You or a loved one might already be living with diabetes, just like 16 million Americans. Or maybe there was a recent diagnosis of diabetes. Either way, it's important that you know the facts about this lifelong and serious-but manageable-medical condition.
Let's start with what causes diabetes. To do that, we'll begin with a quick lesson on one of our internal organs: the pancreas.
One of the purposes of the pancreas is to manufacture a hormone called insulin, and then secrete it into your bloodstream. To understand the pancreas we must understand how a normal pancreas functions without diabetes. When we eat, our food (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) is broken down in the intestine and absorbed in the bloodstream as glucose. Our bodies use glucose for energy. As the level of glucose rises in the blood stream, the pancreas receives a signal to release insulin. Insulin works a little bit like a key opening a gate. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, allows glucose to enter the cells, and therefore lowers the blood glucose level. When there is not enough insulin, or if our cells do not respond as well to insulin, the gate does not open and insulin cannot enter cells to provide energy.
Insulin redirects the glucose from the bloodstream and into some of your body's cells. First, the insulin acts like a key opening the "lock" on some of the cells. After creating an opening in the cell wall, the insulin drives the glucose in. This is a critically important task because your body cells need the glucose in order to give you energy.
Learn more about the important role glucose and insulin play in diabetes below!
So that's what happens when your pancreas is working as it should. But when it's not...
Just like an engine part in your car, the pancreas does not always act normally. When it fails, it can no longer keep up with the amount of insulin production that your body needs.
Or, in some cases, a person's body simply becomes resistant to insulin, so the insulin can no longer do the job as well. This condition is known as "insulin resistance." When a person becomes insulin resistant, the pancreas reacts by producing more and more insulin to try to keep up. Over time, the pancreas wears out and can no longer function as it should.
So the glucose stays in your bloodstream instead of in the rightbody cells, where it belongs. Now you've got two problems:
Unlike most diseases, diabetes can affect patients in different ways, depending on where the excess glucose goes. If left untreated, complications of the disease can include the following:
As a result of the pancreas not producing enough insulin - or, in some cases, not producing any insulin at all - people get diabetes. More than 16 million Americans have this serious disease. It takes several forms.
Those with Type 1 diabetes have a pancreas that isn't producing any insulin. They will have to receive insulin for the rest of their lives.
Those with Type 2 diabetes have a pancreas that produces some insulin, but not nearly enough to meet their needs. Type 2 is by far the most common form of diabetes. Between 90% and 95% of the people who have diabetes have Type 2.
Another common form of the disease is gestational diabetes, a condition that occurs during pregnancy. Women who deliver babies over nine pounds in weight are at the most risk of developing this pregnancy-related type of diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually (90% of the time) disappears after delivery, but patients with gestational diabetes have a 3-4 times greater risk of Type 2 diabetes later in life.
Type 1 diabetes can be developed at any age, most commonly in childhood or adolescence. It's an inherited trait, with several environmental factors contributing, and there's nothing you can do to lower your risk of getting Type 1 diabetes. Symptoms usually come on suddenly, and may include thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and fatigue.
With Type 2 diabetes, there are several risk factors involved, including heredity, age, race, lifestyle and medical conditions. You have little or no control over some of these risk factors, but other factors can be controlled - by decisions you make. But other factors can be controlled - by decisions you make.
If you fall into one or more of the following high-risk categories and haven't yet contracted diabetes, you should be especially concerned about reducing the risks as much as possible. And if you do already have Type 2 diabetes, you can control the course of your disease and how well you live with it by working to lower the risk factors.
Age - If you're over 45, you're at a heightened risk. And up to 20 percent of Americans over age 65 have diabetes.
Heredity - If a parent had diabetes, you're likelier to also develop the disease.
Race - For reasons we don't yet fully understand, various minority groups in the United States are likelier than white Americans to develop diabetes. These groups include African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and native Americans.
The best news about diabetes is that even those who are at an increased risk because of their age, race or heredity can reduce the risk in other ways. The biggest risk is being overweight, and the second biggest risk is not exercising (being sedentary). To lower the risk of diabetes, people can exercise, control their weight and diet, and see their doctors regularly for education and medication. Here are the risk factors you can control.
Obesity - If you're overweight, you are at a higher risk for diabetes. If you lose the weight through proper diet and exercise, you cut the risk.
High blood pressure - By a combination of medication, exercise and good eating habits, this risk can also be controlled.
High cholesterol - Again, your doctor can show you how to lower your levels of total cholesterol and decrease your risk of developing diabetes.
Studies have shown that individuals who have what's called a "predisposition" or an increased likelihood of getting diabetes due to heredity can dramatically lower the risk by making some sensible lifestyle changes:
People who are overweight are at greater risk of becoming insulin resistant and eventually contracting diabetes. That's because excess weight makes the cells more resistant to glucose.
But recent studies have shown that nutrition and exercise programs can decrease the development of diabetes in high-risk groups by as much as 71 percent.
When you eat well, lose weight and begin a regular exercise program, there are bonus benefits. In addition to cutting the risk of developing diabetes, these good lifestyle choices also protect you against a whole host of other diseases and medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and various cancers. And exercise increases your energy and helps make you feel great!
Many people have diabetes for years before it's ever diagnosed. You should see a doctor if you have one or more of the following symptoms:
Keep in mind that simply having one or more of these symptoms doesn't automatically mean you have diabetes. That's why it's important to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
If your physician suspects the possibility that you have diabetes, one of three or more tests will be administered. If you get a positive reading on any of these tests, you'll be tested again on another day, just to be sure. Here are the three main tests:
You can do everything you're supposed to do to cut the risk, and still get diabetes. While it's a serious condition and one that must be treated properly, it's a disease that can be controlled. In fact, millions of Americans lead active lives without their medical conditions controlling them. Some have even been able to successfully fight back.
If you have diabetes, it can sometimes be contained purely through a combination of diet and exercise.
If blood sugar levels are still too high even with the diet and exercise regimen (you'll learn how to monitor your blood sugar levels), your doctor will probably prescribe some kind of pills or insulin or a combination of the two.
There are several oral medications available, all with the goal of keeping blood glucose levels within the normal range which are effective in people with type 2 diabetes. Depending on how the disease is affecting you, your doctor might get you started on any combination of the following pills:
Some patients with Type 2 diabetes and all patients with Type 1 must take insulin, which has to be injected. If it's necessary in your treatment, your doctor will prescribe insulin in one of the following ways based on your medical condition and needs:
Some Type 2 diabetics feel that they've "failed" by having to go on insulin, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Every case is different, and every patient responds in different ways to treatment. The natural course of diabetes in the vast majority of patients with diabetes leads to pancreas "burn-out," and therefore insulin needs to be taken. How quickly pancreas "burn-out" happens is related to a variety of factors, including weight, diet, and genetics.
Keep in mind how millions of Americans have managed to control their diabetes and live perfectly functional lives. By working with your team of healthcare professionals and never being afraid to ask questions or discuss treatment options, you can make the most of the situation. So don't just survive diabetes - go on and live your life in a positive manner.

