    New Diabetes Research Prize

    [Humor]   It is with great excitement that I announce the creation of the coveted Becker Award for the Most Ho-Hum Research Published in the Recent Past (or BAMHHRPRP, pronounced "bamhhrprp").   The winner this month is a research study that showed that the caffeine in coffee interferes with sleep. Wow! I never knew that! I always... Read moreChevron

    Avoiding Diabetes

    [Humor]   Most people don't want to get type 2 diabetes, and they'd like to know how they can prevent it. I have a few suggestions based on the risk factors for the disease.   1. Your risk increases when you're over 40 years old.   One strategy to reduce your risk is to avoid ever being over 40 years old. You might consider... Read moreChevron

    Pork and Spin

    [Humor]   Almost every day, it seems, we see a "news" article in which one food is named as having great benefit for people with diabetes, or those at risk.

I've seen so many variations I can't remember what this one was about.   But why is it that all our food advice has to come in the form of a pyramid?
