Every day, scientists and researchers continue to get closer to finding a cure for diabetes. In the meantime, however, the focus must remain on treating diabetes and its symptoms.
Diabetes is a chronic disease. That is, once you have been diagnosed with it, you will essentially have to be treated for it the rest of your life. Fortunately, unlike in years past, we now have a variety of treatments available that can enable a diabetic to live an almost normal life with relatively few inconveniences.
Treating diabetes basically comes down to managing the disease. For most people, this means making a change to their lifestyle. And as a diabetic, the primary and most important lifestyle change that you will have to make is to begin to pay attention to your blood glucose levels.
Monitor Blood Glucose Level - You really don't know how you're doing in managing your day-to-day diabetes unless you periodically measure your glucose levels. You should monitor your levels as much as your doctor instructs you to. Normally this will be before meals, after meals, immediately upon rising, and before going to bed. Most blood glucose meters keep records of the readings over a period of time. This can be very helpful to your physician as it lets him judge how effective his prescribed treatments are working as well as giving him an opportunity to make course corrections on your medications and the like.
Medications - There are a number of medications that can help you to control your blood sugar. If you are don't like to take injections, there are oral medications that your doctor may be able to prescribe for you. Your physician may also be able to suggest natural herbs that can help your condition as well. The important thing is to always let your doctor know what alternative treatments you are taking. There are basically two types of diabetes drugs. Some drugs work by slowing down the rate at which starches break down to glucose. Other work by helping your body to more effectively make use of the glucose. Your doctor, in collaboration with you will decide which type of drug is best for you.
Begin to Eating Healthy Meals - When diagnosed with diabetes, this should be one of the first changes that you make. Your diet is something that you can do on your own and something that you have complete control of. In particular, modify your diet so that you are eating more foods that don't cause your blood sugar to fluctuate to extremes. Use the glycemic index to find foods that are both healthy and that cause only moderate increases in your blood sugar levels.
Start Exercising - It's long been known that exercise can help diabetics to control their blood sugar. As you exercise, the body uses the blood sugar to provide energy. In the process, it lowers your blood glucose levels. Regular activity will also help to keep your weight down which is another factor that diabetics, in particular, need to control.
The hope is that as time passes, your lifestyle changes will become so habitual to you that they become part of your normal daily routine and no longer are seen as impositions.

The Formula For Happiness.........!!!!!!!!!!!
He became a preacher in the 1940's, traveling across the United States and Europe, sharing about the love of God in stadiums filled with tens of thousands of people. He had influence upon hundreds of thousands of lives, and American Magazine said his leadership 'set a new standard Towards the end of his life he walked away from everything he had ever known, proclaiming that he had lost his faith. Though Charles Templeton was once known for working alongside his friend Billy Graham, their paths in life took dramatic turns in the opposite direction. In a final interview before his death, Templeton bemoaned where his path had taken him.
Two hundred years before Christ, Romans would scare their children by telling them, 'Hannibal is at the door' The legendary conqueror rode elephants into the fabled city, terrifying the people and the Roman army. After conquering the city, he captured the gold and the government, leading from his throne in Carthage. Yet after all of his accomplishments, he felt desolate and alone and ended his own life by drinking poison
It is said that one of the greatest lies the devil tells is, 'For you, personally, things will never change' As we will see, this belief is especially crippling.
Recently I attended a seminar led by Anthony Robbins. He introduced what he called the 'formula for happiness' Simple but brilliant, it is made up of two sets of letters, LC and BP.
When LC = BP, a person is fulfilled and happy. When LC doesn't equal BP, and the person feels helpless to make a change, they are headed for unhappiness. LC stands for 'life condition,' and BP stands for our 'blueprint' or our expectation about how life should be. What if your life is not where you want it to be? You have two choices, you can change your blueprint, or you can change your life condition.
For example, if your current life condition means working a job that is far from your ideal career you have a couple of options. You can find a new job, or you can alter the meaning you give to the position you currently hold. Or even better, you can change both.
Remember, it is when a person feels that things can never be different that they suffer despair. It is important to realize we are always in control of the meaning we give to our experiences.