Foles will start at QB for remainder of Eagles' season
Philadelphia, PA – During his customary day-after press conference on Monday, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid proclaimed rookie quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for the remainder of the 2012 season.
Foles finished Sunday night's 38-33 loss in Dallas 22-of-34 for 251 yards and one touchdown.
The Arizona product and third-round pick in this year's draft has acquitted himself well in four games (three starts) under center despite his club's free fall, going 81-of-133 for 793 yards, two TDs and three interceptions.
"This was my decision," Reid said when asked if there was any external pressure driving his choice. "If there's one great thing about the Eagles organization ... it's that they've allowed me to make the decisions."
Philadelphia, which has dropped eight straight games following a 3-1 start, has four games left: at Tampa on Dec. 9, home against Cincinnati four days later, home vs. Washington on Dec. 23 and the season-finale on the road against the Giants one week later.
Original starter Michael Vick is still dealing with the after-effects of a concussion suffered on Nov. 11 against Dallas.

Dan Tuohy's Granite Status: Bob Smith gets A+ from NH Firearms Coalition
August 27. 2014 8:42PM
The New Hampshire Firearms Coalition issued its "Primary Grades" report Saturday and U.S. Senate Republican hopeful Bob Smith earned an A+, which is a mark given to what the group calls a "Second Amendment Leader."
Republican hopefuls Scott Brown received an "F" and Jim Rubens received an "RS," which "indicates a deliberate refusal to accept or respond" to the survey, according to the coalition.
Rubens received an A rating recently from Gun Owners of New Hampshire. Smith was endorsed last week by the Gun Owners of America. Both men were critical of Brown on gun rights during a WGIR-AM radio debate last week. Brown, a gun owner and retired colonel from the Army National Guard, said he had averaged an A- rating from the NRA, which Rubens and Smith challenged.
The New Hampshire Firearms Coalition issued ratings for other candidates with primaries. The ratings included:
- 1st Congressional District, GOP: Brendan Kelly (A, based solely on a survey), Everett Jabour (C), Frank Guinta (C-), and Dan Innis (RS).
- 2nd Congressional District, GOP: Marilinda Garcia (A), Jim Lawrence (A), Gary Lambert (D-), and Mike Little (RS)
- Governor's race, Democrats: Ian Freeman (A, based on a survey), Gov. Maggie Hassan (F), and Clecia Terrio (RS)
- Governor's race, Republicans: Andrew Hemingway (A), Jonathan Smolin (A, based on a survey), Walt Havenstein (C+), and Daniel Greene (RS)

(A Saturday version of Granite Status is below:)
IT WAS DESIGNED in a "tasteful way," state Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, says about one of his recent campaign fliers. The mailer pictures two babies and then a zinger: "These two babies have lived longer in Hooksett than my opponent," Boutin says.
In an interview, Boutin says he aimed to "let the voters know that my opponent just moved from Alton to Hooksett several weeks ago."
The opponent in question, Jane Cormier, is challenging him in the GOP primary for Senate District 16. The winner faces Democrat Maureen Raiche Manning of Manchester in the general election. District 16 represents Bow, Candia, Dunbarton, Hooksett and Wards 1, 2 and 12 in Manchester.
Boutin says he's received positive response to his baby mailer.
Cormier, a former one-term state representative from Alton, moved to Hooksett in late May. She says she prefers to talk about the issues. "My voting record as a small government conservative will remain the same," she says. This music/voice teacher (her husband is a public school teacher) says the Legislature and governor raising the state's gas tax by 4.2 cents a gallon inspired her to run for Senate. Who happens to be one of the sponsors of that transportation funding legislation, Senate Bill 367? David Boutin, of course.
Though she may want to focus on Boutin's support for the gas tax rate increase, Cormier felt compelled to respond to the baby mailer with a web video starring those very same babies. "In an attempt to portray me as an outsider, my opponent has alleged to have claimed that tiny babies like these have lived in District 16 longer than I have," she says in the video. "What my opponent doesn't say is that precious babies like these inherited $9,000 of New Hampshire's state debt the moment they were born."
District 16 is one of 10 GOP primaries for state Senate.
The race for state Senate District 15 features the only state primary contest among Democrats seeking a seat in the 24-member chamber, and the political fliers are flying there, too. Kass Ardinger and Dan Feltes are running to succeed Sen. Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord. The Concord Monitor reported Saturday that Feltes mailed out fliers accusing Ardinger of not supporting full-day kindergarten in Concord, which she says is just wrong.
The state primary is Sept. 9.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is considering a run for president in 2016, will be the keynote speaker at the New Hampshire AFL-CIO's annual Labor Day Breakfast on Monday, Sept. 1. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and U.S. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster will join Labor leaders and will be among the speakers at Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Manchester.
ISIS threat response: Senate Republican hopeful Scott Brown released a web video Aug. 29 on the ISIS threat, and he also criticized President Obama for an "incoherent" foreign policy in response to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Citing reports that up to 300 Americans are fighting with ISIS, Brown urged Congress to pass legislation that would strip these "homegrown terrorists" of their American citizenship. Brown introduced legislation in 2010 that proposed doing just that, and a similar bill in 2011, according to his campaign.
Jim Rubens, another hopeful running for the GOP nomination and right to face Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in the general election, called Brown's proposal a "flagrant attack on constitutional liberty." Said Rubens: "This is not a new proposal, in fact it was introduced in 2010 and 2012 in Congress. Both times, it was very quickly determined that they so egregiously violated the Constitution, they never even made it to a vote."
Freedom Concert: Senate Republican hopeful Bob Smith's campaign is bracing for a crowd at tonight's "Freedom Concert" at the Rochester Fairgrounds in the lovely Lilac City. The "Next of Kin" band plays at 4:15 p.m., followed by The Natalie Turgeon Band, and then country superstars Confederate Railroad. There's fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
"SAILS TO ATOMS." The Metal Trades Council at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard endorsed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Friday in Portsmouth. The union, which backed Shaheen in 2008, cited her advocacy for the shipyard projects and her opposition to base closure plans. It represents 2,400 shipyard workers. "I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Metal Trades Council, which represents so many of New Hampshire's hard-working men and women and their families," Shaheen said in a statement. "As the chair of the Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, I have worked across the aisle to oppose efforts to start a new round of Base Realignment and Closures. The shipyard plays a critical role in our national defense and in the local economy."

