Help! Trepidation setting in…
Having not run since I was 11 years old (I remember that day well….) I have decided that I need to get off of my bottom and take my health more seriously. Having largely ignored insulin dependent diabetes since my diagnosis, due to the fact that I am invincible, having slowly and blatantly increased

Slowly but slowly they are catching up
This new paper discusses the power of FT4 testing against TSH and finds FT4 better. That's at least a small step forward in that it challenges TSH-is-all thinking in therapy. The authors haven't yet caught up as regards using FT3 measurement as well, but even a small step forward is good. Hennessey is

Cholesterol problems - high protein, good fat diet recommendations
Hi there, long-term lurker here. I am based in Switzerland although British by birth. I've recently been following a high protein diet plan which recommends lots of cheeses (hard and soft) and dairy products. The breakfasts consist of various combinations of high fat yoghurts, magerquark, Philadelphia

Statins oh Statins again
If Statins are meant to do virtually the same thing as a deterrent then why do people have to keep switching over because of intolerance to one and not another. Surely the aim of the drug is to lower cholesterol etc. So why the diversity ? I mean what are the manufacturers adding/taking away in one
