Asked by Cassandra, Hamden, Connecticut
I notice the color of my urine has gone from looking like champagne to looking like cranberry juice in three days. Should I be concerned? I am not on any medications.
Living Well Expert
Dr. Jennifer Shu
Children's Medical Group
Thanks for your question. There are many things that can turn a person's urine red, pink or any number of different colors.
Having red urine may mean that blood is present, such as from a woman's menstrual cycle. Strenuous exercise may also cause red blood cells to show up in the urine.
In addition, red urine may be a sign of kidney stones, urinary tract infections, injuries, liver disease, a blood clotting disorder or multiple other medical conditions.
Beets, berries and rhubarb have been known to make a person's urine turn red. Red dyes such as those found in candy or sugary cereals may do the same thing.
If this is the cause of the redness, avoiding these foods should end the color in the urine.
Certain antibiotics, blood thinners and laxatives may turn urine red or pink, too. Keep in mind that even if you are not taking any medications, supplements or home remedies could possibly be the culprit.
Red urine that happens rarely and briefly in a person who is healthy is usually not a cause for concern. If the red color persists, however, or if there are other symptoms, it's important to be seen by your doctor, who may test the urine for signs of blood, infection or other problems.
Good luck.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Meuniemg from Junk product Just like everyone else says this product is no good. Followed the directions and it didn't rise an inch. Threw it in the trash and had to use Kroger pizza dough instead. Don't waste your money.Date published: 2019-03-16Rated 1 out of 5 by syd0 from Does not rise Followed instructions. Let it rise for over an hour and did not rise at all. I live in S Florida so house is plenty warm. Put in fridge and next day let it sit out for two hours - still no change in volume. Had to bake pizzas as is and crust was awful. So frustrated with this product and it was a waste of money.Date published: 2018-10-09Rated 2 out of 5 by Cace from dough did not rise I used a thermometer and got the water to exactly 110 degrees, kneaded for exactly 10 minutes, and it's been two hours and the dough hasn't changed a bit. I'm so disappointed! Reading all sorts of articles on what to do. Looks like we may be having flatbread.Date published: 2016-01-23Rated 5 out of 5 by ATLJerseyGirl from My Favorite Quick Crust We love this crust! I use a tbsp.of garlic rosemary olive oil and a 1/2 tsp. of pizza seasoning for each crust. I boil 2 c. water in my microwave to to warm it up as a "proofing box" and once the dough is mixed up, I cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and a towel, then leave it in the warmed-up microwave to rise. In about an hour I have no problem with the dough doubling in size. The texture is great and it crisps up well. We grill our pizza and it rises very well. It also reheats well the next day!Date published: 2014-08-25Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob35 from Not worth the money This product does make two, 14-inch pizzas. The directions for making the pizzas are not particularly accurate. After mixing, the dough is supposed to double in size in an hour. After 2 hours, it increased in size by about 33%. The baking time was too short in my opinion as the crust came out soft, no crunch at all. The flavor was good.Date published: 2013-11-29

The sunny preseason outlooks for two of college football's mega-programs are already in serious doubt
All summer long, Texas coach Mack Brown tried to paint the most pleasant picture of his program, denying the notion that he was under pressure to win big this season.
Halfway across the country, Southern California athletics director Pat Haden posted a video on the school's athletics website declaring emphatically that Lane Kiffin was not on the proverbial hot seat.
Just two weeks into the season, those sunny outlooks for two of college football's mega-programs are already in serious doubt.
THE MISERY INDEX: Angst in Austin
END OF THE LINE: Texas fires defensive coordinator
Brown might not publicly acknowledge that his tenure at Texas is in jeopardy, but his actions Sunday said it all. Fewer than 24 hours after the Longhorns were embarrassed by Brigham Young, 40-21, Brown fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and replaced him with Greg Robinson, a former Syracuse head coach and veteran coordinator in the NFL and college ranks.
Meanwhile, USC fans chanted "Fire Kiffin" at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Saturday night as the Trojans, who were 15-point betting favorites against Washington State, fell 10-7.
For Brown and Kiffin, what has transpired the first two weeks isn't merely a worst-case scenario, it's practically apocalyptic.
Texas didn't just lose a road game to middling BYU, it was absolutely annihilated, yielding 550 rushing yards to a team whose offense has been one-dimensional and quite easy to defend most of the last two years. Brown pretty much tipped his hand after the game when reporters asked him if Diaz would continue as coordinator and he responded by saying he would need to watch the tape.
"Our performance on defense last night was unacceptable, and we need to change that," Brown said in a university release Sunday.
Diaz's firing might have been deserved, but it was certainly drastic and unprecedented; under Brown, Texas has never made an in-season coaching change, never mind after just two games. And maybe it will work. Last season, for instance, Georgia Tech fired defensive coordinator Al Groh after a 2-4 start and then showed marked improvement in a 5-3 finish.
In the bigger picture, though, it speaks to a Texas program that appears to be grasping at straws, not on a trajectory back to championship contention as Brown insisted in the offseason. Ever since Texas fell from the BCS title game in 2009 to 5-7 in 2010, the plan to rebuild has seemingly changed every year. The Longhorns didn't settle on a quarterback until late last season, were too slow to embrace an up-tempo offense and made some recruiting-oriented staff hires in the offseason that indicated Brown was concerned about that department.
There's also the undeniable age issue. Despite significant support from athletics director DeLoss Dodds and school President Bill Powers, whose trust Brown has earned over his 15-plus seasons, he is 62 and facing a new in-state challenge from resurgent Texas A&M with a young, dynamic staff and a hot new brand.
Age also works against Kiffin, but in a different way. Though Kiffin is just 38 years old, he has been around the college scene long enough now that he no longer gets the benefit of the doubt for a learning curve.
Even in the most conservative projections for USC, which had the challenge of replacing quarterback Matt Barkley and receiver Robert Woods, losing to Washington State seemed impossible with the Cougars coming off a 3-9 season. If this was a fluke, Saturday's performance could be easily forgotten, but there's plenty of evidence now to suggest it is what the Trojans have become.
After last season's fall from preseason No. 1 in the Associated Press media poll to 7-6, USC struggled far more than it should have in a season-opening 30-13 victory at woeful Hawaii. The Trojans have recruited far too well to play like this, and that ultimately falls on Kiffin.
Despite the message board outrage from their respective fan bases, it's not a done deal for Brown or Kiffin. Just ask Mark Richt, who faced the pitchforks from Georgia fans after an 0-2 start in 2011 and then won 10 in a row.
Though the hot seat talk was always going to be there at the first sign of trouble, the process is now accelerated. These are two of the most coveted jobs and powerful programs in the country, and unless Texas or USC shows signs of a turnaround — and soon — speculation about the next coaches at those schools will be loud all the way until December.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers dropped their previous two games against the Denver Nuggets.
This time, they closed with a flourish.
Isaiah Thomas scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers rallied to beat the Nuggets 112-103 on Tuesday night.
"It was a tough, physical game and we were the tougher team," Thomas said. "We definitely took that from them."
Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma each had 26 points and 13 rebounds for Los Angeles, which trailed by as many as 13. Kuzma had only two points in the first half.
Kuzma sprained his right ankle in the final seconds of the third quarter and left the game to get it re-taped. But he returned in time to help the Lakers to their third win in four games, including a 127-113 victory over LeBron James and Cleveland on Sunday night.
"He showed a lot of toughness," Lakers coach Luke Walton said. "He sprained the ankle and kept telling me, 'Coach, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go.' I put him back eventually and he helped us close out that game."
Wilson Chandler had 26 points and 10 rebounds for Denver, which beat Los Angeles 125-116 on Friday night. Jamal Murray finished with 18 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Chandler's layup with 2:21 left in the third gave Denver an 80-67 lead, but the Nuggets couldn't hold on.
"I thought we had some guys out there in that end of the third quarter that were not ready to play," Nuggets coach Mike Malone said. "That hurt us to close that quarter in a big way."
Thomas' 3-pointer trimmed Denver's advantage to 84-83 with 9:45 to go. Thomas made two free throws with 8:24 remaining, sparking a key 9-0 run for Los Angeles.
After Chandler's 3 got the Nuggets within three with 2:38 remaining, Randle responded with a layup off a pass from Lonzo Ball. Thomas scored again and Randle had a big dunk to extend the lead to 108-99 with 1:09 left.
Ball had nine rebounds and a game-high eight assists, but finished with just five points on 2-for-11 shooting. He was 1 for 7 from 3-point range.
It was Ball's second consecutive poor shooting performance. He shot 2 of 11 against the Cavaliers, and made only one of his six 3-point attempts.
The Staples Center crowd booed Murray when he was introduced at the start of the game and every time he touched the ball. The crowd engaged in an anti-Murray chant late in the night.
The Lakers had run-ins with Murray in the previous two games they played in Denver. Back in December, Murray dribbled around Ball as time expired. On Friday, Walton had words for Murray after he displayed what the coach called "disrespectful" behavior.
Malone said before the game he told the team to not get caught up in any "nonsense" or "shenanigans."
"If we're worried about what's gonna happen tonight, then we're not focusing on the task at hand," Malone said. "We have a job to do. Regardless of what their motivation is tonight, we have a job to do. We can't let them deter us from that."
Nuggets: Tied the Lakers at 44 in points in the paint. ... Nikola Jokic added 15 points, nine rebound and five assists.
Lakers: Brook Lopez and Randle scored the first 19 points for the Lakers. Lopez finished with 17. ... Kuzma made five of Los Angeles' 15 3-pointers.
Nuggets: Host the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
Lakers: At the Golden State Warriors on Thursday in the second night of a back-to-back.