(The Granite Status column published Aug. 28 is below:)
A congressional showdown you may not have heard of: Ex-Im Bank.
U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), noting a congressional fight is looming over the Export-Import Bank, calls its reauthorization critical for businesses to tap international markets.
"I know one of the big issues for General Electric and the company is the reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank, which provides support for businesses in the United States and in New Hampshire who want to do business abroad," Shaheen said Wednesday after touring GE Aviation in Hooksett.
Before fielding questions in a town hall-style meeting there, Shaheen cited one of her favorite statistics: that 95 percent of markets are outside the U.S., but only 1 percent of small and medium-sized businesses do business outside the country. The Export-Import Bank is the official export credit agency for the U.S. Its mission is to help finance the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets. Ex-Im Bank authorization runs out at the end of September.
Export-Import Bank Chairman Fred P Hochberg, in a visit to New Hampshire earlier this summer, said the bank currently supported 34 companies in the state, and those companies reported $359 million in exports related to that financing. It's at "no cost to taxpayers," Hochberg told the Union Leader.
Conservatives, however, have likened it to "crony capitalism" and "corporate welfare." The Club for Growth just criticized U.S. Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for support of the Export-Import Bank.
The Export-Import Bank was last reauthorized in 2012. Here a Senate roll call on it, which shows then Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), voting yea.

STELLA Scamman is none pleased with her cameo in Republican Frank Guinta's first ad of the election cycle. The former state representative supported Guinta for Congress in the past, but she and her husband, former Speaker of the House Douglas Scamman, endorsed Dan Innis in the 1st District back in April. She is calling on the Guinta campaign to remove the ad - or remove her from the video footage.
"Frank Guinta knows very well that I am a strong 100 percent supporter of Dan Innis for Congress. Using this footage of me from an old campaign ad is inappropriate," Scamman said in a statement. "Dan Innis is a solutions based Republican with a solid business and education background who will use his leadership skills to grow our economy and tackle the challenges we face in Washington. Dan is a fresh voice that our Republican Party needs to win the election in November. That is why I am asking Frank to remove me from his advertisement."
Scamman is featured for a few seconds in the ad and seen chatting with Guinta. Here's a question: If the Innis campaign had not flagged it, would anyone have even noticed? Anyone driving by the Scamman's "Bittersweet Farm" in Stratham cannot miss the Innis campaign signs - right next to the Scott Brown for Senate signs, among others. Stella Scamman is also one of the leaders of Seacoast Republican Women, which will hold its annual Chilifest on Sept. 6, with keynote speaker Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Guinta campaign manager Jay Ruais said it would be changed. "Frank respects his friend Stella Scamman," Ruais said. "We are in the process of making the change to the ad."

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN how much of an issue illegal immigration will be in the midterm elections, but the candidates are sure hearing it on the campaign trail.
Illegal immigration was raised during a question-and-answer session when U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) visited GE Aviation in Hooksett this week. An employee asked about ads attacking her over illegal immigration. Shaheen at first quipped:
"I probably should've supported more security at New Hampshire's southern border, don't you think."
The audience let out a few laughs and some "ooohs" at the joke aimed at former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown now running for the GOP nomination for Senate in New Hampshire.
Then Shaheen, acknowledging the immigration system is broken, said she did vote for stronger border security.
Will the issue drive voter turnout? It could help motivate the GOP base, said Andrew Smith, executive director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. He said the economy and jobs continue to top voter concerns. An Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters earlier this month found 70 percent of Americans believe undocumented immigrants threaten U.S. beliefs and culture.
During the meeting at GE, Shaheen fielded two immigration-related questions. So, it is on the minds of local voters.
Brown continued this week to call Shaheen soft on the issue, and criticized her for not holding a traditional town hall-style meeting with constituents.
Asked about it after fielding questions from about 100 employees at GE, Shaheen said she is reaching people across the state.
"I've done town hall meetings, I've done tele-town hall meetings, which I like because you can reach more people that way," she said. "I expect I'll continue to do them. This is a good example of that good back-and-forth exchange I do whenever I'm out on the trail. I was at the (Concord) Rotary yesterday and had the same kind of Q and A. You can call them whatever you want. They're an opportunity to engage with voters about the issues that affect New Hampshire and I will continue to do that."

IN THE OLD FRIENDS DEPARTMENT: Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, a possible presidential hopeful in 2016, spoke at the "Politics & Eggs" event held by the New England Council and New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
It's a must stop for those with presidential aspirations. The New England Council also has some familiarity with Portman's work. The regional business council urged passage last year of the Shaheen-Portman bill as a way to lower energy costs and create jobs.
The bipartisan bill, the "Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act," died in the Senate this past spring after a partisan fight over efforts to add a Keystone XL pipeline amendment — which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to allow.
There was then that curious report by the Huffington Post, citing an anonymous source, that Scott Brown urged Republican leaders to kill the Shaheen-Portman bill, so as not to give Shaheen an election-year legislative victory.
Brown denied it back in May. In New Hampshire this week, Portman said he did not hear from Brown on his bill, and that he was in the state to help his old friend Brown return to the Senate as an "independent voice" for New Hampshire.

