Avandia Lawsuite

Avandia, a Drug Used to Treat Type 2 Diabetes, Has Been Linked to Heart Failure, Other Serious Health Problems Patients taking the Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia are 43 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack and 64 percent more likely to die from a cardiovascular disease, according to medical research published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Concerns about adverse side effects caused by Avandia (rosiglitazone) prompted the Food and Drug Administration in May 2007 to warn users and physicians about the risks associated with the drug. The FDA ordered Avandia's packaging to carry a prominent Black Box ? warning, the strongest such safety advisory the agency can order, about the risks of heart attack and cardiovascular complications linked to the drug. Since the drug was approved in 1992, Avandia has become the most popular Type 2 diabetes drug in the world, taken by more 10 million Americans with the blood-sugar disease. Possible Avandia Related Injuries Liver failure and liver damage Fluid in the lungs (Pulmonary edema) Swelling of the eye (Macular edema) Swollen legs or ankles Rapid, unexplained weight gain Tiredness Low blood pressure Changes in vision Shortness of breath Difficulty breathing Chest pains Dizziness Avandia Linked To Heart Failure! Heart failure, a condition in which the heart can no longer effectively circulate blood through the body, is the most serious injury associated with the use of Avandia.

American Heart Association sold out to Nintendo?

I follow Dr. 's Yoni Freedhoff's blog Weighty Matters (http://www.weightymatters.ca/2010/05/saturday-stories_22.html) I find it quite interesting and occassionaly find somethiin I just have to pass on. Dr. 's Yoni Freedhoff is a family doc and founder of Ottawa's Bariatric Medical Institute - a multi-disciplinary, ethical, evidence-based nutrition and weight management centre. You might want to sign up for his newletter.This week I just have to pass on hisSaturday Stories (http://www.weightymatters.ca/2010/05/saturday-stories_22.html) Cariobrief's take on how Nintendo bought the American Heart Association (http://cardiobrief.org/2010/05/17/good-morning-american-segment-lands-some-hard-punches-on-the-aha/). The BBC's report on how parents should be more worried about childhood inactivity than murder (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/education/10120160.stm) (and while I understand the comparison, I'd love to see the source of their 1 in 3 kids who are inactive will develop serious health problems as a consequence statistic). Science Based Medicine weighs in on whether or not cell phone use causes brain cancer (http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=5207). If you only read one article about soda taxes (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/19/business/economy/19leonhardt.html?hp), make it this one from the New York Times (though I find it laughable the columnist points to the American Heart Association as a source of credibility given their sell out to Nintendo and their atrocious Heart Check program) Dr. David Katz explains why the latest study that suggests red meat might not be so bad for us, might not be such a good study (http://www.davidkatzmd.com/admin/archives/chewing%20on%20meat.Katz.5-21-10.doc).

Sugar peak after meal is a problem that puts the diabetics at risk.

Sugar peak after meal is a problem that puts the diabetics at risk. Really the worry is not on the expanding waist lines. Instead people with diabetes should pay attention to the danger of a neglected post meal peak in blood glucose. In fact the University of Warwick's Medical School says that this post meal peak does more harm than even a persistent rise in blood glucose. The main focus of treatment for the diabetics has been to lower the blood glucose level with emphasis on fasting plasma glucose. Thank goodness that now most diabetics are highly proficient at maintaining the best blood sugar levels. This is dampened though by the recent suggestion that it is not enough to maintain optimized control. The Guideline for Management of Postmeal Glucose report was carried out by an international panel of diabetes specialists for the International Diabetes Federation. They examined the sugar peak after meal and found that lowering the postmeal plasma glucose is as vital or even more so than obtaining the optimum HbA1c levels. People without diabetes have sugar levels that seldom go higher than 7.8 mmol/l after a heavy holiday meal and these usually go back to normal reading two to three hours after food consumption. It is therefore the opinion of the experts that the diabetics should not have their blood glucose rise above the 7.8 mmo/l after meals. Naturally they were concerned that this is not the case. They found as many as 71% had a mean, two hour after meal, plasma... Read the rest of this entry »
