This week, we’d like to direct your attention to the following articles at www.medlineplus.gov, a Web site run by the National Institutes of Health, and diabetes.about.com, a diabetes blog written by practicing nurse Debra Manzella. The articles are about a recent clinical trial of anakinra, an injected drug that is used to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The trial found that it also holds some promise for helping to manage Type 2 diabetes.

The study was published in The New England Journal of Medicine on April 12.

  2. Hi Anthony,

    For a comprehensive consideration of fish oil supplements, please check out dietitian Amy Campbell’s recent blog entry, Fabulous Fish Oil Findings, Part 3. It also contains links to the first two entries in the series, which also address the issue. These entries should address your questions.
