Diabetes is a multisystem disease related to abnormal insulin production or impaired insulin utilization, leading to heart disease, stroke, blindness and limb amputations. There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1 is characterized by the inability to produce insulin and usually occurs in younger people; Type 2 accounts for 90% of cases and is associated with insulin resistance and overweight individuals; Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. The major components of diabetes management are diet, exercise, oral hypoglycemic therapy or insulin therapy, and self-care education.
Obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells become resistant to insulin or the body does not produce enough insulin. Nearly 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity can help prevent or manage diabetes by reducing strain on the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Medical nutrition therapy, such as modest weight loss through calorie reduction, can improve insulin resistance and diabetes symptoms.
This document provides guidelines for the management of diabetes through diet and nutrition. It outlines the main goals of treatment as making patients symptom-free and preventing complications. Target blood glucose and lipid levels are listed. A balanced diet with appropriate proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fibers is recommended. Factors like age, gender, diabetes type, weight, and medical conditions determine an individual's diet. Meal planning considers calorie needs and glycemic index values of foods. Dietary education tools like food groups, exchanges, and carbohydrate counting are discussed to help patients understand healthy eating.

This document examines geographic variation in private health care spending in the United States. It finds that spending per episode of care for coronary stent placement, laparoscopic appendectomy, and total hip replacement procedures varies significantly across metropolitan areas, even after adjusting for differences in costs and patient characteristics. The largest contributor to this variation is differences in the price of the initial hospital inpatient admission across areas, which accounts for over 90% of the difference in spending between high- and low-cost areas for all three procedures. Professional service prices and intensity also contribute, but to a lesser degree. Areas with higher prices and intensity, but lower service volumes, tend to have higher overall spending per episode.

- US manufacturers sold $5.6 trillion of goods, of which $4.4 trillion (79%) was considered "Made in the USA" based on value added and domestic sourcing estimates.
- Domestic content accounted for 51 cents of every dollar spent by US consumers and businesses on manufactured goods, ranging from 79 cents per dollar for food/beverages to 7 cents per dollar for apparel.
- Industries with the largest dollar values of American content were food/beverages, chemicals, petroleum products, and motor vehicles/parts.
FTC Internet of Things Report
The report includes the following recommendations for companies developing Internet of Things devices:
build security into devices at the outset, rather than as an afterthought in the design process;
train employees about the importance of security, and ensure that security is managed at an appropriate level in the organization;
ensure that when outside service providers are hired, that those providers are capable of maintaining reasonable security, and provide reasonable oversight of the providers;
when a security risk is identified, consider a “defense-in-depth” strategy whereby multiple layers of security may be used to defend against a particular risk;
consider measures to keep unauthorized users from accessing a consumer’s device, data, or personal information stored on the network;
monitor connected devices throughout their expected life cycle, and where feasible, provide security patches to cover known risks.

This document is a report from NERA Economic Consulting to the U.S. Department of Energy analyzing the macroeconomic impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the United States. The report contains a summary of key assumptions, results, and conclusions from NERA's analysis using their global natural gas market model and NewERA macroeconomic model. The analysis found that LNG exports are only feasible under scenarios with high international demand and/or low U.S. production costs. U.S. natural gas prices do not rise to world prices under any scenario. Consumer welfare improves in all scenarios analyzed due to net economic benefits to the U.S. from LNG exports.
This document summarizes a study by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General examining Medicare outlier payments to hospitals from 2008-2011. The study found that while nearly all hospitals received some outlier payments, 158 hospitals received a much higher proportion of 12.8% of their Medicare reimbursements from outliers, compared to 2.2% for other hospitals. These "high outlier" hospitals charged substantially more for the same diagnoses but had similar patient lengths of stay. Certain diagnoses were found to frequently trigger outlier payments, with 16 diagnoses accounting for over 41% of such payments. The report recommends increased monitoring of outlier payments and examination of coding practices around high outlier diagnoses.