Block Party: sCrUBBIE Style
Tuesday's Chicago Tribune featured the following snippet:
The Cubs announced the first Wrigleyville Block Party will be held Friday to Sunday on the west side of the ballpark during the Yankees series. The event is free and features bands, food and drink booths and "interactive" entertainment for families.
Oh, really?
Folks, let me be blunt. Unless clogged streets of drunken youths and bands of impatient motorists with horn-happy hands represent the ideal, outside of hosting an actual baseball game, there is very little family-friendly about Wrigleyville. Remember, this the same Wrigleyville where I was assaulted by a blabbering drunk because I was… *gasp*… wearing a pink shirt.
So, curious as to what sort of block party events the Cubs front office planned for the neighborhood, the RSBS interns were sent out on an important reconnaissance mission, and this is what they found:
Pin the Tail on Rats Big as Pigs
In this fun event, lucky participants are encouraged to hunt down Wrigley rats. What they catch, they can keep. Extra points are rewarded for doing it while talking in an exaggerated Ozzie Guillen accent ("rats as beeeg as peeegs").
The Racist Frozen T-Shirt Game
Pay $10 and you can compete against your peers to see who can put the frozen "Horry Kow" t-shirt the fastest. If anti-Asian ain't your style, try the "Pujols Mows My Lawn" tee! Fun for the whole family!
Annoying Fan Photo Op
Fork over $25 and you can choose to have your picture taken with world famous Cubs fans Rod Blagojevich, Denise Richards or… Ronnie Woo Woo! Then again, you can also take that $25 and burn it; it's essentially the same thing.
The Drink Overpriced Horse P!ss Booth
At this funfest, you can drink $7 Old Styles until you a) get sick b) go broke or c) start rooting for the Cardinals!
And finally… the most exciting event of them all…
The Write a Bad Contract Raffle
Participants empty their bank accounts and hand everything over to Jim Hendry, who will then do what he does best: waste money on bad baseball players.
It's a good thing the Yankees are in town, otherwise Wrigleyville would be a complete mess.
Hate me 'cuz I kick 'em when they're down, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

For a governor who got nearly everything he wanted in the new state budget, this was a victory lap. He appeared with Democratic legislative leaders at the Capitol and declared the state's finances are in shape for the first time in more than a decade.
"I don't say all problems are over or that we don't have some longer-term liabilities, but the budget is balanced in accordance with generally perceived and accepted accounting principles," he told a room packed with lawmakers, staff and interest groups. "That's something we haven't had before."
The governor who declared he'd stand firm against more spending honored the deal he struck with legislative Democrats and did not line-item veto their new investments. He used his blue pencil to strike just $40 million – the vast majority coming from special education and preschool programs.
The spending plan relies on the governor's more cautious revenue estimates and includes a reserve of just over $1 billion. It includes new spending for several programs pushed by legislative Democrats, such as middle class college scholarships and mental health care.
It also includes the governor's sweeping overhaul to the formula that funds California schools. Districts with high numbers of low-income students and English language learners will receive more money than they do now.
Here's the list of the governor's line-item vetoes (scroll down to the last few pages of the PDF file).

Persona 5 just got announced for 2015. That means that there will be at least one game that's a strong contender for getting people to turn on their PS3s next year. If new games keep coming for Sony's previous video game console in 2015, the PS3 will have had a life cycle of at least 10 calendar years. Maybe even more. So, how about a scrapbook of sorts, filled with standout games from each year of the PS3's existence?
We're still in the window where we might see cross-gen releases for the PS3 and PS4 and today's Persona news makes it clear that it's too soon to think about waving goodbye to the former system. But that doesn't mean that we can't talk about favourite PS3 games. Here's a very comprehensive list of PS3 releases, if you need to refresh your memory. So, please jump into the threads below and tell us your most loved PS3 release from the corresponding year.

