In the century since insulin was isolated, dramatic advances in monitoring and treating diabetes, from synthetic insulin to home glucose monitors to portable insulin pumps, have extended and improved the life of those with the disease. Yet diabetes is epidemic and remains the most common cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. In this sponsored virtual salon, three leading experts will discuss the field’s past, present, and possible future, including drugs that protect the heart and kidneys, an artificial pancreas to treat a patient’s failing organ, or even a path to the field’s holy grail: a cure.

Please join us for a virtual discussion and Q&A with luminaries in the field. Speakers include:

  • Boris Draznin, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine
  • Mikhail Kosiborod, Professor of Medicine, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine
  • Katherine R. Tuttle, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Washington
  • Clifford Goodman, PhD, Moderator, The Lewin Group

This Is What Fish Oil Supplements Actually Do

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions.

SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote.  "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'"  Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
