My New Diabetes Articles for HealthCentral:
Last month HealthCentral published six more of my diabetes articles about all aspects of the condition:
Which Starch for Dinner
What if you don't want any starch for dinner or for any other meal? Here is your guide.The Nova Max Plus Meter
Nobody questions our need for blood glucose meters to be accurate. Yet only a few of the meter manufacturers seem to be doing anything about it. This new meter could be one of the best.Medical Misinformation Can Kill Us
The Internet is full of medical information. Doctor's office are tooNatural Exercise to Help Manage Diabetes
Exercise can help us reduce stress in busy lives. But it matters a lot where we get that exercise.Metformin Forever
I am sometimes proud that I don't have to take any drugs to control my diabetes. But I am considering taking one, metformin. This article indicates that everyone needs to consider one of the most effective of our diabetes medications, one of the safest, and now that generic forms are available is the least expensive.
- Fitness and Photograph for Fun:
Last month I published 16 more of my articles on staying fit by getting the activity we need. Photography gets me to hike, and hiking keeps me fit:
Betasso's Ponderosas My third trip to Betasso Preserve in a week might seem like too much. But this one showed me some of the most beautiful birds in the world, birds that love ponderosa pine trees.
Lichen Loop Lichens are a symbiotic combination of two organisms, generally a fungus and an algae. Actually, we are all symbiotic organisms, although we have been slow to recognize that fact.
Hall Ranch My longest hike of the month, 10 miles through most of Hall Ranch, also gave me some beautiful views and photographs.
Clear Creek
Just 22 miles south of my apartment in Boulder is Prospect Park and Clear Creek. There I found beautiful birds, including the Wood Duck that illustrates this issue of "Diabetes Update".
Southeast Arizona's La Posta Quemada Ranch
My visit to this ranch in April started a great trip to Southeast Arizona, one of the world's top birding sites. The trip offered everything that I expected -- except hot weather. This is the first of my 11 photo essay about this trip, and the other 10 are also online in my "Fitness and Photography" blog.
Goslings at Tantra Lake Birth is always wonderful. Young people and young animals and young birds seem especially beautiful to me. I got a chance at the end of April to see and photograph some very young birds.