Questions and Answers - medication and insulin
Q: I have type 2 diabetes and have been on insulin for a year now. I have lost some weight and my A1C has dropped from 9.5 to 6.5 but I am having a lot of lows ranging from upper 40's to 60's. I am wondering if maybe I might be able to get off insulin. I feel that my oral med is starting to work better now that my beta cells have had a rest. Can that be true?
A: Yes, your cells are also in a better position to uptake glucose from the bloodstream now that you have decreased body fat. You should see your physician ASAP to get this adjusted. 40's are a dangerous range to be in. He/she may start weaning you off insulin, watching your levels along the way.
Q: How much is blood sugar decreased for every unit of novolog insulin?
A: A starting point is to consider that one unit of insulin will lower the glucose 50 points. This can vary from 30-100 points, depending on one's insulin sensitivity, exercise habits, food choices or other variables. Time will tell for you as you test and track your numbers to see if a pattern evolves.
Q: What medication is used to replace metformin when liver enzymes are high and the endocrinologist discontinues this medication?
A: Much will depend on the advancement of your diabetes and other medications you might be taking. Your physician might choose a meglitinide such as Prandin or an alpha-clucosidase inhibitor such as Precose. Insulin would be another choice. There are other meds and newer ones always in the mill. Some physicians keep their patients on Metformin if the enzyme levels are not too high. If your numbers are not too high and you are otherwise healthy, focus on lifestyle management. Losing body fat, if needed, can help to get things under control.
Q: My bottle of insulin will expire next month. Can I still use it or do I need to throw it away?
A: Expiration dates usually have a grace period. If stored properly, you should be fine. I would assume that your insulin would also be used up sometime around the expiration date. Just to be sure, inquire from your pharmacist or source of your insulin what they advise.
Q: A lot of times I'll forget to take my insulin before eating, especially when I go out to eat. Does it help any to take the shot after I've eaten?
A: Yes, if you are referring to short acting insulin. Of course, this will depend on how long after eating you are referring to. Your food may peak an hour after eating, especially if you ate carbs. I suggest you work out a scale or insulin adjustment schedule with your physician. Generally, 1 unit of insulin is geared to lower 15 grams of carbs. It may take a few guided trials for you to learn how your blood sugars respond to insulin taken post-meal.
Q: When injecting insulin, are you supposed to rotate within the site or rotate sites?
A: You can do both. The best injection site is abdominal, rotating at least an inch away from the navel. The second best site is the "pinch" of the upper arm. Thighs can be used prior to sleeping. It is best to spend at least a week rotating in one area before moving on. If you can stay with the abdominal area, that would be ideal.
Q: Is it more effective if I take my insulin in the morning instead of the evening like I do now?
A: This depends on the type of insulin you are on. If it is a basal insulin, it is often suggested to be taken at night. Even though there is not a peak with basal insulin, it cannot perfectly mimic our physiology; some get better control with the night time dose. Sometimes, it is trial and error to see whether morning or evening works better; sometimes both an a.m. and p.m. injection get better control. Check with your physician to determine when the best injection time is for you.
Q: I am going to have to switch my insulin because Novo Nordisc is taking their Novolin N and R products off the market. I am not sure the pen is the best for me because once my insulin peaks my blood sugar drops very quickly. Do you have any suggestions for insulins I should research and ask my doctor about?
A: Have you and your physician discussed using a basal insulin to better balance those peaks and valleys that can occur with intermediate acting insulin? I would assume your physician is abreast of the changes and would begin to have an alternative plan for you. When switching insulin, it may take some closer management for a time as no two companies have the exact same formula. If one is accustomed to taking the R separately, a combo pen is not the best substitute for reasons you note; the control cannot be as exact since combo pens are set ratios.
Q: At my last appointment my doctor said to take 1 or 2 doses of metformin as necessary. If I take just one pill, my morning and evening readings are 100-120. If I take two pills, the readings are more in the 80-110 range. Is it better to eliminate some medication at the expense of higher readings?
A: If you are actively following a healthy lifestyle and losing weight if that is part of your program, the single dose may be just fine in the short run while you see lifestyle interventions achieve some more lowering. If you don't exceed 120 daytime, that is great! If you have no other cardiac conditions, then the single dose may be preferred. Be sure your physician gives you glucose levels to target.
Q: I am on metforim for type 2 diabetes. It has improved my glucose levels from but I am wondering if this is too much medicine and if it might cause kidney problems!?
A: All medications have potential side effects. When on metformin, you should be getting you liver enzymes checked every 3 months, at least initially making sure you are stabilized. This is a great time for you to truly start a Healthy Lifestyle Plan, working towards reducing excess body fat if that is an issue. It is possible to reduce/stop medication and there are those who have successfully been able to keep blood sugars in range without medication. Get whatever assistance you need here if you are unclear about whole foods eating and an active lifestyle. There are nutritional supplements that are also helpful. What is best for you will depend in part on any other health conditions/medications you may be taking. With patience, focus, and time spent to learn about your condition, you should certainly make progress.
Q: Does injecting insulin into the stomach cause additional fat to accumulate there?
A: Fat deposits do tend to increase where one has the greatest aggregation of fat cells, which for many, is in the belly. The increase would come if one is gaining body fat. Insulin does have a job of depositing the byproducts of both protein and fat digestion into the cells, along with glucose: the end product of carbs. If your caloric intake exceeds your activity output, you will gain fat and it will most likely show up in the belly. What one may experience is some hardening of the tissue in the belly if injections are administered over a long period and are not routinely rotated in the area. Still, abdominal injections are the most effective.
Q: I have had type II diabetes for 15 yrs. I have been working very hard at diet and exercise and have lost 20 pounds. Three months ago my A1C was 6.8. and now it is 7.9. The doctors want to put me on insulin now. Is there any other oral meds that I can take before I have to go this route? Right now I am taking Metformin 1000mg 2x a day, Glyburide 5mg x 2 twice a day and Avandia 4mg 2 x a day.
A: At this point, they have about maxed you out on your existing oral medications. I think going on a term of insulin would be wise, in order to give your insulin producing cells a rest and possibly regroup a bit. People have "needle fear", but when done in the fat of the belly, insulin injections are not painful. Insulin is generally less toxic to the system and has fewer side effects than the oral meds you are taking. Try to get back in that good control you were in, and remain very diligent about lifestyle. Learn carb counting initially and, in time, you will begin to know what affects you and what doesn't. As you continue to lose body fat and become leaner, you may find yourself needing less insulin. Keep a fish/veggies diet focus, and you will achieve faster results. You may need a tune up with a knowledgeable diabetes educator/nutritionist if unclear about whole foods eating and truly nutrient dense foods.
Q: Is it possible for someone with insulin resistance to take too much insulin? I am finding it necessary to gradually increase my daily injections of Humalog 25/75 to have satisfactory blood glucose readings.
A: Pre-mixed insulin cannot give the same fine tuning control that taking baseline/meal insulins separately can. I would assume you are getting low blood sugar reactions? Speak with your physician if this is the case. If you are willing to take your insulins separately, then you should be able to calibrate with your meals more effectively. This will mean learning to count carbs, which is good knowledge to have regardless.
Q: When on an insulin pump, is it alright to eat anything you want? My teenage stepdaughter who is visiting us right now eats more sugar than I've ever seen anyone eat and when I asked her about her sugar intake, and her response was, "It doesn't matter, I have the pump".
A: It certainly does matter how one eats with or without the pump and, in general, with or without diabetes. A pump does allow for a bit more leeway, but not a total sugar binge. In general, more teens are surfacing with conditions never before seen until later stages of life: high lipids, blood sugars and irritable bowel, to name a few. If she is to be living with you, then you would need to become more "proactive". It may be that if you don't see her that often that she is "playing" you like a substitute school teacher, getting away with whatever she can while she can. Be very clear about how she normally eats, and what her education and support is. Perhaps you might just consider bringing only healthier foods into the house. If you and others are eating the sugary foods, she, like any 13 year old, does not want to feel "abnormal". Nothing like a good example to set the stage for change.
Q: I take novolog 70/30 before breakfast and dinner. My bedtime blood sugar reading can go as low as 37 but then, first thing in the morning, I am up into the 200's and 300's. Do I need to switch my insulin?
A: I would suggest you discuss with your physician about switching to basal and mealtime insulins, which would mean more injections, but better control. In my experience, many folks require more insulin in the morning, because hormones kick in around dawn and tend to elevate blood sugars first thing in the morning. A basal insulin, taken once a day, gives you a better steady "trickle", then depending on the time of day and the meal, injections in different amounts help to give better control. This is where learning to count carbs, based on 1 unit insulin for every 15 grams of carbs, is a place to start. Over time you can fine tune the amounts once you know the composition of your meals and have a good handle on what you are eating and how much. This may take some homework for awhile, but is well worth it in the long run.
Q: What does it mean when a person has high insulin levels? Is this bad and what can it cause?
A: High insulin levels are often the result of years of less than desirable lifestyle habits such as poor food choices. Refined foods, especially carbs, produce sugar very quickly in the body, resulting in the pancreas secreting insulin to meet the demands of removing sugar from the bloodstream. In time, the insulin secreting cells get tired and stop working effectively.
Q: Could taking an anti-fungal medication cause my blood sugar levels to go too low? I have a toenail fungal infection and was prescribed Lamisil tablets. After 7-10 days of starting the Lamisil, my glucose levels started going very low and I had to reduce my insulin significantly to avoid hypo's. The problem is that although my readings are within a good range, have become extremely tired and have no energy.
A: You may be responding to the rapid shift in blood sugar levels, which can be fatiguing. You should adapt. If not, and nothing else has changed in your management, then it may be the medication. Ask your physician about this. As for dealing with future recurrences of the fungal infection, it may help to keep a good amount of fiber in your diet, drink lots of water, take a minimum a high quality multivitamin that suggests 2 pills/day, and one-two courses (bottles) of a probiotic which contains live bacteria that you find in yogurts.
