Great for Back Acne
2008-10-02This is gross - but I had a scurvy acne back for quite some time. This soap has cleared it up over 1 month of use. If you have "bacacne," I would recommend this stuff. The scent isn't deep and chemical; notice the bottle says "soap free" -- this is really good wash for sensitive, oily skin.
good stuff
2008-02-16it has been 7 years since i have seen nivea shower products in the USA and let me just say that i am so glad they are back and that i don't have to spend $15 every time i want a new one. don't get me wrong, it is worth every cent. i'd pay more, actually, but you know. this stuff feels great on the skin (manly men, there is nothing wrong with wanting soft skin. there is everything wrong bad hygeine)i gotta say, the fragrance seemed just OK at first, in the bottle. but like a lot of shower gels, i think it works with the steam of the shower, because once i apply this, it has an awesome, soapy-fresh scent that i love. try this or the nivea for men energy shower gel. that one, actually, is the best smelling bath product EVER! way better than axe, old spice, or anything else on the market.

Differences in Test Strips
Just as there is a myriad of glucometer types, there are also many differnt typs of diabetes testing strips.
Generally, the strips are constructed of plastic and an absorbant layer, which draws in and "holds" the blood to be tested.
Some strips have layers that pull the blood down a small channel in the strip, to the lens in the glucometer, where the blood sugar is "read." This channel is located on the very tip of the strip, for some test strips, and on the side of the strip, for others. Many of these strips require only a minute amount of blood to complete the test.
Others have a designated place on the strip, where you place a drop of blood, for the glucometer eye to read. These strips tend to require a larger drop, in order to complete the test.
The difference between the test strips can impact your choice of glucometer - and associated test strips - as some persons may find that one type of strip is easier to work with, than the other.

Populations at Risk for Heart Disease
There are several populations who have factors that put them at higher-risk for heart disease.
-The elderly, those over 65 years old,
-Males are generally more at risk than females. Gender plays a part in heart disease risk factor, however women are catching up with men in diagnosis of heart disease,
-Heredity, meaning heart disease can be genetic and can run in families.
-A person's race
These factors are risk factors that cannot be controlled. If you are one of the people who would be considered high-risk, it is important that you work with your physician on ways to combat the disease.
Heart disease is often controllable or preventable, if a person has good medical care and an awareness of any risk factors in their lives.
