I was reading a few articles and came across a couple that were interesting based on two studies that were just published

I am reading Dr. Sidhartha Mukherjeeā€™s new book, The Song of the Cell. Many of you may have read his two previous books, The Emperor of all Maladies ( A biography of cancer), and The Gene: An Intimate History. The chapter on the Selfish Cell in his book, The Song of the Cell, is fascinating. And for us diabetics the chapter on, Orchestrating Cells, has amazing thoughts about our pancreas and itā€™s cell function in diabetes. Many new develops are on the horizon. There are over 37 trillion cells in the human body. If one cellā€™s contents were taken apart it would stretch to 6 1/2 feet. All the cells would stretch to the sun and back. Great read on many promising workings on cells for us diabetics.

Very informative Graham! Thanks for updating us on this news. It's encouraging to know that new discoveries are being made. I had never heard that diabetics tend to have less cancer -- that's a nice "little" silver lining.