Consider for a moment the life of Nelson Mandela. Spending more than two decades suffering injustice as he was held in prison, there was little he could do to modify his circumstances. However, he was fully in command of the meaning he would give those years, in fact sharing that he saw them not as suffering but as preparation for the day he would lead South Africa out of apartheid. Unlike Templeton or Hannibal, he found an empowering meaning behind his experience, and thus lived a life of fulfillment in a place where many would have given up.
So take some time and consider areas of life where you feel the most fulfilled and I believe you will find that your LC = BP. And in the areas where you find the least fulfillment, realize that in a moment of decision you can find happiness by changing your life condition or your blueprint, and perhaps even both.

How To Tell If Your Ex Wants To Reconcile..........!!!!!!!!!!
If you note that your ex is showing suttle signs of wanting to get back with you, or seems like they are wanting to spend more time with you than they used to, or of they start to flirt with you, then it's fine to get your hopes up some but don't get over zealous quite yet. Right now you might be asking yourself "How To Get Your Ex Back?".
Yes these are great signals that shows that your ex does want to take you back. But at this point it's not prudent to make any rash decisions, even if you feel the same way they do. Now is the time to play hard to get, however, be realistic here and don't over do it. Too much of anything is not a good thing.
They will most likely respond better to this. If you try to dive head first back into this relationship, you may notice that this behavior just pushes them further away than they were before. As a matter of fact, if your ex is sending you suttle clues that they want you back, then chances are it was because you were playing your cards right by holding back which sparked a renewed interest with your ex.
Most of the time when you and your ex part ways, after a period of weeks it is only natural for the both of you to miss each other and the tendencies become natural for the both of you to try and reconcile. If the relationship between the both of you lasted a year or more, this is even more true.
There's no doubt that your ex is going to miss you. You can be sure of this by taking a trip down memory lane and remembering all the great times you two had in the past. However other feelings that include past regrets might surface. So when you honestly ask yourself "How To Get Your Ex Back" chances are they may be wondering the same things for the exact same reason.
Occasionally your ex may have no intention to get you back. They show interest just as a sign of attention, and are just playing on your emotions. The other reason is they may be in between mate hunting and might just trying to kill some time while they are searching, and are using you as a scapegoat. What's worse is they may even be doing this to get back at you, because they think you might have done something bad to them.
The litmus test for this is to see if they are really willing to spend quality time with you. Make sure you step back and take some time to really evaluate the situation before you dive head first back into the relationship. You will know within a few weeks if it's right or not.
This happens all the time, and most people wonder if getting your ex back is the right way to go. The fact of the matter is that time heals all wounds. With every day that passes by, more of the truth will reveal itself. If your ex is serious about a reconciliation, play tough to get, but keep this scenario in perspective. This way if you find out later that your ex wasn't serious about returning to you than it will help minimize a lot of emotional hurt.

Searching For A New Home: How To Find The Perfect House......!!!!!!
Looking for a new home is a complicated business. There are so many factors to consider, including the type of property you would feel comfortable in, the style of building you would like to live in, how much you can afford to pay, the amenities and transport links in the local area, and whether it will be near enough to work or to school. The difficulties increase with each member of the family that needs to be considered. If there are two of you who work in different places, where will you both be able to commute to work from? If you have (or are planning to have children) will they be close enough to a good school? If you have a dog will the garden be big enough?
Before you even begin looking at actual houses you should work out what you will be looking for. What are the essential requirements for your dream home, and what would you like to have but could do without? Are there any features that would completely put you off a house, or which you wouldn't like but could cope with?
You should think about what you are looking for both in the house itself and in its location. Features you might want to consider include the numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, the style of the property, the sizes of the rooms, and the atmosphere of the neighborhood. You might also be looking for a property with specific features, for example you might be dreaming of having your own pool, or desperate for a stunning view.
