It's relaxing and it works.
2008-04-19I wasn't expecting too much from this product when I purchased it. I was able to get it during a special promotion and it cost me less than twenty dollars. I would say that it's about 4' long. The massaging feature works great, though I've used more powerful massage pads/mats in the past and this definitely isn't for any deep massaging or working out any knots... just relaxing. The heat feature also works well, though after about five minutes of use it didn't get too hot... just a nice gentle heat. All in all, it's a decent product that would fit an average-size person well, and great for relaxing after a long day. I like that unlike the chair pads, you can use it in many different positions (chair, bed, etc). It came with the a/c adapter to plug it into a wall and I like the straps that keep it rolled up when not in use. I gave it four stars because it's just an average product - nothing special, but no complaints either.

Water and Diabetes
Have you ever seen a recipe where it calls for "reducing" something by 50%? What this refers to is cooking the water out of the food until it is 1/2 the volume that it was when you started. This process concentrates the food.
When your body gets low on water, everything becomes concentrated. This includes your blood sugar. When you are dehydrated, your urine gets darker, you become constipated and your blood sugars go up.
Ideally, each person should drink 1 ounce of water each day, for every 2.5 pounds of body weight. When you do not reach this goal, everything is more concentrated in your blood stream - this includes your blood sugar.
When you see a high blood sugar, you then treat it by changing the dose of your medication. However, f the blood sugar elevation is false, because you do not have enough fluids on board, you may be giving yourself unnecessary additional insulin.
The best way to avoid dehydration and the possible complications is to:
1. drink 1 ounce of water ...
appendectomy
Surgical removal of the appendix.
