...waiting for a politically propitious time to release them." U.S. officials concluded that some detainees were there because they had been kidnapped by Afghan warlords and sold for the bounty the U.S. was offering for al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters. "Many would not have been detained under the normal rules of engagement," the source concedes.

Anyone whose glucose level before breakfast--the fasting level--is 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher is considered diabetic. A normal fasting level runs anywhere from 65 mg/dL to just under 100 mg/dL (3.6 mmol/L to 5.6 mmol/L...

Back in 1993 doctors proved that Type 1 diabetics could greatly reduce their risk of complications by intensively managing their glucose levels to keep them as close to normal as possible (using a glucometer to measure the level of sugar in a pinprick of blood and an insulin shot when necessary to bring the level down). Similar results have since been seen with Type 2 diabetics...

Is it those who cannot control how they behave and react to situations, or is it those so-called normal people who have turned a cold shoulder toward their brethren despite possessing the knowledge and skill required to treat them? In fact, the latter better qualify as ill, because they are insensitive to the trauma suffered by the others. Although the mentally ill may be unaware of their disease, the normal...
