Interesting read article here about how the Americans are making slow progress towards lowering their HbA1C levels, and how it gets worse over winter. I expect it is probably similar in the UK, but we don't start the festival of eating until Christmas, some 5 weeks after thanksgiving, so I guess it will probably not be quite so bad, we have 5 less weeks of gorging ourselves on Turkey and trimmings. I am probably being judgmental and jingoistic and nationist, but what the hell does it matter? What we all need to do is just eat less and exercise more and late onset diabetes will be a thing of the past, that is what nearly every article seems to say.
Yeah right. Me? I think that there may be a link to contaminants as well as the usual suspects of obesity and languorous behavior.
Any one ever considered the number of toxins in the food chain? So much food is fed antibiotics or sprayed in pesticides, and the air is so contaminated that eating purely organic is virtually impossible. I have no evidence, but I do worry about the effect of all these unintentionally ingested drugs and chemicals and things on the human body. Link? Maybe.

Also spotted this link about the pregnant women with high blood sugar. Everything just seems to be interlinked. Cause and Effect?
