Traditional therapy when treating diabetics revolves around stabalizing glucose, and keeping blood pressure on the low side to reduce stress on the heart, both of which have been proven to be rather ineffective by results from the study.

Another belief when it came to reducing heart disease risk was also shot down by study results.

Monitoring one’s cholesterol levels to insure that the bad stuff is at a minimum was also thought to be a positive factor at reducing risk of adverse cardiac events but this belief was also shot down by the study.

Despite the study findings, doctors continue to stress the importance for diabetes patients to exercise and follow a healthy diet as both play an active role in blood pressure, as together, they all contribute to a healthy life.

The study was presented at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Atlanta, Ga.

Pacquiao spent the majority of the early rounds digging to the body, thus weakening Clottey for the later rounds.

Clottey looked very defensive through the majority of the fight, and appeared to be fighting to stay alive, not to win.

As the fight progressed, Pacquiao kept the intensity up, landing at will and chasing Clottey from one side of the ring to the other.

With daylight savings time, as you might guess, comes an extra hour of daylight, meaning that it will be getting darker later at night.

This is a good time of year to change the batteries in your smoke detector to make sure that they are in working order.

Changing the batteries in smoke alarms can be one of those little chores that we procrastinate doing, but in case of fire it is these little devices that often are the first warning we hear of danger.