Q: Is Glucovance causing my blood sugar to go too low? Since I have lost weight, my blood sugar goes as low as 70, which makes me very sweaty and faint.
A: The good news is that you probably don't need the medication now! Your efforts are paying off. You may be over medicated which could be dangerous by causing very low blood sugar levels. Notify your physician immediately to start cutting back with the goal to be total elimination of the medication.
Q: Is my blood pressure medication causing my blood sugar level to drop drastically each morning after I take it?
A: If you have not changed anything else in your diabetes management, you are most likely being affected by the blood pressure medication. Certainly your physician should be notified, and either recommend a medication change, and/or lower your diabetes medication.
Q: What could happen if someone were misdiagnosed as having diabetes and took insulin but didn't need it?
A: If a person doesn't need insulin, and is injected with it, there's a strong possibility of getting a very low blood sugar reaction, depending on the insulin dosage and the amount of food eaten. I personally have never heard of someone being misdiagnosed with diabetes. Before a person is started on insulin, a diagnosis of diabetes is clear via lab tests, and usually, blood sugars are high even with oral medications and lifestyle changes. In and of itself, insulin is not generally damaging.
Q: Can anti-inflammatory medications increase my blood sugar levels? I have been taking 600mg Ibuprofen 3 times a day and my sugar levels are the highest they have ever been.
A: Most likely the inflammation itself is the first cause of blood sugar rise. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) as a group are hard on the digestive tract over a long haul; this may affect your metabolism at some level. If this is short term for you and not a chronic treatment, you should return to better control as the inflammation subsides.
Q: I have type 1 diabetes and am wondering if I can take steroids for about 2 months?
A: Taking steroids is never considered without risk and I would strongly suggest you do not unless advised by your doctor for medical reasons. You can most likely expect the steroids to cause a rise in your blood sugars. Steroids when taken as a prescription often induce secondary diabetes. I am assuming that you are inquiring about steroids for muscle building. As an alternative, you may want to try a microfiltered whey protein powder w/o preservatives, sucralose, or other additives in it. This should be done under nutritional supervision to ensure a good dietary balance. Close monitoring of blood sugars is necessary.
Q: Is an increase in the amount of insulin that I require a sign that my diabetes is getting worse? I have been a diabetic going on 18 years and most of the time my blood sugar has been anywhere from 200 to 450. When I was first diagnosed, I took 5 to 10 units of insulin but now I take 15 units to 50 units depending on how high my sugar is.
A: In general, long standing diabetes where blood sugars run high can invite complications. Are you under close care of your physician where you are monitored every 3 months? High blood sugars may to due to many factors. Once diet/lifestyle are truly being well managed and blood sugars are still labile, it may be that forms of neuropathy have taken hold. Please do visit your concerns with your physician.
Q: What medication can be taken by a type 2 diabetic with leg ulcers, to offset arthritic pain in the foot?
A: This is a question for your physician. One has to always be aware of drug interactions, depending on your other medications. Better healing is connected to how you eat and if you are taking any nutritional supplements. If there is room for improvement in the health of your lifestyle, I suggest you get some guidance from a nutritionist /diabetes educator. You sound as if your conditions have progressed; it is important to do what you can to slow any further degeneration. A vitamin B-complex may be helpful, as well as fish oil capsules. Certainly taking a high quality multivitamin would be a basic start.
Q: Is my doctor correct to put me on Byetta for the principle reason of improving beta cell production and longevity? I am resistant to going on it because of the fact it has to be injected and I don't want the side effects of nausea, gastric upsets, etc.
A: As with any approved medication, it is only as effective as what we know of it to date, and every person does not respond to each medication the same way. It may be that your doctor's objective is to discharge you from one or more of your current medications, to Byetta. That is a decision the two of you must arrive at. It is always a good goal to strive towards medication dosage reduction. Perhaps this may occur with a proposed change. All medications do come with warnings.
Q: Do you agree that although lab standards say I am right in the middle of "normal range values" with a C-peptide at 2.5, half my B-cells are gone? What would be an optimal C-peptide score? My current A1C is 5.9.
A: A normal fasting level of C-peptide is 0.78-1.89 ng/mL. At 2.50 I don't know of the correlation to amount of beta cells remaining. If you stay at that level, your lifestyle is managed well, and your blood sugars stay fairly consistent to reflect your 5.9 A1C, I'd say you are on a quality life path, doing what you can with what is in your control. Insulin and C-peptide are jointly secreted, with C-peptide being used as a clinical monitor of your body's insulin production. Direct measurement of insulin is difficult because it is rapidly removed from the bloodstream. This may make it difficult to rely on C-peptide to accurately measure insulin levels at the time of testing. C-peptide is not an average measurement as is the A1C, (the A1C is the average level of blood sugar over 3 months). They are 2 separate values, and reviewed independently.
Q: Could I have gotten diabetes from taking prednisone? I am 39 and was diagnosed with diabetes about a month ago, all my symptoms (thirst, frequent urination, dry mouth etc.) started after having 2 steroid shots for a sore throat and then I was on prednisone for my back. My sugar was over 425. Now in the morning it is around 103-120. After meals it is 148-193. How long will it take to get normal?
A: I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but I can't. Yes, prednisone can be a trigger for diabetes, and with following a healthy lifestyle, diabetes can be resolved to more normal blood sugars. Certainly, you are reporting much better blood sugars, in the pre-diabetes range. I suggest you discuss this with your physician, and if needed, be referred to an endocrinologist for some more definitive answers regarding the endocrine system and what may be manifesting with you. If you have a family history of diabetes, the prednisone may very well have been your trigger, particularly if you weren't following a healthy lifestyle. Time will tell; good lifestyle management is a "must."
Q: What is the recommended ratio of long term insulin vs. short term to make up the total insulin requirements for the entire day?
A: Textbook starting point may be 2/3 long acting, 1/3 short or rapid acting. There are formulas to further refine the breakdown. Individualizing each person's therapy is always the key, based on accurate blood sugar records. Seeing your daily numbers lets you know how well your program is doing and where adjustments need to be made. Remember: no two people with diabetes follow identical management patterns.
Q: Why do my insulin injections hurt so much? No other diabetic that I have ever met has experienced this as I have.
A: Have you spoken with your physician about this? It could be that you have a degree of autonomic neuropathy, where you are becoming very "nerve sensitive". There are topical cayenne based creams that may help. Maintaining a high nutrient dense food intake is important; a nutritionist knowledgeable in vitamin/mineral supplements would be your best source.
Q: Is there a correlation between the Metformin and hair loss?
A: Hair loss is not typically listed as a possible side effect with Metformin, but can occur due to stress. Diabetes itself can trigger hair loss. Often a good vitamin/mineral therapy course will begin the correction; B vitamins especially are needed for a more balanced metabolism. You may want to see an endocrinologist about this if it persists. Meanwhile, start eating a truly nutrient-dense diet coupled with exercise. The fewer stresses you have, the more balanced your system will become, and perhaps you will achieve normal blood sugars without the aid of medications.
Q: Why is my 13 year old son suddenly getting up in the middle of the night with low blood sugar? He eats at exact times and makes sure I do the insulin or check it to make sure that it is accurate. He uses Humalog and Humulin N.
A: This is due to the peak times of his insulin. It sounds like he needs that dose lowered, which is a good thing. Have you discussed this with his physician? It may be that a switch to a long-lasting insulin like Lantus would be better for him; it certainly is worth exploring.
Q: Is my diabetes medication causing headaches? I'm not sure if it is my new medication (metformin) or high blood sugar, but I have been getting these horrible headaches that stop me from doing anything all day long. My blood sugar ranges from 130-160. Sometimes it is 100 but it seems like when it is closer to 100, my headaches are even worse.
A: It does sound like you are reacting to the medication; side effects the first 2 weeks are not uncommon. If this persists, you may need a medication change. You should also let your physician know. It will take some time and patience on your part to accept and understand your diabetes. Each person responds differently. Do not be timid to ask for guidance. I suggest you seek out a diabetes educator, classes, or some other support group to help you along. Paying close attention to your total lifestyle is key to good management, and possibly reducing or eliminating the need for medication.
Q: Does insulin cause weight gain? I have been on insulin for 4 months and injecting in my stomach and now my stomach has gotten bigger.
A: Insulin can contribute to weight gain which is one good reason for working on maintaining a healthier lifestyle as much as possible. Weight gain is sometimes also seen when one experiences low blood sugars from too much insulin, and eats more to compensate. With patience and adjustments, insulin requirements can be arrived at. I suggest you get assistance with your diet and carb counting if you haven't already.
Q: What kind of medications are used to treat pre-diabetes?
A: The best "medication" is be as active as you possibly can and follow a healthy, whole foods eating program. Medications are never the magic answer and should only beconsidered when truly needed. A strong focus on lifestyle changes - which usually means losing fat and becoming leaner - can serve to keep most folks under control.
Q: What do you know about a new "I-Port" that can be implanted into a person with diabetes to give insulin?
A: Check out the web site for more information. This just involves inserting the dome shaped port onto the injection site via a needle guiding a tiny cannula (tube) into your subcutaneous tissue, where it remains for 3 days. This is similar to the set ups for insulin pumps. For those doing multiple daily injections, this may reduce them by as much 90% in a month.
Q: My doctor wants to put me on Byetta, for the principle reason of improving beta cell production and longevity. Do you agree that although lab standards say I am right in the middle of "normal range values" with a C-peptide at 2.5, half my B-cells are gone? What would be an optimal C-peptide score? Would Byetta actually do what the doctor says: to help maintain B-cell integrity and functionality? I am resistant to going on it because of the fact it has to be injected and I don't want the side effects of nausea, gastric upsets, etc. My current A1C is 5.9.
A: A normal fasting level of C-peptide is 0.78-1.89 ng/mL. At 2.50 I don't know of the correlation to amount of beta cells remaining. If you stay at that level, your lifestyle is managed well, and your blood sugars stay fairly consistent to reflect your 5.9 A1C, I'd say you are on a quality life path, doing what you can with what is in your control.
Insulin and C-peptide are jointly secreted, with C-peptide being used as a clinical monitor of your body's insulin production. Direct measurement of insulin is difficult because it is rapidly removed from the bloodstream.