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It is caused by a deficiency of the hormone insulin, which helps the body convert sugar from food into energy. People with diabetes often have high levels of sugar in their blood, which can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, weight loss, and blurred vision. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as exercising regularly, eating healthy, and taking medications, as well as monitoring blood sugar levels. With proper treatment and management, people with diabetes can enjoy a normal life. Know more from the documents

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Diabetes and CAM: A Focus on
Dietary Supplements
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions of Americans.
Conventional medical treatments are available to control diabetes and
its complications. However, some people also try complementary and
alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, including dietary supplements.
This fact sheet provides basic information on diabetes (with a focus on
type 2), summarizes scientific research on the effectiveness and safety
of selected supplements that people with diabetes sometimes use, and
suggests sources for additional information.
Key Points
In general, there is not enough scientific evidence to prove that
dietary supplements have substantial benefits for type 2
diabetes or its complications.
It is very important not to replace conventional medical therapy
for diabetes with an unproven CAM therapy.
Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and
alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what
you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated
and safe care.
About Diabetes
Diabetes encompasses a group of diseases. Type 2 diabetes accounts
for 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases and occurs more frequently
in older people. Type 1 diabetes, which accounts for 5 to 10 percent of
cases, usually strikes children and young adults. A third form,
gestational diabetes, develops in some women during pregnancy.
In all forms of diabetes, the body’s ability to convert food into energy
is impaired. After a meal, the body breaks down most food into
glucose (a kind of sugar), the main source of fuel for cells. In people
with diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin—a hormone
that helps glucose enter cells—or the cells do not respond to insulin
properly. Often, both insulin production and insulin action are
impaired. Without treatment, glucose builds up in the blood instead
2.
of moving into the cells, where it can be converted into energy. Over time, the high blood
glucose levels caused by diabetes can damage many parts of the body, including the heart and
blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, feet, and skin. Such complications can be prevented or
delayed by controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Type 2 diabetes, the focus of this fact sheet, most often is associated with older age (although
it is increasingly being diagnosed in children), obesity (about 80 percent of people with type 2
diabetes are overweight), a family history of diabetes, and physical inactivity. Certain minority
population groups are at greater risk, as are women who have had gestational diabetes. Type 2
diabetes usually begins as insulin resistance, a disorder in which cells do not use insulin
properly. Symptoms develop gradually and may include fatigue, frequent urination, excessive
thirst and hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds or sores. However, it is
possible to have type 2 diabetes without experiencing any symptoms.
People with diabetes should try to keep their blood glucose in a healthy range. The basic tools
for managing type 2 diabetes are healthy eating, physical activity, and blood glucose
monitoring. Many people also need to take prescription pills, insulin, or both.
To find out more about diabetes and related conditions, contact the National Diabetes
Information Clearinghouse (see “For More Information”).
Dietary Supplements and Type 2 Diabetes
Some people with diabetes use CAM therapies for their health condition. For example, they
may try acupuncture or biofeedback to help with painful symptoms. Some use dietary
supplements in efforts to improve their blood glucose control, manage symptoms, and lessen
the risk of developing serious complications such as heart problems.
This section addresses what is known about a few of the many supplements used for diabetes,
with a focus on some that have been studied in clinical trials, such as alpha-lipoic acid,
chromium, omega-3 fatty acids, and polyphenols.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA, also known as lipoic acid or thioctic acid) is an antioxidant—a
substance that protects against cell damage. ALA is found in certain foods, such as liver,
spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. Some people with type 2 diabetes take ALA supplements in the
hope of lowering blood glucose levels by improving the body’s ability to use insulin; others use
ALA to prevent or treat diabetic neuropathy (a nerve disorder). Supplements are marketed as
tablets or capsules.
ALA has been researched for its effect on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and
diabetic neuropathy. Some studies have found benefits, but more research is needed.
(There are some studies, reported from outside the United States, of ALA delivered
intravenously; however, this research is outside the scope of this fact sheet.)
Because ALA might lower blood sugar too much, people with diabetes who take it must
monitor their blood sugar levels very carefully.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral—that is, the body requires small amounts of it to
function properly. Some people with diabetes take chromium in an effort to improve their
blood glucose control. Chromium is found in many foods, but usually only in small amounts;
relatively good sources include meat, whole grain products, and some fruits, vegetables, and
spices. In supplement form (capsules and tablets), it is sold as chromium picolinate, chromium
chloride, and chromium nicotinate.
Chromium supplementation has been researched for its effect on glucose control in people
with diabetes. Study results have been mixed. Some researchers have found benefits, but
many of the studies have not been well designed. Additional, high-quality research is needed.
At low doses, short-term use of chromium appears to be safe for most adults. However,
people with diabetes should be aware that chromium might cause blood sugar levels to go
too low. High doses can cause serious side effects, including kidney problems—an issue of
special concern to people with diabetes.
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that come from foods such as fish, fish
oil, vegetable oil (primarily canola and soybean), walnuts, and wheat germ. Omega-3
supplements are available as capsules or oils (such as fish oil). Omega-3s are important in a
number of bodily functions, including the movement of calcium and other substances in and
out of cells, the relaxation and contraction of muscles, blood clotting, digestion, fertility, cell
division, and growth. In addition, omega-3s are thought to protect against heart disease,
reduce inflammation, and lower triglyceride levels.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been researched for their effect on controlling glucose and
reducing heart disease risk in people with type 2 diabetes. Studies show that omega-3 fatty
acids lower triglycerides, but do not affect blood glucose control, total cholesterol, or HDL
(good) cholesterol in people with diabetes. In some studies, omega-3 fatty acids also raised
LDL (bad) cholesterol. Additional research, particularly long-term studies that look
specifically at heart disease in people with diabetes, is needed.
Omega-3s appear to be safe for most adults at low-to-moderate doses. Safety questions
have been raised about fish oil supplements, because some species of fish can be
contaminated by substances such as mercury, pesticides, or PCBs. In high doses, fish oil
can interact with certain medications, including blood thinners and drugs used for high
blood pressure.
Polyphenols—antioxidants found in tea and dark chocolate, among other dietary sources—are
being studied for possible effects on vascular health (including blood pressure) and on the
body’s ability to use insulin.
Laboratory studies suggest that EGCG, a polyphenol found in green tea, may protect against
cardiovascular disease and have a beneficial effect on insulin activity and glucose control.
However, a few small clinical trials studying EGCG and green tea in people with diabetes
have not shown such effects.