ENDORSEMENT: The U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce has endorsed U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter's re-election bid in the 1st District. The group cited the Democrat's co-sponsorship of the Paycheck Fairness Act, the Fair Minimum Wage Act and the FAMILY Act.
"I worked in my mother's small business and I understand the challenges small business owners and their families face, so I've introduced and supported legislation that helps them launch and grow. I have also advocated for them for six years on the Make it in America Working Group, so I am grateful for this recognition and endorsement by the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce," Shea-Porter said in announcing the endorsement.

Hi all,
My second born is 2 weeks old tomorrow. We are majorly limping along in the breastfeeding dept and I'm turning to you for help. I just got over cracked/scabbed nipples. Her latch seems to be better and less painful but, it is still shallow and she will either a.) not stay awake for feedings or b.) scream hysterically and not latch when she IS awake and hungry. She was 8 lbs 15 oz at birth. Lost 14 whole ounces in 2 days but has regained 9 oz of that. I'm encouraged by that but, unfortunately, I have given her 2-4 oz of formula via bottle for about a week at night or in the afternoon. I have a history of low supply and I guess I'm afraid that she will lose a lot of weight or not gain appropriately or that when she cries, she's starving.
I guess I'm just wondering if there is help for me. Have I ruined everything by giving her formula to quieten her and get some rest? I have been to see a LC and she seems to think we will be ok but, I have very little support at home. I have a 23 month old demanding all my attention and a husband who does not understand that I need to have this girl on my boob almost at all times. It's very discouraging and I feel like giving up.
Like I said, I have a history of low supply (I think my first girl had a slight tongue tie even though her ped was adamant that she didn't) We have an appt with an ENT to check out a possible posterior tongue tie on Tues.
I've also been on domperidone for 2 days and have seen no change. LO cries all the time unless she's asleep. I miss feedings sometimes so that she will sleep and I can get some peace.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And sorry if this is super rambly. I'm out of it. Kind of depressed and obviously sleep deprived. I just want to enjoy my newborn but, that's hard to do when overcome with breastfeeding problems.
Thank you!