C-peptide is not an average measurement as is the A1C, (the A1C is the average level of blood sugar over 3 months). They are 2 separate values, and reviewed independently. As to your question regarding Byetta, I don't have an answer for that. As with any approved medication, it is only as effective as what we know of it to date, and every person does not respond to each medication the same way.

July in Oregon & Magnum Labeling
This past week we had the chance to experience some special times in the Willamette Valley, labeling our 2012 Pinot Noir Magnums and visiting friends throughout the area. The 2012 vintage in Oregon is being hailed as the 'vintage of the decade' with storybook conditions for bud break and harvest, with ripe and healthy fruit. I strongly recommend purchasing all of the 2012 that you can find; some to enjoy now and more to lay down, as it will get better with age.
On Monday evening we enjoyed some fantastic wine country hospitality courtesy of my dear friend Alex Sokol Blosser, Co-President/Winemaker of his family's winery, Sokol Blosser. We enjoyed a selection of local cheeses and fresh vegetables from the garden along with their first release of Evolution Sparkling wine, a delicious choice for a gorgeous Oregon Summer early evening. Sitting on the back patio, amidst the Pinot Noir vines and great company, it was a perfect night.
Tuesday morning, we ran by my favorite place to start the morning in McMinnville, Community Plate, operated and owned by Scott and Courtney Cunningham. This is truly a 'power couple' in the Valley, who both have hearts of gold and believe in where they live. I love having a chance to see these two friends, and of course enjoying my morning Hazelnut Milk Latte, a CP specialty!
Heading deeper into the country side, we made our way over to Elk Cove Vineyards, the family winery that happens to make our delicious wines. Catching up with various members of the ECV team, who are all fantastic people, we spent some quality time with Heather Perkin, Associate Winemaker, who was good to taste us through some of the 2012 Single Vineyard wines and the 2013's in tank, resting.
After getting some wine in our glasses, we began the task of hand-labeling our 2012 Magnums. Let me tell you, this is not an easy process; lining up the labels on the bottle, making sure there are no bubbles, keeping the label straight and making sure everything looks good before peeling off the backing. It took some time, but was well worth it seeing those 36 (only!) magnums lined up, ready to find new homes.
Coming back from our accomplished task, we stopped in Carlton and had a chance to enjoy lunch for the first time at The Horse Radish. I was EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, service and overall experience. I had a locally raised, shaved ham sandwich on gluten-free bread with fig jam which was delicious, paired with a bottle of 2012 Penner-Ash Rubeo, a blend of Pinot Noir & Syrah.
Ending the day of tasting, we stopped in to see some friends over at Stoller Family Estate before they closed, tasting a variety of their valley offerings, including back vintages. Funny enough, I think my highlight was actually their 2013 Rose of Pinot Noir, which was bright, lightly acidic, vibrant and full of flavor.
On Wednesday we ventured to see an old friend of mine, Margaret Barry, Director of Consumer Sales at Raptor Ridge. Let me say, if you have never been to Raptor Ridge, GO NOW! It is a gorgeous tasting room set atop the Chehalem Mountain range, with vines that cover the hillside and fantastic views over the valley. We had a chance to taste through their line up and have some great conversation over cheeses and meats on their tasting room patio, what a great way to spend a morning in the wine country! And, before we left, Margaret encouraged us to head out to the winery entrance and pick some Rainier Cherries off their trees, since they had so many. I've never picked cherries before, but being at a vineyard, grabbing this fresh stone fruit and tasting how ripe and delicious it was, was truly special.
Bouncing around the valley some more, we visited Lee Medina of Sokol Blosser Winery, popping into their beautiful tasting room for a hello and quick taste of their new wines, before grabbing a late lunch at the Red Hills Market in Dundee, the Willamette's baby-brother version of Oakville Grocer in Napa. This is a great place for a cup of Stumptown coffee, quick lunch stop or centrally located meeting point, as most of the valley runs through there during the day at some point.
We then headed over to Bergstrom Winery, to taste their latest releases and visit with Erik, their Tasting Room manager. I personally believe that Josh Bergstrom, winemaker and owner, is one of the most talented winemakers in the valley and I have always enjoyed his wines. The star of the show was completely unexpected, their 2012 Sigrid Chardonnay. I truly felt like I was drinking a White Burgundy; it had the polish, austerity, flavor, oak profile, fruit, depth and was just a joy to drink. Erik and his team's hospitality was fantastic in an idyllic setting, really special to enjoy.
Wrapping up the collection of days, we had our traditional dinner at Nick's Italian Café in Downtown McMinnville. Nick's has been feeding the valley's finest since 1977 and is THE winemaker's hangout to share stories, swap bottles of wine and just to catch up with friends. It has always been a casual spot to grab a bowl of pasta or pizza, but the menu has really been modernized with even more local produce and farm raised animals, courtesy of Nick's son in law, Erik. I love visiting this spot as it reminds me of the vast resources of the Willamette Valley and how you can truly embrace them.
It was another fantastic collection of experiences in the valley with an amazing group of people who are embracing the culture of hospitality and sharing their part of the world with visitors. I'm glad that in a small way, we are a part of that fabric and am thrilled to be able to show others what Oregon is all about.

