When our publisher, Steve Freed, BSPharm, and I first got together it was because I had found a soluble fiber product that lowered cholesterol levels and seemed to help control glucose levels. Steve explained that this fiber worked as a "bile acid sequestrant. Now he has found a whole class of drugs that work the same way, without the muss and fuss of mixing powder. Click here to learn more about one of these drugs.

This week is the AADE conference in Washington DC.  Don't forget to stop by our booth #645, and say hello and pick up a free box of WaterSensations, DiVinci Sugarfree Flavor Samples and learn about a new nutritional product developed by Dr. Aaron Vinik for neuropathy. 

Our new intern, Kate Messamore, PharmD Candidate, University of Florida has reviewed Neurophysiological Pathways to Obesity: Below Awareness and Beyond Individual Control written by Deborah A. Cohen, MD, MPH, at the RAND Corporation. This is some unbelievable information you have to read.

The Circulator Boot™
Long-Boot, Valve Assembly and Heart Monitor
Many people with diabetes are at risk of developing wounds on their feet that just won't heal. They're also at risk of getting hardened arteries in their legs, a condition that can be very painful. These issues are what cause some diabetics and some people with peripheral arterial disease to need amputations. But doctors at Mayo Clinic are using a special boot to help prevent amputations and save limbs.

Floating Balls
A simple demonstration can impact your patients.

Tina Trout can talk to patients about the way uncontrolled diabetes can affect their bodies, from heart disease to blindness and kidney problems, but sometimes it's the visual demonstration that works best.

She drops a few plastic balls in each jar and turns them upside down. With that, the effect diabetes has on the body becomes much clearer.  More information
