** NOTE FROM ANNETTE

Dear Friends:

If you're diabetic, your health depends on you eating properly and watching your weight. allHealth has the help you need. On Oct. 16, the next Never Say Diet Challenge will begin. Why does this program work? It works because it helps you focus on ways to improve your health and self-image and takes the focus away from the numbers on the scale. It works because we tailor the plan for your specific dietary and physical needs and stay with you every step of the way. Remember, always check with your doctor before making any changes in your diet and exercise.

Sharing the path to wellness,

Member rylz asks: Okay ... I have noticed my hypoglycemia is getting worse with age, like everything else! I have tried eating those protein bars and they are AWFUL! Is there just a basic protein drink that isn't all souped up with artificial flavoring?

** ON THE DIABETES FRONT

Got Guts? You May Have Too Much Cortisol People who have fat cells accumulated around their internal organs (visceral fat) often produce too much cortisol. Visceral fat shows on the body as fat around your stomach and waist. Cortisol is the hormone the body produces during moments of extreme stress. Too much visceral fat in your body can lead to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. High cortisol production affects the immune system as well.

** ASK THE EXPERT

Controlling Blood Sugar Q. My husband has been unable to control his blood sugar level. He is now ranging in the 400-500 area despite the addition of regular insulin to the previous 70/30 doses. His doctor believes he is becoming insulin resistant, but as he is also in renal failure (10-15 percentage kidney function remaining), he is reluctant to add more drugs to his system. He is okay with trying to find herbal remedies that are metabolized by the liver rather than the kidneys. Would bitter melon be helpful in this case? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. --H.S.