Once you know what you want, you should work out what you can afford, and where you should look for your new home. You probably have some ides of location already- for example a region or a city in which you will be working, or where you have friends and relatives. You now need to narrow this down to particular neighborhoods. This means finding out what the different parts of the area are like, what sort of properties are available in them, and how much they are likely to sell for. You will need to know what your own budget is, including how much you will be able to borrow and how large your deposit will be. You should be able to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you choose your new home, so you will know exactly how much you have available to spend. < There are a number of different places where you can find out about homes for sale. The most obvious way is to visit the realtors who serve the areas you are interested in. They will be able to tell you about any properties they have on offer that meet your requirements. You can also take the initiative and look around for yourself. Houses are often advertised in local newspapers, and there are plenty of websites that will allow you to search for homes that match your criteria. It can also be a good idea to drive or walk through any neighborhood that you are particularly interested in as you may catch sight of a "for sale" sign. Even if you don't find anything new this will give you a chance to take a quick look at any properties you have already heard about, and to get a feel for the area. Looking for yourself can bring properties to your attention that you will be able to follow up with the relevant realtor, but you could also come across something that is being sold privately. If you do decide to find out more about such a property, or even to make an offer on one, then you should make sure you are dealing with a trustworthy seller. Get legal advice and make sure that you understand the contracts you sign, particularly what will happen to your deposit if the sale falls through. You should always make sure that you know what you are letting yourself in for before you buy a new house. Get a thorough, professional inspection in order to uncover any hidden problems that could be costly to get fixed, and don't let yourself get carried away by emotion, and don't make any snap decisions. It is rarely a good idea to agree to buy a house on the day that you see it, or to buy the first place that you look at. Make sure you are making the right choice. Keep a clear head and don't let your love for what seems like a dream house tempt you into buying something that will turn out to be a nightmare to live in.

Information on Thyroid Cancer
There are about 20,000 new cases of thyroid cancer each year in the United States.
Females are more likely to have thyroid cancer at a ratio of three to one. Thyroid cancer can occur in any age group, although it is most common after age 30 and its aggressiveness increases significantly in older patients.
The majority of patients present with a nodule on their thyroid which typically does not cause symptoms. Remember, over 99% of thyroid nodules are not cancer! But, when a thyroid cancer does begin to grow within a thyroid gland, it almost always does so within a discrete nodule within the thyroid.
Symptoms of thyroid cancer: Occasionally, symptoms such as hoarseness, neck pain, and enlarged lymph nodes do occur in people with thyroid cancer.. Although as much as 75 % of the population will have thyroid nodules, the vast majority are benign. That’s right, most of us have nodule in our thyroid glands! Young people usually don’t have thyroid nodules, but as we get older, more and more of us will develop a nodule. By the time we are 80, 90% of us will have at least one nodule. Far less than 1% of all thyroid nodules are malignant A nodule which is cold on scan is more likely to be malignant, nevertheless, the majority of these are benign as well Thyroid Cancer Type and Incidence Papillary and/or mixed papillary/follicular ~ 78%
[ Follicular and/or Hurthle cell ~ 17% Medullary ~ 4% Anaplastic ~ 1% Overview of Typical
Thyroid Cancer Treatment : Usually diagnosed by sticking a needle into a thyroid nodule or removal of a worrisome thyroid nodule by a surgeon.
The removed thyroid nodule is looked at under a microscope by a pathologist who will then decide if the nodule is benign (95 – 99% of all nodules that are biopsied) or malignant (way less than 1% of all nodules, and about 1 – 5 % of nodules that are biopsied).
The pathologist decides which type of thyroid cancer it is: papillary, follicular, mixed papilofollicuar, medullary, or anaplastic.
The entire thyroid is removed by a competent surgeon (sometimes this is done during the same operation where the biopsy takes place). He/she will assess the lymph nodes in the neck to see if they need to be removed also.
In the case of anaplastic thyroid cancer, a decision will be made regarding the possibility of a tracheotomy. About 4-6 weeks after the thyroid has been removed, the patient will undergo radioactive iodine treatment. This is very simple and consists of taking a single pill. The pill will contain the radioactive iodine in the dose that has been calculated for that individual.
The patient goes home, avoids contact with other people for a couple of days (so they are not exposed to the radioactive materials), and that’s it.
A week or two after the radioactive iodine treatment the patient is started on a thyroid hormone pill. You can’t live without thyroid hormone and since you don’t have a thyroid anymore, the patient will take one pill per day for the rest of their life.
