HOW OFTEN TO SELF TEST

 People with diabetes are encouraged to check their blood glucose levels frequently. Recommendations for home monitoring vary from once a day or less in individuals with well-controlled type 2 diabetes to multiple times daily in people with type 1 diabetes.

Domestic Violence

It happens to men and women. Love yourself enough to speak up, seek help and walk away. We only have one life to live. Don't let someone else take it away from you prematurely!

Studies suggested that vitamin D deficiency may aggravate asthma symptoms in adults and that supplementation might help reduce them. Recent research evaluated 408 adults with asthma; 66 percent were vitamin D deficient. Half of the group received vitamin D3 tablets for 28 weeks. The remaining participants took a placebo during that same period. In addition, all patients used the inhaled corticosteroid ciclesonide to control their asthma. http://www.healthcentral.com/ 

Ultimately, there was no difference in the time to first treatment failure-defined as a decline in lung function, an increased need for asthma medications or an asthma-related hospital visit-between the two groups. The investigators did report one small benefit: Vitamin D users needed slightly less ciclesonide to achieve symptom control, but the difference was not significant.
