Retinopathy in Diabetics Increases Risk of Death

Researchers at the University of Kuopio in Finland have found that Type 2 diabetic who develop retinopathy have an increased risk of death.

In women, proliferative retinopathy was associated with a 2.9-fold increased risk of death from all causes. In women, this type of retinopathy was also associated with a 3-fold increased risk of cardiovascular death and a nearly 5-fold increased risk of coronary heart disease death ... In men, proliferative retinopathy was significantly associated with death, increasing the risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, and coronary heart disease mortality by 3.05-, 3.32-, and 2.54-fold, respectively.

Wondering if you or your readers are familiar with a fruit called borojo that is meant to be good as a blood-sugar stabilizer. They claim that a lot of diabetics use it. Just wondering, thanks!

The new infertility treatment is amazingly good, but some are on the other fence and claim it is not as good as the icsi sperm injections. It works well, but isn't as fast or reliable. If you frequently think of using the hormones or supplements that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot for infertilty solutions look no furhter than fertilityleaders.com.
