Many parents of children classified as overweight or even extremely overweight do not perceive their child as being excessively heavy, with some wrongly believing that their child is “about the right weight,” new research suggests.
In addition, if the parent fails to perceive a weight issue, odds are the child will also fail to see a problem.
These findings are “important” and “troublesome,” the researchers say in their report in the medical journal Diabetes Care, because recognition that a child is overweight is a critical first step to making diet and lifestyle changes to promote weight loss.

The number of adolescent girls taking drugs for Type 2 diabetes nearly tripled in just five years, while use of chronic medicines for psychotic behavior and insomnia roughly doubled among boys and girls aged 10 to 19, a study shows.
Meanwhile, adolescents’ use of drugs for depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, leveled off or dropped in the last two years, after widespread new warnings about safety concerns.
The study, an analysis of prescription drug use from 2001 to 2006 among 370,000 insured children aged 10 to 19, was conducted by Medco Health Inc. of Franklin Lakes, N.J., the country’s biggest prescription benefit manager, and released exclusively to The Associated Press. <<<<< More >>>>> »

cientists have found that diabetes damages DNA in men’s sperm and may affect fertility.
The researchers from Belfast, Northern Ireland showed that the DNA in the nuclei of the sperm cells had greater levels of fragmentation in diabetic men (52%, versus 32% in non-diabetic men), and that there were more deletions of DNA in the tiny, energy-generating structures in the cells called mitochondria (4 versus 3).
“As far as we know, this is the first report of the quality of DNA in the nucleus and mitochondria of sperm in diabetes. Our study identifies important evidence of increased DNA fragmentation of nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA deletions in sperm from diabetic men. These findings cause concern, as they may have implications for fertility,” said Dr Ishola Agbaje who undertook the research
Dr Agbaje and his colleagues examined sperm from 27 diabetic men, with an average age of 34, and 29 non-diabetic men with an average age of 33.
They found that although semen volume was significantly less in diabetic men (2.6 versus 3.3 ml), there were no significant differences in sperm concentration, total sperm output, form and structure of the sperm or their ability to move. <<<<< More >>>>> »

Not many cat owners would greet the news that their cats are diabetic with sangfroid. That diagnosis does carry a life sentence of needles and injections, and, to most owners’ way of thinking, eventually devolves into worsening symptoms and dead-end complications. Mosette Eibert is an exception to that rule. When Eibert learned that her pudgy, 13-year-old domestic longhair, Perry, had diabetes, her response was immediate.
