Diabetic Digest - Wednesday, May 5, 2010
Readers:
Why is it so hard to get into shape? That seems like a
question people ask of themselves far too often... and
I'm no different. I've been trying to exercise more, eat
better and lose a few pounds in the process. It's not as
easy as it sounds.
I could exercise everyday. I could join a gym. I could go
for a daily run. I could ride my bike or do calisthenics,
but I don't.
I could eat more fruits and vegetables. I could cut out
processed and fried foods. I could just foods that are
better for me, but I don't.
If I just put forth a little initiative and self-control
I could probably be in the best shape of my life.
I know it can be done. I know it. My major faults are
laziness and a love of bad food. I don't eat food that
contain sugar and cause my blood sugar to go out of
control. I just could eat less french fries and more
fresh fruit. You know what I mean?
I know I can improve my health. I try to all of the time.
I've written about in this very newsletter countless times.
I have to put my money where my mouth is (which is very
unsanitary by-the-way) an actually prove to myself that I
can get healthier and stay healthier than in the past.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to get better. I'm going to
get my lazy butt into shape. I am. I can do it. We all can
do it.
Regards,
Steve

New diabetic macular edema therapy found
BETHESDA, Md. - U.S. scientists say they've found a combi-
nation of eye injection and laser therapy has better outcomes
than laser treatment alone for diabetic macular edema. The
National Institutes of Health-supported study by the Diabetic
Retinopathy Clinical Research Network showed ranibizumab
(Lucentis) eye injections combined with laser treatment re-
sult in better vision than laser treatment alone for diabetes-
associated swelling of the retina. The researchers said
although laser treatment alone has been the standard care
for 25 years, nearly 50 percent of patients who received the
new treatment experienced substantial visual improvement
after one year, compared with 28 percent who received the
standard laser treatment. "These results indicate a treatment
breakthrough for saving the vision of people with diabetic
macular edema," said Dr. Neil Bressler, chief of the retina
division of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity. "Eye injections of ranibizumab with prompt or de-
ferred laser treatment should now be considered for patients
with characteristics similar to those in this clinical trial."
The researchers said diabetic retinopathy is the most common
cause of vision loss in working-age Americans. The condition
damages small blood vessels in the eye's retinal tissue. That
results in blood vessel leakage and causes swelling that can
lead to vision loss if left untreated. The study is reported
in the early online edition of the journal Ophthalmology.
