I believe in the power of affirmations to change our mindsets about our bodies. It's sometime I do regularly to drown out that little inner critic inside me. I thought I would start a series of affirmations for us to do together to be kinder to ourselves.
Will you join me?
Have you exercised today?
I'm off to do my squats. I think they are helping me rebuild my leg strength.
By Stephanie Briggs, Ph.D.Unless you're a bodybuilder, you're probably unaware of chromium supplements. Bodybuilders often take chromium picolinate in the belief that it diverts energy to building muscle and strength. Weight training itself, of course, achieves the same effect. Moreover, the majority of controlled studies in humans do not show a beneficial effect of chromium on body composition or strength in weight lifters.
The essentiality of chromium for human health, however, is without dispute.

Statins, Diabetes - and Metabolic SyndromeBy Richard N. Fogoros, M.D., About.com GuideCreated February 20, 2010About.com Health's Disease and Condition content is reviewed by our Medical Review Board
From the article:
You may have read reports in the press that statin drugs have been linked to the development of type II diabetes. Do statin drugs really make diabetes more likely? And if they do, how big is this risk?
These questions seem particularly important in view of the fact that, recently, FDA-approved indications for using statin drugs have been greatly expanded. Statins are now recommended not only in people with elevated cholesterol levels whether or not they have known heart disease, but also in certain people who don't even have an elevation in cholesterol levels. This broadened usage of statin drugs is based on well-conducted, randomized clinical trials showing that, in appropriately selected patients, statins can produce a significant reduction in heart attacks, strokes, and the need for coronary artery revascularization procedures (i.e., stents or bypass surgery).

The article goes on to say that in some patients who are not already diabetic, that the statins did seem to increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
It's important to note that the purpose of the study was not for the correlation of statins and diabetes.
It's worth reading the whole article here.
I hope you find the information helpful.

This is number six on my doctor’s diabetic sheet.
DO NOT get frustrated; even if you do everything you are supposed to

That’s a really hard one for me.

The end could be drawing near for GlaxoSmithKline's multi-billion dollar diabetes drug Avandia, if two U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviewers are successful in their bid to have the drug pulled from the market because of its link to heart problems.
