Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

With the current events that we all know and the food shortages, I thought I would tell you about Jerusalem artichokes, a sunflower that has edible tubers.

I had heard about them last year and decided it would be a great addition to my food forest (Food Forest Gardening). So I bought 10 tubers from a seller on eBay and planted them last spring.

Autumn came around and the beautiful sunflowers died down. The sunflowers were around 6 ft tall and produced multiple branches of flowering heads that were about 6 inches in diameter.

And what these nomenclatures change in practice? Now, the treatment. Our patient, for whom the combination of several pills had not had the expected effect, starts to use. insulin and, bingo!, glucose is finally tamed. Episodes like this used to correspond to 5% of cases initially labeled type 2 diabetes. But new estimates indicate that LADA, sneaky, is present in one in ten of these citizens. Few people? Not even. Diabetes as a whole affects more than half a billion people across the planet, at least 15 million in Brazil. If we consider that 90% of this audience has type 2, doing the math we will see that LADA is more significant than we think. The numbers of last atlas of the International Diabetes Federation they stressed that the problem, in its various forms, makes up one of the most complex equations in public health – not to mention the incalculable impact on the quality of life of people and families. And the horizon is not one of the most exciting. “We live in a scenario of weight gain, physical inactivity and inadequate diet.

And a starting point is to understand that not all diabetes is the same and how the personalization of treatment – accompanied by some standardized strategies, however paradoxical it sounds – will be decisive to enjoy what the advancement of medicine and technological innovation are about to offer.  Source: Diabetes in transformation: what is changing in treatment – Magic Mistura を
