Differing Brands of Generic Metformin Behave Differently
Dr. Bernstein has been preaching about this on his web telecasts for years, but it bears repeating: If you are having problems with generic metformin or not seeing it make much impact on your blood sugar, change brands before you assume it isn't working or that you can't tolerate it. I just had this message brought home to me when my pharmacy (Walgreens) filled my prescription for metformin ER
Research: Low carb diet helps heart pump and reverses kidney disease. Mediterranean Diet Fail?
There have been several studies in the news over the past few weeks that reinforce the healthfulness of the low carb diet and cast doubt on the utility of the so-called Mediterranean diet doctors prefer because it is full of all those supposedly "healthy whole grains" and pasta. 1. A mouse study confirmed that a ketogenic low carb diet (less than 70-100 grams of carbs a day) can reverse
New Poll for people who have mainained a weight loss or blood sugar target for 3+ years using a low carb strategy
2012-02-06 15:24:00.416
Several years ago I posted a poll on a diet support forum seeking to understand the strategies successful dieters used to maintain weight losses they'd achieved using low carb diets. The answers I got  were very helpful to other people who hoped to be able to maintain their weight loss. Now I'd like to post the same questions here to those of you who have diabetes or prediabetes and who have
All the Links Posted on the Blood Sugar 101 FaceBook Page Since Inception
2012-01-25 11:49:08.078
One of the things I don't like about FaceBook--besides the fact that I have no control over the spammy ads they show visitors--is that FB can make anything I post disappear at its whim. Since I started the FaceBook page in August, I've been posting more and more links to small but significant bits of diabetes and medical research news that, while they don't deserve an entire blog post here, do

It's That Time Again . . .
2012-01-02 12:57:36.786
The rows of candy in the Seasonal Aisle will be replaced with Diet Food, mostly toxic. The media will be full of diet advice, mostly wrong. The bookstores (what few are left, but that's another story) will move the newest Miracle Diet books to the front of the store, each one promising to reveal a simple secret that will make the pounds drop off like magic. The gym will be packed. It only lasts
Mitochondrial Diabetes: Another Non-Insulin Resistant Adult Onset Diabetes
2011-12-26 18:29:06.556
I've been reading up on mitochondria this month, in the writings of Nick Lane, Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life, and Oxygen: The Molecule That Made the World. There was a lot of interesting information in both books, but because at times Lane writes in a confused way about the relationship of diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction, I became curious about what is actually
Another Dangrously Misleading Study Promoting High A1cs as Healthy
2011-12-19 11:07:34.85
A presentation given at the recent 44th annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology claims that patients on dialysis have better outcomes when they have higher A1cs. As reported in Medscape, the chief researcher says, "The range from 6% to 9% seems to be the lower range of risk. There's even an impression that you could say that from 7% to 9% is the lowest risk." You can read the report
For Colorectal Cancer It's the Blood Sugar NOT The Insulin Level That Counts
2011-12-05 11:19:18.671
A recently published study based on data from the Womans Health Initiative (WHI) sheds light on a question many of us have wondered about: Is the higher incidence of cancer among people with Type 2 caused by higher insulin levels (or, perhaps injected insulin) or something else? The study was conducted by a team at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which some of you may remember is where
Another Book?
2011-11-12 11:09:30.376
Now that I've discharged my obligations under my contract with the publisher of my novels, I'm considering what to do next. And that is leading me to ask what I could do that would be of use to the people who visit http://Bloodsugar101.com and this blog. Publishing the book version of the site has taught me that most people still find books a better way to study a complex topic, even when the
