Mark,
>> P.S. Robin, the initial prognosis is that I am a type 1 member of the club. Hence, I'm looking forward to my very own swine islets. What colors do they come in? <<
(Chuckling) I like pink, personally. :)
I apologize for the erroneous assumption. The study you quote almost sounds like the one being used on the "buy my tea" sites to promote this stuff for NIDDMs, but they quote an Indian study performed on 22 NIDDMs. Perhaps I'm not reading what you posted right, but if it doesn't significantly lower HbA1c's or they actually remain "higher," I don't understand what good it the stuff is. I'll go read the study in full on Medline someday when my massive "to do" list drops below a thousand items. (grin)
Best,
Robin
