In what can be termed as an incremental step forward in the treatment of diabetes, a new study found a long lasting insulin drug degludec, injected three times a week, just as effective as a daily jab for controlling blood sugar.

According to researchers, degludec gets absorbed very slowly after being injected and has the potential to manage blood glucose and lower the risk of hypoglycaemia as well as glargine injections, an existing form of insulin to control blood sugar.

Tai chi is a mind-body approach that involves slow, rhythmic and repetitive movements with emphasis on breathing. This non-competitive, self-paced system of gentle, graceful flowing movements and stretching helps patients relax, enhance body strength, flexibility and mobility while relieving stress and anxiety.

The updated guidelines
In their first update since 2001, the guidelines recommend programs like the slow-motion Chinese martial art tai chi along with other physical therapy that target strength, gait, and balance to help prevent falls among older adults.

According to researchers, a standard medical consultation takes no longer than an average of six minutes while homeopathic doctors spend anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half with a patient.

Compared with a doctor's often simplistic finding of a pathogen, the homeopaths focus on personal details.

The dedicated attention very easily influences patients and they get great comfort and health benefits from the knowledge that someone cares so deeply.
