My cousin, Anthony,told me about this.

I saw this posted Friday.

"Prescriptions for drugs to treat diabetes have increased 40 per cent in five years as the obesity epidemic and improved diagnosis increases the number of people on the medicines."

My Uncle told me about this -

As the obesity rate climbs and chronic disease management falters, the serious and costly complications of diabetes will multiply.

This one is for my sister Laura:

"Postmenopausal women with diabetes taking thiazolidinediones (TZDS), including rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, may be at increased risk for fractures, according to a new study. Men with diabetes taking both loop diuretics and TZDs may also be at increased risk of fractures."

The popular diabetes drugs Actos and Avandia boost the risk of fracture in older women, according to findings from a new study that echo those of earlier research.

Pregnant women with a history of pregnancy-related diabetes, also called gestational diabetes, have a good chance of developing the condition again, suggests a large new study.
