 In the first large study to assess iron stores and risk of type 2 diabetes in an apparently healthy population, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) found that higher iron stores were associated with significantly elevated risk of type 2 diabetes, independent of other known diabetes risk factors.  #hemochromatosis #diabetes #toomuchiron

 The number of Americans with diabetes has grown to about 24 million  people, or roughly 8 percent of the U.S. population, the government  announced recently. The number represents an increase of about 3 million  over two years. 

 Diabetics are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, one of the  world's biggest killers, 15 years earlier than other people. #heartdisease #diabetes

 While diet, exercise, weight loss, and medications are prescribed for  people with diabetes, more Americans are turning to nutritional support  for additional help. Studies confirm that vitamin D and calcium  supplementation are associated with a reduced risk of Type 1 and Type 2  diabetes. 

 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35 percent of Americans report getting less than the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep each night. This rampant deprivation has consequences, and not just grogginess: People who don’t get enough sleep are prone to a slew of health problems, including type 2 diabetes.