New wines!
Hello friends! I hope that everyone is shaking off the Winter blues and that you can feel Spring coming right around the corner. Here at Labor Wines we are excited to tell you about our newest releases and yet another first!
This week our 2011 Pinot Blanc is going into the bottle! This is going to be the first white wine from Labor and we're only producing 112 cases. We wanted to keep it small for the first vintage and really focus upon the quality for each of you to enjoy. For those of you unfamiliar with Pinot Blanc, it is an Alsatian grape varietal that, in Oregon, is best known as a balanced wine with good acid, straight forward as a pairing for the table or by the glass. The vineyards we sourced from are all located in the Willamette Valley, coming from the Yamhill Carlton District and Chehalem Mountains AVA's. We are hoping to release the wine at the beginning of April and it is going to go quick, so make sure you reserve your case today!
Additionally, the 2nd vintage of our Pinot Noir, the 2010, is being labeled at the beginning of April and will be ready mid-April/beginning of May for you to enjoy. This wine comes from a smaller harvest with lower yields than 2009, showing more red fruit qualities with higher acids and lower sugars. While ready to drink right away, this is a vintage that will last for years to come and will welcome time in the cellar, if you'd like. Everyone I have spoken with in Oregon is excited for this vintage, since at the beginning the year started out extremely cool and then gave way to a gorgeous harvest. We are very happy to be able to share our 2010 with you – for those who haven't tasted Labor Wines just yet, get ready!
Don't forget, when you are enjoying a bottle of our wine, make sure to take a picture and share it with us on Facebook or via Twitter. As well, you can always email me directly, firstname.lastname@example.com or call on cell, 702.466.0987.

University students often encounter a great deal of stress during the course of their academic experience. While most students cope successfully with the challenges that these years bring, an increasing number of students find that the various pressures of life are unmanageable or unbearable. As faculty members and professional staff, you often encounter these distressed students in your offices or your classrooms. Many of these students have not sought any psychological intervention. Thus, your role is a crucial one in identifying and referring students who are in distress. The following guidelines might be useful.
The Crisis Response Team coordinates crisis coverage for campus emergencies when Counseling and Disability Services is not open. Call the University Department of Public Safety (651-2911) for contact with the Crisis Coordinator on Call.

An exercise in my textbook asked to prove the following inequality, valid for all $a,b,c,d \in R $
$$\left(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{b}{3} + \frac{c}{12} + \frac{d}{12}\right)^4 \leq \frac{a^4}{2} + \frac{b^4}{3} + \frac{c^4}{12} + \frac{d^4}{12}$$
There is a straightforward proof using Convex Functions:
- $f(x) = x^4$ is a convex function satisfying $f(\lambda x + (1-\lambda) y) \leq \lambda f(x) + (1 - \lambda)f(y)$ for all $x,y \in R$ and $\lambda \in [0,1]$
- Since $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12} = 1$, we can use the convexity property to obtain the inequality.
Since this question was on the chapter about Convex Functions, I was able to find the solution quickly. However, had I seen the problem in a "standalone" manner I would probably take longer to solve it, and at least spend a lot of muscle opening up the left hand term :)
My question is: What would be other ways to obtain this same result? What if someone had shown me this problem back when I was in eight grade?