Volkswagen Jetta Engine Questions
If you are seeing ALL those codes (P0351, P0352,P0353,P0354 )... and have new plugs and wires... all that is left is the coilpack itself. (or bad ground-connection to the coilpack) This is not an inexpensive part. I would personally consider a good used one from scrapyard if I could find one.
BTW: I just installed a new (green) ECT (Engine Coolant Temparature) sensor in my wifes Jetta yesterday. Then I hooked up my laptop computer and reset all the codes. So far, the light on the dashboard has NOT come back on and the temparture guage has been working as expected.0
suz18 Posts: 1I have a 2011 2.0 VW Jetta, 16400 miles. Just had the axles replaced because the cv boots had slight tears. From the very first driver after they were replaced, I have loud noise when it reaches 38 RMP. I can not take it to 75-80 because the noise gets louder and you can feel it. My mechanic is confused. He then replaced the Rear Tranny mount (dog bone) because he noticed it did have more play in it then should have thinking this was the problem. He is now playing the guessing game. He even thought maybe the wheel bearing but it doesn't make the noise constantly. I do not have any $$$ to take it to the dealership. Help!!!0
The rubbers on the CV joints were torn at 16K miles.... OWCHIE... The only time I have EVER had such a problem is when porcupines were nibbling on them to get at the road-salt from the winter. Most vehicles will go well over 100,000 miles before CV joints need any attention.
Some of the cheap rebuilt "aftermarket" parts will not perform nor last nearly as long as real VW components.
If you are CERTAIN that the new axles were properly installed and are original GERMAN components... then I am sorry to tell you that what you describe may be INSIDE the transmission.0
calivdub: If that noise was not there before the CV replacement, it sure sounds like the repair was not done correctly, or the replacements were defective. Has your tech gone back to make sure all bolts and fittings were properly tightened? Also, some vdubs have different axle lengths for each side, but I wouldn't think they could be mixed up. vwdawg0
ndmike88 Posts: 155Wouldn't your Jetta be under warranty? Its a 2011 with 16,000 miles. All repairs should be covered. Am I missing something here?0
dnjetta Posts: 1I have the exact same problem as you. I just had my axle replaced because of torn CV boots and now there is a very loud loise at 3800 RPM. I am afraid to drive it on the freeway because it is so loud. Did they finally figure out what was wrong with it?0
bravura Posts: 1Hi there
can anyone assist me on how to determine whether the 99 jetta engine is aba or aeg
The engine code and engine number (serial number) are die-stamped on the front of the cylinder block above the crankcase breather.
In addition, an adhesive label on the drive belt cover lists the engine code and engine number.
The engine code is also listed on the vehicle identification sticker in the luggage compartment.0
Car cut out. Spark and Compression are fine. Plugs are dry, so my diagnosis is lack of fuel...either plugged filter (or bad fuel pump) Car has about 140k miles on it and it looks to be an older filter (yes I know, daughters car for a long time that we bought foir other daughter). She usually had work done somewhere.
Anyway, how does one release the fuel line connections? There are two very small holes on the connector - is there a special tool that goes in there or does it use the knid that goes in via the end of the line and spreads out the clip?
In either case, is it a sized tool only for the German cars, or a standardized size.
I've poked, probed and chanted...have yet to call a voodoo doctor or Mr. Spock to put the Vulcan pinch on it.
Thanks in advance.0
Hey All: 2006 Golf w/ 86k miles. Typical annoying VW electrical "ghosts". Locks are supposed to self-lock after about one minute if no doors are opened (safety feature which re-locks the doors if unlocked due to remote "unlock" button being inadvertantly depressed). So...prob is, I assume, that the sensor on the driver door latch has failed, so the self-lock mechanism doesn't know the driver door has been opened, and the automatic locking activates anyway. Very annoying, and also presents the issue of the keys being locked in the car if you leave them inside (as my son discovered a few months back). All this to say...is it possible to disable the self-lock feature? I have access to a VAG-COM. I would just as soon NOT spend $200 for a new latch plus several hours of labor tearing the door apart. Or am I on the wrong track here...some other solution that might be offered? Help! Thanks...vwdawg.0
You should be able to pop the cover off the fuel pump---then briefly crank the starter motor or have someone do that (work safely!). You should hear the fuel pump start up audibly. If it doesn't, then I'd check the fuse circuit for the fuel pump (I think it is #G6) and if that's okay, then the fuel pump relay is suspect.
You can also check for fuel in the fuel rail by depressing the little Schrader valve under the hood (wear safety glasses to protect your eyes).0
I can pretty-much GUARANTEE that your no-start problem is not caused by fuel-filter.
You should be able to hear the fuel-pump run for about 3 seconds if you turn the key to "ON" without cranking the engine. (Some older VWs even pre-pressurized the fuel-system when you opened the drivers door... I know my daughters Gulf did that)
Also check fuel-pump fuse and relay.0
Actually figured out how to undo the clips-
Careful scrutiny and voodoo (with chanting) revealed that the outermost portion of the clip, directly across from the two pin holes was indeed a small button (raised about 1 mm high) which relased the grip on the fitting. An interior panel tool worked well to remove the line.
After a voltage test on the wiring on the connector to the fuel pump (the two outermost wires) revealed that the voltage was getting to the connector.
The pump did not hum, so I have taken it out, and then connected it directly to the battery, with the wires attached to the pump itself.
Chanting and more voodoo did not bring it back to life.
Thus, a new fuel pum, with gauge float and rheostat has been ordered and should arrive in a day or so.
I will certainly post if this was indeed the culprit when it it returned to life, as I hate diagnostic threads without conclusions and eventual success.
OK. It was indeed the fuel pump. However, for 2004, there are appapently 2 diffent size flanges on teh top of the fuel pimp where it goes into the tank. One measures about 5 inches across in diameter, the other is 5.5 in diameter.
Of course, I ended up getting the wrong size off of an online order, so I disconnected the float and wiring from the new unit as well as the fuel lines and connected them to the old top flange.
Cost of new pump was $80 on line, much better than via a parts house around here where pirices ranged from $218 - $308.
Reinstalled it and away we went (of course I tested it for hum prior to putting it in the tank - older unit had no hum at all, see earlier post).
Car has much better acceleration now than it has had for some time, leading me to believe that the fuel flow volume was down or just that the pressure was not coming from the pump as it should have been.
For those that wish to test the unit in the car also - the outermost wires on the connection plug are the ones that power the fuel pump. You can check for current with the key on at that point (Seeing if the relay is still supplying power.)
I would also guess that one could bypass the relay in order to run the pump in an emergency situation if the relay was bad.
I put my findings out here so hopefully they will aid someone else in the future.0
heyjack1 Posts: 1My wife washec the car the other day and sprayed off the engine and now is running rough and now the check engine light comes on and flashes for a couple seconds and then stays on and just keeps repeating. Someone please tell me what is wrong. We love this car to death and dont want to get rid of it.0
You should be able to go to a Kragen, O'Rielly or Autozone and they can pull the code. My guess is that it is an igniter problem. (P03xx) with xx being the cylinder where the igniter is shorted out. The igniter swap is relatively easy just don't force the connector. The part is much cheaper aftermarket than it is at Volkswagen if that is indeed the problem. Let me know if that does the trick!0
Someone please tell me if air coming out of the oil tank is normal? Guy at Valvoline said it's normal.0
I have been fixing vehicles for many years.... but I am not sure what you mean by "Oil Tank".... Please be specific.0
So i have air coming outta my oil valve. When the oil cap is loose it bounces around. I went to Valvoline and they told me it's normal for jetta to do that. It seems kind of odd to me. I work to late in the day to make it to a vw machanic so i have no idea if this is a problem.0
Oh you mean you have pressure in the crankcase? Yeah, that could be a defective PCV valve or "oil separator" (fancy name for it).0
I was told that my car doesn't have a pcv valve? This is my first VW so I'm not 100% with it yet0
Ment the oil valve. Crank case0
maybe they call it an oil separator.0
Is there a way to test to see if the oil separator is junk?0
Let's back up. Tell us the year, model and engine you have, and what your symptoms are.0
I have a 99 aeg 2.0 vw jetta. I just had a full tune up. When i bought the car it had been sitting for 6 months. Right now my oil light stays blinking. I have a lot of air coming out of the top of the oil valve where the cap is. Loosing the cap and it dances sort of speak. It alsogoes thru oil like crazy. I had an oil change 3 week later it was bone dry. It has 119k on the motor.0
THIS MIGHT BE what you need.
Your VW engine does *not* have a "PCV valve" like many American-Named vehicles. Instead, VW uses a simple oil-separator which attempts to keep the oil in the crankcase while allowing air to escape into the intake manifold
When you loosen the oil-fill cap, you are simply allowing some of the excess pressure to escape so the oil-separator does not have to work so hard.
Unfortunately, there may not be any way you can replace external parts to fix the problem you describe.
Your description sure sounds as if you have a SERIOUS mechanical problem with your engine. There is sooooo much blowby past the piston-rings, the oil-separator cannot keep up with the amount of airflow past it.
The blinking oil-lite is another indicator that the engine is in SERIOUS trouble. This means that the oil-pump cannot build up enough pressure to protect the engine.0

SAN DIEGO — In the ocean off Coronado, a Navy team has discovered a relic worthy of display in a military museum: a torpedo of the kind deployed in the late 19th century, considered a technological marvel in its day.
But don't look for the primary discoverers to get a promotion or an invitation to meet the admirals at the Pentagon — although they might get an extra fish for dinner or maybe a pat on the snout.
The so-called Howell torpedo was discovered by bottlenose dolphins being trained by the Navy to find undersea objects, including mines, that not even billion-dollar technology can detect.
"Dolphins naturally possess the most sophisticated sonar known to man," Braden Duryee, an official at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific said after the surprising discovery.

