Recent Discovery A Breakthrough For Texans Concerned About Diabetes? British researchers believe they may have found a molecule that can taste sweets. This breakthrough could lead to better lines of treatment for the hundreds of thousands of diabetics who live in Dallas, Houston, Austin and elsewhere in the state of Texas. Free Treatment For Diabetics In Texas: Exercise Well, well, well. I do believe we finally have a winner: free therapy for the growing number of those with diabetes. It turns out there are few excuses for diabetics -- or any of us, for that matter -- not to exercise. According to recent reports, nearly any form of exercise benefits the long-term control of blood sugar levels, be it aerobic, weight/resistance training, or both. Texans Deal With Medications That May Kill Them: Avandia Linked With Causing Heart Attacks In Those It's becoming increasingly difficult for diabetics to know which is worse -- having the disease, or realizing the treatment for it just might be fatal, too.

Drug Used To Treat Diabetes In Texas May Kill Patients Another drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may increase the risk of heart attacks and deaths. Avandia, a medication that has been used to treat diabetes for eight years now, and has been prescribed for six million people worldwide, has come under attack in light of recent reports.

While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unfortunately unaware that they have the disease.

In a new report from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), one in five individuals in the country is either at high risk for developing Type-2 diabetes or are unaware that they already have diabetes.
