Health - 1 October 2006

We are a patient group of diabetics using insulin pumps. We are trying to persuade the UK Government to put more resources behind insulin pump therapy in the UK. We fall way behind in the use of medical technology compared to the rest of Europe and the USA.

I am trying to establish how many diabetics use insulin pumps to treat their diabetes throughout the world. Any information would be gratefully received

Does it have to be water? Is it 1 litre a day or is it more? If it has to be water can I add juice to it to make it more interesting?

Thanks

I dropped a heavy mirror (with sharp edges) on my foot yesterday and the bleeding was insane, it soaked several dressings. The cut is very deep, but bizarrely it doesn't hurt at all.

Have I severed a nerve? Will that cause me any problems in the future?

Is i t true that eating grapefruit helps your body to minimise the amount of insuline produced, so that the food you eat isnt stored as fat but used as energy?

I've just started working out and was wondering how long it will take until I see noticible results? I'm 24 years old. I'm not fat, I just want to lose maybe 10 pounds and mostly just tone up and get definition. I'll be working out 3 days a week (the days I have class so I can use the rec center at college). I'm planning on doing about 60 min cardio and 30 min weight training or 45 min cardio and 45 min weight traning.

How long should I expect to wait in order to see noticible results? I'm rather impatient and don't want to get discouraged after 2 weeks and quit if I don't see results. Thanks

I really need to lose about 30 lbs. I gained it after I stopped smoking. I get absolutely compulsive about chocolate, or chrunchy foods. I know I am very stressed and a touched depressed. I exercise 5 times a week, but I still go no where. What can I do? How can I break the almost obsessive behaviour?

My partner has an allegery to both wheat and yeast. We would like to know if there is a form of alcohol out there that she could drink without adverse affect.

Spirits may not contain wheat as they are distilled and not fermented yet they must still require yeast. We have heard that yeast is killed off in alcohol greater than 15%, if this is true is there evidence available?

Ive noticed that people nowday are able to think about a song and then its on the radio the next minute or so or ar able to guess the net few lines of a tv program and even think about someone and they ring you in the next few minutes so are we going to evolve into muscle and machine like the borg but hopefully without trying to assimilate everyone or are we just reaching a new stage into human evolution potential.

I used to masturbate quite often for about 2 years, and sometimes twice a day. But, you know, recently, I masturbate only once a week and now I even didn't masturbate on this month! My penis still can erect but even that happens I don't feel that I want to masturbate even look at sexy pictures. Am I transfering into something or am I getting out of it?
