But if women are oppressed and abused and illiterate, then they're going to fall behind." ~ Barack Obama~"Farming is a profession of hope." ~Brian Brett~For more…

It could be argued that no disease reflects more about how we live than diabetes. It encompasses how we eat, how much we use our bodies, and hourly decisions regarding both. In many ways our blood sugar is as good an indicator of our health as is our blood pressure or body mass index. To call monitoring your blood sugar a 'numbers game' is to belit…