Royals return among possibilities for Beltran
KANSAS CITY -- Carlos Beltran began his illustrious career with the Royals. What if, after a nine-year absence, he returned to Kansas City?
"I think it would be a great story if it happens for me to go back," Beltran said Wednesday from his native Puerto Rico.
KANSAS CITY -- Carlos Beltran began his illustrious career with the Royals. What if, after a nine-year absence, he returned to Kansas City?
"I think it would be a great story if it happens for me to go back," Beltran said Wednesday from his native Puerto Rico.
So, yes, he has considered the possibility, although his free agency has attracted the interest of "probably seven to 10 teams" that also include the Cardinals, Red Sox and the Yankees. On Monday, he turned down the Cardinals' qualifying offer of one year at $14.1 million.
"Right now, there are just a lot of teams that have interest in my services, but we haven't talked about the number of years or the money; everything is preliminary right now," Beltran said in his first interview on the subject.
Although Beltran was not specific, there is no doubt the switch-hitting slugger is looking for a multiyear contract.
"Right now, the way I feel, I can play 10 more years," Beltran said. "That might sound crazy, but physically I feel so good. I just want to be with a team that I can help accomplish what they're looking for, and that would be, hopefully, going to the postseason."
Ten more years? Well, he chuckled at that, but it is just how good he feels at 36. His knees, notably his right knee most recently repaired in 2010, allowed him to play 145 regular-season and 17 postseason games this year.
"I don't think you can play 145 games if you have a really messed-up knee," he said. "It's impossible."
Of those games, 137 were in right field, and that is where Beltran wants to stay, even if he goes to the American League with its designated hitter.
"Right now, I'm thinking about playing in the outfield; DH is something I'm not considering," he said. "Right now, the way I feel, I want to play in the outfield -- that's what I really enjoy; that's where I really have fun. Maybe later on, I might consider DHing here and there, but right now, that's not something I'm considering."
The current Royals' depth chart has David Lough and Justin Maxwell positioned as a possible platoon arrangement in right field. Although Beltran prospered there in two years with the Cardinals, he hears footsteps of younger outfielders at Busch Stadium.
"They know my interest in going back to St. Louis because I let them know during this past year," Beltran said, "but, at the same time, based on what I've heard it's just that my playing time would be limited because they want to give an opportunity to some other guys."
Naturally, the Red Sox made an impression on Beltran as they beat his Cardinals in this year's World Series, and the Yankees are, well, the Yankees. But Beltran, drafted by Kansas City in 1995 and with the Royals from 1998 into 2004, would obviously consider a return home.
"Based on how they played this year, of course that's a possibility -- they competed; they had a team that almost won the Wild Card," Beltran said, adding: "They can compete, and my decision will be based on teams that are competing. That's a team that I would consider, for sure. I don't want to go back to a team that's not competing."
In 2004, as Beltran approached free agency and a big contract, he was traded in midseason to the Astros and made his first big postseason splash that year. He hit eight home runs in those playoffs, and now, in a combined 51 postseason games for the Astros, Mets and Cardinals, he has 16 homers, a .333 average and a .445 on-base percentage.
This year marked his first World Series.
"It was a great experience," he said. "When I think about baseball, it's about getting to that point, the World Series. I really had a blast."
Beltran's influence has spread beyond the playing field. He has evolved into a quiet but forceful clubhouse presence.
"In the clubhouse I will always be helping guys out and trying to get the most out of guys, let them know that they can help the team win a championship," he said. "That's something that really I love to do, and I will also continue to get involved in the community."
Beltran's outreach has included the establishment in Puerto Rico of the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy, a high school that provides education along with baseball. This Saturday, Beltran and his wife, Jessica, are hosting a fashion show in Puerto Rico expected to raise $100,000 for scholarships to the school, drawing baseball celebs Yadier Molina, Robinson Cano and Eddie Murray among others.
Beltran's 16-year career includes the sort of credentials that make him a future candidate for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Now that I'm at this point in my career, there's been a lot of talk about me in the Hall of Fame and all of that," Beltran said. "But right now, I just want to be with a team where I can play as long as I can play and, hopefully, my numbers could get to where I could be considered for that."
Most of Beltran's first seven years in the big leagues were spent with the Royals, and, if he should return, there is the intriguing possibility of another "KC" cap to join George Brett's on a Hall of Fame plaque.

This is a reminder post for all the Windows 7 users still on the beta (build 7000) that was leaked in December 2008 and officially given out to the public in January 2009. Bi-hourly shutdowns of this build will begin on July 1, 2009. This means that the user will be told to install a released version of Windows and their PC will shut down automatically every two hours. On August 1, 2009 if you are still on the Windows 7 beta, your license will expire and the non-genuine experience will be triggered. Your wallpaper will be removed and "This copy of Windows is not genuine" will be displayed in the lower right corner above the taskbar.
If you want to continue testing Vista's successor, we recommend moving over to the Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) that was released to the public in May 2009. The RC will only be available to download until August 15, 2009. Those using the Windows 7 RC do not have to worry until March 1, 2010 and June 1, 2010, the dates for bi-hourly shutdowns and expiration, respectively. Considering Windows 7 will be generally available in October 2009, this will give users a lot of time to move over to the RTM code.