It's been a long year.
And as fans, we'd like some recognition.
Sure, we don't put in any of the training, workouts, long flights, missed time with loved ones or risk of horrible injury that the athletes do. But we ARE the ones who've had our emotions worn down to a nub, without millions of dollars to console ourselves.
The point is, even a minor acknowledgement of what we do--the clapping, the screaming, the StubHub scouring, the quickly minimizing of live streamed games when a supervisor pops into the cubicle--goes a long way.
Andy Reid's 14-year tenure with the Eagles came to an end on Monday, and Reid has yet to address the city of Philadelphia or, more importantly, its fans.
So assuming he's got his hands full being chased by helicopters and will eventually pen an eloquent exit speech, here are the class acts Reid will be following:
Shane Victorino
Casualty of a loss-induced fire sale, Shane bought the traditional full page ad in the paper, giving Philly a final, tear-stained "Mahalo."
The mainstay firecracker of a centerfielder was the first real foundation to buckle as the Phillies moved further and further from 2008. But in one last moment before he headed off to L.A., he helped us remember why we were so sad he was gone.
Hunter Pence
Hunter Pence, however, scarpered out of town quietly, using an awkwardly scheduled bobblehead night to say good bye weeks later. The note on the back of the box was nice, but it was then that we remembered--had he really only been here for one year? Maybe we are a little melodramatic.
Andre Iguodala
Iggy wrote a heartfelt letter to the fans on his personal web site. Days later, he characterized Philly sports fans as lunatics who consider a slam dunk appropriate penance for a human murder. But hey, whatever, he said the nice thing first.
Plus, we got Andrew Bynum! How can we lose!
Brian Dawkins
Of course, one of the most beloved Eagles of all time got to retire as one, despite that little experiment as a Bronco that we can just pretend didn't happen. In an emotional farewell at the NovaCare Center, B-Dawk stood with old hats like Jeffrey Lurie, former teammates like Donovan McNabb, and awe-struck fans who in the tenure of his career became Eagles themselves like Vinny Curry.
An appropriately choked-up moment for the collective who was saddest to see him go.
Eric Lindros
The first time the former Flyers captain sad good bye, there was a lot more rigid, uncomfortable silence. But when he was invited to play in the Winter Classic alumni game in 2011, we got a second shot at Lindros that we never thought we'd get.
He even gave Bobby Clarke the time of day, in a case of earth-shattering appeasement that nobody in this town had even bothered to fantasize about. When he stepped out on the ice, the crowd exploded--proving that we may be overly "passionate," or whatever adjective they're using to describe us amidst snickers this week, but we can appreciate the rarity of a higly coveted second chance.

Hey guys/gals. I have a few questions, and I hope I am in the correct forum.
I am working on learning c#, so I am going through the programming challenges. I have completed the first two, but I want to expand on them. Instead of having to copy and paste, I want to make it a one button press thing. Have the program login, to HTS, go to mission, download whatever is needed, and then post the answer. Is there a way in C# to login into HTS? If there isn't, I don't want to waste anymore time on it. My guess is there has to be a way.
Second question. I was looking at learning Java or c#. did I make the right choice choosing c# or is java a better, more versatile language?
Thanks for your help in advance!!

Effects of smoking on fertility
I would like to know if smoking could be a primary cause of infertility in women. I am a 31 year old female who has been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for 7 years. I have been to various specialists and there is not any other factor that appears to be significant enough to result in my problems with fertility. If I knew that smoking was the primary cause of my infertility I would stop. At this point, I'm just stressed and use this as an excuse to continue smoking. If this is a factor in infertility, could you be specific in how it affects fertility. Thanks!!!!!!
There are at least two known ways that smoking affects fertility. It can inhibit ovarian function and prematurely age the ovary. It has been shown that smokers have an increase in miscarriage when pregnancy does occur. Despite this and the fact that smoking has more profound effects on the body than the slight decrease in fertility, you should look for all the other treatable causes of infertility and not just attribute it to smoking.

Search for missing Conway teen grows in intensityBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 10. 2013 9:09PM
CONWAY - On the eve of her 15th birthday, the search continues for a Conway girl last seen Wednesday afternoon leaving Kennett High School.
Abigail Hernandez was reported missing by her mother, Zenya Hernandez. Police said when her mother returned to their home at 86 Village Way Wednesday, the teenager was not there.
Conway police believe Abigail arrived home, based on a track found by a New Hampshire State Police dog.
Hernandez, reached Thursday evening, began to speak to a Union Leader reporter about her daughter's disappearance, but a woman identifying herself as "the county attorney" abruptly ended the interview.
The Carroll County attorney is Robin J. Gordon.
At a news conference Thursday evening, Police Chief Edward Wagner said police are handling the matter as a missing person case.
"There's no reason to believe that this is any more than a missing person case right now," he said. "We'll search the area where Abigail was last seen and the search will continue into tonight and tomorrow."
Conway firefighters spent Thursday searching near the girl's home, and assembled at the Thompson Road trailhead to help search near Puddin' Pond. The pond is across North-South Road from Village Way.
Jane Young, senior assistant attorney general, said the Attorney General's Office, which typically takes over homicide investigations, is in Conway to help search for Abigail.
"Don't read anything into that," she said. "This is strictly a missing person case."
Young said the Attorney General's Office is providing investigators and attorneys to help.
"This is what we do in New Hampshire," she said. "We come together and we work together.
"We're providing whatever assistance we can to help find this girl," she said.
So far, the investigation has included witness interviews, a search of Abigail's home and the surrounding area and traces of phone calls. Her name was submitted to the National Crime Information Center as a missing person.
Abigail is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 118 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a light olive complexion.
She was last seen wearing black yoga or stretch pants, a gray sweatshirt and black boots.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Colleen Burke, Westminster College associate professor of communication studies, attended the 2012 annual convention of the Pennsylvania Communication Association (PCA) Oct. 12-14 at Ursinus College in Collegeville.
As president of PCA, Burke managed the executive council meetings, the PCA annual business meeting, and the awards ceremony and banquet. Burke also attended panels that will benefit her students in the upcoming spring semester "Communication Ethics" course. She will be adopting and incorporating several new key readings from the conference into the course.
Burke also attended panels on service-learning. Service-learning is an educational method in which the service is integrated into the course curriculum and allows students to grasp "real-life" experiences in their field of study, while meeting community needs through service. Burke is a service-learning faculty fellow at the College and incorporates service projects into most of her courses. The information gathered from the panels will be helpful in troubleshooting some logistic issues that sometimes arise in service-learning courses.
The PCA, founded in 1939, promotes teaching, research, service, and development in all areas of human communication. Burke has been a member of the organization since 1999, serving as vice president (2010-2011), chair of the Communication Education Interest Council (2009-2010) and co-chair of the Communication Education Interest Council and the Interpersonal/Organizational Communication Interest Council (2008-2009).
Burke, who has been with Westminster since 2002, earned undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. degrees from Duquesne University. Dr. Burke's areas of specialty are interpersonal and organizational communication and communication ethics. Outside of Westminster College, Burke is a consultant for local and global manufacturing companies, providing guidance on conflict management skills and communication strategies for management and employees.