This is very simple and a very common medication (example of drug names are: Synthroid, Levoxyl, Armour Thyroid, etc).
Every 6 – 12 months the patient returns to his endocrinologist for blood tests to determine if the dose of daily thyroid hormone is correct and to make sure that the thyroid tumor is not coming back. The frequency of these follow up tests and which tests to get will vary greatly from patient to patient. Endocrinologists are typically quite good at this and will typically be the type of doctor that follows this patient long-term.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS :
1. No Breakfast : People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2 . Overeating : It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking : It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption : Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution : The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation : Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..
7. Head covered while sleeping : Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness : Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods......
Top five cancer-causing food :
1. Hot Dogs Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Great Tips On Hair Care
If you want your hair to grow long and healthy, you will want to make sure that you take care of it as much as you possibly can.
Use a good shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, as well as a good leave-in conditioner.
Always remember that you should avoid using a brush on your hair when it is wet, so invest in a wide toothed comb.
Don’t make extreme changes in color, such as going from a shade of blonde to black.
Be sure to avoid using hot styling tools, such as blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons too frequently.
Try to limit it to once to twice a week, as more than that may cause heat damage to your hair. Proper hair care is not only essential to healthy hair, but it is also an important key to the hair growth process.

FOUR FRIENDS AND THE HUNTER
Long, long ago, there lived three friends in a jungle.
They were-a deer, a crow and a mouse. They used to share their meals together.
One day, a turtle came to them and said, "I also want to join your company and become your friend. I'm all alone. "You're most welcome," said the crow. "But what about your personal safety. There are many hunters around. They visit this jungle regularly. Suppose, a hunter comes, how will you save yourself?" "That is the reason why I want to join your group," said the turtle.
No sooner had they talked about it than a hunter appeared on the scene. Seeing the hunter, the deer darted away; the crow flew in the sky and the mouse ran into a hole. The turtle tried to crawl away fast, but he was caught by the hunter. The hunter tied him up in the net.
He was sad to lose the deer. But he thought, it was better to feast on the turtle rather than to go hungry. The turtle's three friends became much worried to see his friend trapped by the hunter. They sat together to think of some plan to free his friend from the hunter's snare.
The crow then flew high up in the sky and spotted the hunter walking along the river bank. As per the plan the deer ran ahead of the hunter unnoticed and lay on the hunter's path as if dead. The hunter saw the deer from a distance, lying on the ground. He was very happy to have found it again. "Now I'll have a good feast on it and sell its beautiful skin in the market," thought the hunter to himself. He put down the turtle on to the ground and ran to pick up the deer.
In the meantime, as planned, the rat gnawed through the net and freed the turtle. The turtle hurriedly crawled away into the river water. Unaware of the plot of these friends, the hunter went to fetch the dear for its tasty flesh and beautiful skin. But, what he saw with his mouth agape was that, when he reached near, the deer suddenly sprang up to its feet and darted away in the jungle. Before he could understand anything, the deer had disappeared.
Dejected, the hunter turned back to collect the turtle he had left behind on the ground in the snare. But he was shocked to see the snare lying nibbled at and the turtle missing. For a moment, the hunter thought that he was dreaming. But the damaged snare lying on the ground was proof enough to confirm that he was very much awake and he was compelled to believe that some miracle had taken place.
The hunter got frightened on account of these happenings and ran out of the jungle. The four friends once again started living happily.
Moral :A friend in need is a friend indeed...............

Be The Best of Whatever You Are
If you can't be a pine on top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley - but be The best little scrub at the side of the rill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass Some highway to happier make.
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass, But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can't all be captains, we've got to have crew, There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser work too And the task we must do is near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail. If you can't be the sun be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or you fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES
The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health.
Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat. This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles. By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG (Ajinomoto), it will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.
CORRECT METHOD :
1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
4.. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
Dietitian's Note: If you buy plain Hakka noodles you may initially need to boil it in water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles,but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil,also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and then dust it with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling.
Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this is the type we use to make stir fry noodles,and the regular Maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives.
A large number of patient with the ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatic either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles.... If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...
