JDC monthly diabetes newsletter. Issue 56 June 2013

Hi,

In this June 2013 issue of JDC Diabetes Gems we present before you a rich experience with an update on both theory and practice in diabetes.

The video hopefully will be helpful for those patients who discontinue medications on their own.

Though statins have a low chance of increasing blood sugars, it still remains a life saving safe medication for all diabetes patients requiring them. Other features include the history of American Diabetes Association, mechanism of GLP-1 secretion, risk involved in Bariatric surgery, a word of caution on the use of artificial sweeteners etc. etc.

If in case you are not interested in receiving this free monthly newsletter, kindly reply with "delete gems" in the subject line to annie@jothydev.net and also click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this page.