No adverse effects of EGCG or green tea were discussed in these studies. Green tea is safe
for most adults when used in moderate amounts. However, green tea contains caffeine,
which can cause, in some people, insomnia, anxiety, or irritability, among other effects.
Green tea also has small amounts of vitamin K, which can make anticoagulant drugs, such
as warfarin, less effective.
Other supplements are also being studied for diabetes-related effects. For example:
Preliminary research has explored the use of garlic for lowering blood glucose levels, but
findings have not been consistent.
Studies of the effects of magnesium supplementation on blood glucose control have had
mixed results, although researchers have found that eating a diet high in magnesium may
lower the risk of diabetes.
There is not enough evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of coenzyme Q10
supplementation as a CAM therapy for diabetes; studies of its ability to affect glucose
control have had conflicting findings.
Researchers are studying whether the herb ginseng and the trace mineral vanadium might
help control glucose levels.
Some people with diabetes may also try botanicals such as prickly pear cactus, gurmar,
Coccinia indica, aloe vera, fenugreek, and bitter melon to control their glucose levels.
However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of these botanicals for diabetes.
If You Have Diabetes and Are Thinking About Using a
Dietary Supplement
Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you
use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure
coordinated and safe care. For tips about talking with your health care providers about
CAM, see NCCAM’s Time to Talk campaign at nccam.nih.gov/timetotalk/. Medicines for
diabetes and other health conditions may need to be adjusted if a person is also using a
dietary supplement.
Women who are pregnant or nursing, or people who are thinking of using supplements to
treat a child, should consult their health care provider before using any dietary supplement.
Do not replace scientifically proven treatments for diabetes with CAM treatments that are
unproven. The consequences of not following one’s prescribed medical regimen for
diabetes can be very serious.
Be aware that the label on a dietary supplement bottle may not accurately reflect what is inside.
For example, some tests of dietary supplements have found that the contents did not match the
dose on the label, and some herbal supplements have been found to be contaminated.

NCCAM-Funded Research
NCCAM-supported research includes projects studying the effects of:
Chromium on glucose control and vascular function
Yoga in people at risk for diabetes
Ginkgo biloba extract on diabetes medicines
EGCG on the body’s response to insulin
Reiki on diabetic neuropathy and heart function.
Also, researchers in the Diabetes Unit of NCCAM’s Division of Intramural Research (DIR) are
studying many aspects of diabetes, including what happens when the body does not properly
react to insulin. DIR-sponsored clinical trials include studies of the effects of vitamin C,
glucosamine, and dark chocolate on the body’s response to insulin.