At Fortum & Masons.
It's best to keep certaines personnes at a distance from the jam jars. They have been known to attack a jar of jam with a spoon and not stop till they hit bottom.
I love love love your pictures. I got to go to Paris in May and to be brought back every morning, is a treat.
Would you do a blog on the velos? I loved those bikes. And maybe the views from the batobus? Our two favourite ways of getting around...
I've yet to get on a velo and don't have any plans to
Walking is my best mode of promenading around.
Never been on a BATO bus either...
What is that anyway?
Oh! I squealed when I saw those little F&M jars of jam! Here I am in France, loin de Londres, ma ville natale, and feeling homesick. I did, however, receive a F&M hamper at Christmas with some of those same jars. Saved the labels, of course.
You're longing for Paris, I'm here longing for London. I hope you get back to Paris soon!
This post just made me smile...and
it made me long even more for my
next trip to Paris, which isn't
until October! Your posts are
just wonderful!
Flora Doora
Ach..how can anyone resist those lovely little jars with a bit of heaven inside. Just one of life's absolute pleasures.. I think it's like capturing a little bit of the season in a spoon. hmm...toast and jam for lunch? possibly...ReplyDelete
oh oh! certaines personnes could also be me!!!!!! with a serious jam habit and a terribly rainy departure on monday. and wanting to go straight back....
actually the bikes are a nice way to get around but they are NOT good for taking pictures cause you're way distracted with not wanting to kill or be killed on them!
hope certaines personnes are also enjoying their holidays in spain.......Nice Life!
Certaines personnes are a canard chanceux!!!
Against jam...
nothing works
Jam is deadly
Jam infiltrates the brain and turns it to jelly.
Speaking as a completely unqualified legal advisor, I believe Certain Personnes would be entitled to cry "Entrapment" in any of the abundantly illustrated situations....after all, it is only human or should I say personne-like to partake of those delectables laid out before you COMPLETE WITH IMPLEMENTS!!!!
That's your story; stick to it.

I love your blog, paintings, and photos. I lived in Europe for over 20 years, and whilst I am happy to be back, I miss certain things. Paris is one of them, although I am happy to be close enough NYC, to visit a few times a year.
I keep in touch with a lot of my friends abroad through facebook. I am certain that your blog would be scooped up and loved by many people. Thought I would make the suggestion.
Please keep writing, painting, photographing, and blogging - it's wonderful.
Best wishes, Myrtle Luma.
Thanks Myrtle,
Please don't mention scoops around me :(
I am on FaceBook as Parisbreakfast I think, but Gawd only knows how it works...
Same goes for Twittering.
I do Flickr Etsy, Blogger, Picnik, Zazzle and am trying to write a 'book' of sorts.
I need a class to get socialized...
Certain personnes, indeed. Oh Carol, how do you know zees personne vill not see eet.
And there's Nutella, too. I'm on a strict no-no re: jams, sugary stuff (not mandated by me, it's for health reasons) & yowsa it's not easy. I have them pushed to back of fridge. Some in cupboards. Wah.
OK, that's it. Maybe the person asking about velos meant les bateaux mouches? Even if touristy, I still love them because of Grant & Hepburn in Charade.
MDR! j'adore cette poste. c'etait très créatif avec beaucoup de humour!ReplyDelete
p.s j'ai un pot de confiture que j'avais acheté chez HarrodsReplyDelete
I thought of you today as I had my very first macaron at a special lunch on Bastille Day at the restaurant at LA Burdick's Chocolate in Walpole, New Hampshire. (That was the company
that was selling Chocolate Soup at the Bastille Day celebration in New York last weekend). Thank you for introducing me to macarons. Now I understand what you're talking about!
Better jam than Speculoos, my friend!
And I think the next step is Carol's homemade Smuckers...
I guess I am also one of those "certaines personnes" too. I sat at the same table at Fortum and Mason and had the same delicious (but overpriced tea!) that you did! Took the jam back to Paris where I was staying too!
Hope to meet you one day - you need to have a show at the Alliance here in LA!

