I just did a quick gut check on my blogging efforts over the past year. Who really cares about what I believe and what I know about life insurance? Who reads this and really believes that I can do what I claim? I have had more than just a little interest in weblogs...

I become more amazed each day with the way diseases are linked to each. We’ve talked many times about obesity and the link to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. And we’ve talked about the link between diabetes and heart disease in the absence of obesity....

We have discussed on numerous occasions the rapid increase of obesity in teenagers and the impact that has had on the increase of teenage and young adult type 2 diabetes. It is not a pretty picture that is being painted. Now, the New England Journal of Medicine, has...

It’s been some time since I’ve just given a diabetes underwriting 101 overview. Some companies have changed stances, but overall the market remains somewhat consistent. Underwriters look at type 2 diabetes from several directions. Age of onset is a fairly...

After the FDA recently took rather extreme action by forcing Avandia to boldly mark it’s bottles with warnings that the drug can cause heart attacks, Avandia took another hit. It seems that some studies had shown an increased incidence of broken bones among...