Then there is my psychiatric state. I can go from saying "I've never been so happy in my life!" to seconds later screaming and crying because I can't take Shakira singing "wakawaka" one more time. I also can't keep track of what I'm doing. The other day, I went to Copenhagen to use a specific statistics program and then forgot to save the work. I then actually got the program onto my computer and, when I turned the assignment for our statistics class, I realized I had forgotten half of it in the printer. This morning I truly left our apartment without shoes on. It was not for a barefoot run, and it was raining outside. I did make the right decision to go back and get my shoes.
My chances of advancing my career are minuscule right now. Rather than learning statistics in the class I'm in now, I sit and study the large map of Europe on the wall, trying to determine in which body of water I would most like to swim naked. I have the opportunity to start some really interesting studies at the moment, but half of my time is spent simply trying to remember what I need to do or doing something again, which I did wrong the first time. Seriously, people.
I read in my Danish pregnancy book that some women feel they get clumsy and absent-minded while pregnant. They then state "this can most likely be alone attributed to increased swelling in women's hands, which makes them drop things." .... right... Allow me to nominate this as the worst hypothesis of the year.
But thank heavens I still have running and exercise, my main sources of self-esteem. What would I do without them? I spend a lot of time talking about how healthy exercise in pregnancy is. But now, when I get asked (as I do frequently at this point) "Are you sure that's safe???", rather than gathering my resources and starting to explain how it actually is healthy, I get the urge to strangle the person and say "don't try to tell me it's unhealthy. I NEED it!" How do women who don't run or exercise SURVIVE pregnancy?
Last weekend was filled with moments of heaven on earth. On Saturday, SR and I went for a run - two times around two lakes on trails, as I call the route around Bagsværd and Lyngby lakes. Two months ago this took me 2:45 minutes, on Saturday, it took just three minutes longer! I have to say, at 24 weeks, exercise is not much harder than it was at the very beginning. On Sunday, I rode my road bike an hour to the pool, swam for 50 minutes and then ran 1.5 hours home through the woods. No part of it was much slower than at the beginning of pregnancy. I am simply writing this so I remember it. These are the moments where I shine.
I left my statistics class early today to run in the cold rain. On days like this, there are not that many people running, even around the lakes in central Copenhagen. And I had a moment to observe the swan I love, who makes her nest out of trash. She takes a lot of grass, but also plastic bags and bottles and strings and other odds and ends to make her enormous nest. I looked carefully today and, sure enough, she's got an egg in there.
I get a lot of comfort out of this swan. She is filled with this desire to make a nest and does it in such a crazy and yet adamant way. No one understands her and yet she is sure she is preparing correctly for the new little swan. Yet, does she even know the new little one is coming?
So pregnancy, a time of hyper vigilance, misdirection and distraction. How can these be turned into anything beneficial? Is there a reason, evolutionarily, we feel this way? Well, my theory is, we are simply building up love for the baby (my alternative hypothesis is simply brain swelling). A loving mother is simply so important for a baby's survival. But can all of this extra energy be used towards anything good here and now? One sure thing is that I suddenly have even more love to give The Lorax. It is not unheard of for me to simply watch him fall asleep and then burst into tears because I will never, ever, ever be able to communicate to him how much I love him. It is TOO much!!
Some women use this energy to paint rooms or buy baby clothing. This is all fine and well, but it is absolutely not me. I guess I choose to focus a lot on diet and exercise because, well, these are really two of the only things I know of that actually improve birth outcomes. So at least I feel I'm doing something. (Drs. Cythia and David pointed out that exercise in pregnancy decreases the risk of pre-ecclampsia: yes this is true! I was at a lecture a couple months ago with one of the world's leading pre-ecclampsia experts and she just could NOT say enough about the benefits of exercise while pregnant.) Plus, what a great way to get in shape (as I've mentioned before). If you've got all of this energy and unrest that you just can't seem to direct, well, exercise seems like a good option.
I actually found a picture of my swan on the internet, but I just don't think it does her justice, so she will have to remain as she is in your imagination.
Instead, I will leave you with a picture of SR trying desperately to escape his crazy wife.
And now that I have made fun of Shakira, I need to leave you with some music from three different countries.
The first is a video that made me cry both times I watched it (but remember, you're getting this from an emotional pregnant chick). It is from Holland and the girl's face reminds me so much of Diana (who lives in Holland) but I just don't think it's her. Diana, you're not a circus gymnast, are you?
Bart Constant - "Do Better" (with Dustin O'Halloran) from Kimmo Films on Vimeo.
Second, my absolute favorite running or biking song right now from Sweden. Short translation of the chorus "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm almost there!" (you decide for yourself whether or not the song is sexual...)
Third. The Spanish language in all of it's beauty, from Barcelona. This is one song which really benefits from being as long as it is. Horas Tristes by Mueran Humanos Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExXx3OuCIeE (totally scary picture on their album cover- beware!)

Read: Together on Retreat
By James Martin, S.J. (HarperOne, 2013)
If you're looking for an easily accessible way to spend some quiet time with God, here's a retreat that you can go on from the comfort of your home, in a park under a tree, or virtually anywhere. Jesuit Father James Martin shows us that retreats don't necessarily have to be as intense or formal as 30-days of St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises under the direction of a retreat leader. Martin's book, Together on Retreat: Meeting Jesus in Prayer, blends the modern medium of an e-reader with the ancient practices of reflecting on scripture and prayer. This is a much welcomed gift to all of us who lead busy lives.
Martin's "e-retreat" is focused on three gospel stories from the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Through the thought-provoking questions and personal examples in his reflections accompanying each passage, Martin describes the familiar stories through a new lens. "We've heard some of these stories so many times that it's easy to overlook their overriding strangeness," he says. "We've lost the ability to be surprised by them."
To take a unique approach to the stories and to put us out of our comfort zone, he introduces two new forms of prayer that some readers may not be familiar with. Martin engages our five senses with "Ignatius contemplation" to imagine that we are immersed in the beautiful imagery from the Bible. He then invites us, through Lectio Divina, to read, meditate, pray, and act with four questions that take a closer look at the actual words of the scripture passage.
True prayer, however, requires active involvement. To make sure readers are actually participating, Martin says, "You can't just read this e-retreat; you need to take time out to pray. Using this e-retreat without praying would be like attending a swimming class and never getting in the water." He urges retreaters to be attentive to their emotions, insights, memories, desires, and feelings that happen during the retreat and to slow down. Prayer is not about producing results, rather it is about reflecting on our time with God.
This e-retreat will help you to make the most of these few stolen minutes of quiet time and will give you a new perspective on the gospel stories, even if you've read them a thousand times.

Worrying that the cancer will come back
It's normal to worry about the cancer coming back and wonder about how you would react and cope if it did.
At first you may think that every ache, pain, runny nose or general unwell feeling means that the cancer has returned. You may worry so much that you find yourself at the doctor's office more than usual. Remember that not every symptom means that the cancer has returned.
As time goes by, most people find that their fears fade and they worry less. But sometimes life events or reminders of past experiences can make you very anxious again. These reminders include:
- follow-up visits to your doctor
- having symptoms similar to the ones that led to your diagnosis
- dates such as the date of diagnosis or surgery
- hearing of someone's new cancer diagnosis
- the death of someone who had cancer
- walking or driving past the hospital where you had your treatment
If you find that you're worried and anxious all the time, or if your anxiety is interfering with your daily life, you may want to talk to a counsellor. It is important to get worries under control so you can focus on living, take care of your health and make the most of each day.
While you can't control whether or not your cancer comes back, there are some things that you can do to help you cope.
- Talk to your doctor about regular follow-up care. Your doctor can also give you information about the chances of cancer recurring and the symptoms to watch for.
- Be informed. Understanding what you can do for your health now and finding out about the services available to you can give you a greater sense of control.
- Accept and talk about your worries. You will probably find, as do other survivors, that it's easier to let the feelings go once you've expressed them. You can talk to friends or family, other cancer survivors or a counsellor.
- Try to use your energy to focus on wellness and what you can do now to stay as healthy as possible. You might focus on eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep. All these activities can help you feel better physically and emotionally.
How can you stop cancer before it starts?
Discover how 16 factors affect your cancer risk and how you can take action with our interactive tool – It's My Life! Presented in partnership with Desjardins.
