October 19, 2007: Dr.Robert Ligthelm diabetologist from Rotterdam,Netherlands speaks to our patients and press.
Diabetes should no longer be considered a disease of an individual.It is a disease of the family. If there is one person with diabetes in the family, the whole family should be involved in his or her care, or else management will fail. By far all studies have shown that introducing insulin shots very early in diabetes will help in the long term prevention of complications. Insulin is different from all other oral drugs in the sense that it is natural and not artificial.It is the one otherwise produced by normal human pancreas. Earlier injections were painful, but now they are virtually painless. ..... more

Liver Risk, Death Seen With Avandia.
More than one dozen cases of liver failure and death were reported in patients taking GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Avandia (rosiglitazone), advocacy group Public Citizen said on Thursday in a petition calling for a ban of the drug. But GlaxoSmithKline defended its drug, saying its own review by an independent panel earlier this year said the liver risks were acceptable. "We do not believe there is a connection between liver toxicity and this medicine," the company said in a statement, adding it had not yet read the group's petition.
