A Painted Lady At The Loch, Rocky Mtn Natl Park: " Just when the caterpillar

thought the world was over, it became a butterfly "

I don't know of anyone who lost more weight on a low-carb diet than Jimmy

. He weighed 410 pounds when he changed his life. In one year he was

able to reduce his weight to 230 pounds. That's a difference of 180 pounds.

So I'm not surprised that he has become a leading advocate of the low-carb

lifestyle. His blog is Livin <http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/> ' La Vida

Low-Carb

Jimmy just interviewed me for his blog. You can hear the interview at

<http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/david-mendosa-talks-lowcarb-diabetes-epi

sode-169/> Mendosa Talks Low-Carb and Diabetes (Episode 169).

So far I have written 308 articles for Health Central about all aspects of

diabetes. In August this great website published nine more of my new

diabetes articles:

* Meter

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/36012/meter-reports> Reports.

Whenever Consumer Reports evaluates blood glucose meters, it's big news. Its

new review rated 13 meters from eight different manufacturers. More

interesting is the meter model that the magazine rated excellent in

consistency and accuracy.

* Conquering

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/36085/conquering-sleep> Sleep

Apnea. About half of all of us who have diabetes also suffer from sleep

apnea. But you can conquer it. I know you can because I have.

* Living

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/36767/living-longer-byetta>

Longer with Byetta. Taking Byetta can lower our chance of dying compared

with other diabetes drugs by about 75 percent. That's the real story as

presented at the ADA's recent Scientific Sessions in San Francisco, not the

recent scare over pancreatitis.

* The

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/37079/time-lose-weight> Best

Time to Lose Weight. Any time is a good time to lose weight if your body

mass index is over 25. But controlling your weight right after diagnosis

helps the most.

* A

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/37558/reason-reduce-salt> Better

Reason to Reduce Salt. We thought that we could relax about the amount of

salt we use after Taubes exposed the weak evidence that it increases

blood pressure. But now it seems its bad for our hearts in another way.

* Renew

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/37825/renew-lancing> Lancing.

Lancing devices and lancets don't get the respect they deserve. Until

recently we have had few choices, and most of them were nothing to write

about. We have another interesting choice now.

* Glucocard

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/38317/glucocard-meter> X-Meter.

The idea of intelligent design certainly applies to Arkray's Glucocard

X-Meter and X-Sensors. This is a great system to take everywhere.

* Taste More,

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/38587/taste-eat> Eat Less. When

our food tastes better, we might eat less. Low-calorie seasonings and spices

are wonderful -- except in the evening.

* No Time

<http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/39139/time-exercise> for

Exercise. The problem with the review of a new study showing that we have to

exercise an hour a day to keep the weight off is that almost no one has time

for it. But with all the labor-saving devices we have, who needs exercise

anyway?

* Dr. Bernstein's Webcast

If you have any interest in controlling your diabetes by low-carb eating,

one of the best resources is Dr. K. Bernstein's monthly webcast.

It's an hour of excellent diabetes education.

Dr. Bernstein's next live Tele-Seminar is Tuesday,

September 23, at 8:00 PM EST, 7:00 PM CST, 6:00 PM MST, and 5:00 PM PST. He

designed it to answer your most important questions concerning diabetes and

to offer his thoughts on the latest developments in this area. This call

will focus on insulin and other medications. The seminar is free. You can

click here to register: <http://www.diabetes911.net/askdrb/index.php>

http://www.diabetes911.net/askdrb/index.php. It's also available as a live

webcast both on the Internet and by phone.