Graphiti - a Graphical Tooling Infrastructure
This page contains useful information for developers working on the Graphiti framework itself. Users of the framework (building Graphiti-based tools) should rather have a look onto our Eclipse page at http://www.eclipse.org/graphiti.
Central Build
Build Job
Our central Hudson build job can be found here. Graphiti uses Buckminster for its automated build and test run. See here for a detailed description of the Graphiti build process.
Providing the Build for a Milestone
These steps need to be done in order to provide a new delivery for an Eclipse milestone:
- The week before the milestone (see below)
- Update reference to Orbit in rmap file (latest S-build gets released in the week before the milestone or during the weekend)
- Register at cross-project issues mailing list and bugzilla component (see participation in release train section)
- Add email adress to Graphiti part of aggregation build to get notified in case Graphiti causes the aggregation to fail
- Do at least one test build on Friday
- The week of the milestone(see below)
- Do a milestone candidate build every day in the week of the milestone
- Update News&Noteworthy document (on Graphiti site and copy into doc plugin) before building last milestone
- Provide the milestone build on +3 day
- Update the downloads page on our web site with the newest ZIP file linkand update site content
- Do some more testing after +3 day using the EPP packages
- Check that everything gets installed correctly from the staging update site (sent around on cross-project issues mailing list as soon as it is ready)
How to do a build for Graphiti on Hudson
- Open https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson and log on using your Eclipse dev user
- Go to the Graphiti build job (https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson) and select build
- Set the build properties
- build_type "S"
- build_alias should be meaningfull, e.g. 0.9.0M1
- site_signing should be enabled
- Use shell access to build.eclipse.org to copy build result (signed P2 site and ZIP, both are stored after a successful build in the last_success folder of the build job) to the Eclipse download area under graphiti/updates/milestones/<build name and ID> and graphiti/archives/milestones/<build name and ID>.
- Add the new update site to the composite milestones update site
- Use SFTP to access the build server and download the JARs describing the content of the composite update site
- Extract the XML files from them and add links to the new site
- Update the number of children and the date
- Create new JARs and upload them
- There's also some ANT tasks out there that should do the job...
- Do the testing on +2 day based on the daily milestone candidate
API Tooling
We use the Eclipse API tooling to fulfill Eclipse version number and API stability requirements. You have to define an API baseline if you are working on the Graphiti releases 0.8.x (service releases only) and beyond. For service releases use the same version as baseline (e.g. 0.8.0 for Indigo SR1) otherwise the last major release (e.g. 0.8.0 for Juno developement).
Coding Conventions
We use the standard Eclipse formatter for our coding with just one exceptional setting: the maximum line width is changed to 120. This setting can be found in the Eclipse preferences under 'Java -> Code Style -> Formatter' by editing the 'Eclipse [built-in]' profile on tab 'Line Wrapping': set the 'Maximum Line Width' in Section 'General settings' to 120.
To be sure that the formatter is really used for all your changes define your save actions (Eclipe preferences under 'Java -> Editor -> Save Actions') to include 'Format source code' with 'Format edited lines' only. Also enable the 'Organize imports' action on this page to get an automated clean-up of the import statements.
The source code of Graphiti is publicly available from the Eclipse Git repository. A general page on Git at Eclipse.org can be found here. If you just want to browse the source code without checking out all the projects, you can use this link for the web access to the Eclipse Git repository for Graphiti.
Git Anonymous Access
Please set up the following Eclipse Git repository location: <protocol>://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/gmp/org.eclipse.gmp.graphiti.git, where <protocol> is one of git, ssh, http or https dependending on what your your network infrastructure allows.
Committer Git Access
Same details as anonymous access, using git, ssh or https as protocol and specific username/password as assigned by Eclipse. Eclipse Git repository location is <protocol>://<Eclipse dev user name>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/gmp/org.eclipse.gmp.graphiti.git
Here are the steps to set up EGit in Eclipse:
- Set environment variable HOME to define the folder where Git will clone repositories to, e.g. "C:\Users\<windows user name>\.git"
- Import Git repository:
- Supported protocols for cloning are git, ssh, http and https
- From behind a firewall http and https will work
- Recommendation is to use ssh (no firewall) or https (in case of a firewall)
- Open Windows --> Preferences --> Team --> Git --> Configuration and set the following user setting in the .gitconfig file in your HOME directory
- user.name <Eclipse dev user name>
- user.email <Email adress registered for Eclipse dev user>
Working on Bugzillas (Contributions and Commiting)
This is what you should do to fully complete a Bugzilla:
- Of course, fix the bug or provide the enhancement
- Create a JUnit test testing the change and add it to one of the Graphiti test suites
- Prefered tests are the pure JUnit tests, if not possible also adding to the SWTBot test suite (as JUnit Plugin or real SWTBot test) is ok as well
- It should be green, of course ;-)
- All other tests contained in all the test suites should still pass
- Check for any warnings in your coding and fix them if possible
- Provide some kind of raw documentation for your change, this may be directly in the Bugzilla, in the JavaDoc, on this Wiki page or in the online help (e.g. in the tutorial)
- Bugs will need very little documentation, while functional enhancements will need more attention
As development IDE you should use the newest Eclipse installation of your choice, at the time this was written the newest Eclipse version was 3.7 (Indigo). You will need SWTBot in your developement IDE to be able to run the Graphiti SWTBot-based UI tests. Also you will need to add Buckminster (version 3.7 at the time this was written) to your installation. For more details see the Getting Started Guide.
Basically you will need the same installation for your target platform as well, but it needs to contain EMF SDK, EMF Transactions SDK and GEF SDK (see getting started guide). Buckminster is not needed here, but SWTBot is. Additionally you will need to install GMF runtime (it hosts some vector support functionality we use from export.batik plugin that you have to collect individually otherwise).
Mailing List
The Graphiti developer mailing list allows to follow and participate in discussions on the Graphiti framework. You can subscribe here.

Leptin Therapy Reverses Hyperglycemia in Mice With Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes, Independent of Hepatic Leptin Signaling
OBJECTIVE Leptin therapy has been found to reverse hyperglycemia and prevent mortality in several rodent models of type 1 diabetes. Yet the mechanism of leptin-mediated reversal of hyperglycemia has not been fully defined. The liver is a key organ regulating glucose metabolism and is also a target of leptin action. Thus we hypothesized that exogenous leptin administered to mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes reverses hyperglycemia through direct action on hepatocytes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS After the induction of diabetes in mice with a high dose of STZ, recombinant mouse leptin was delivered at a supraphysiological dose for 14 days by an osmotic pump implant. We characterized the effect of leptin administration in C57Bl/6J mice with STZ-induced diabetes and then examined whether leptin therapy could reverse STZ-induced hyperglycemia in mice in which hepatic leptin signaling was specifically disrupted.
RESULTS Hyperleptinemia reversed hyperglycemia and hyperketonemia in diabetic C57Bl/6J mice and dramatically improved glucose tolerance. These effects were associated with reduced plasma glucagon and growth hormone levels and dramatically enhanced insulin sensitivity, without changes in glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. Leptin therapy also ameliorated STZ-induced hyperglycemia and hyperketonemia in mice with disrupted hepatic leptin signaling to a similar extent as observed in wild-type littermates with STZ-induced diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS These observations reveal that hyperleptinemia reverses the symptoms of STZ-induced diabetes in mice and that this action does not require direct leptin signaling in the liver.
