Hi,

We come to you with a quick tip to help you ward off type 2 diabetes. A recent study reveals that people with moderate muscle strength, maintained through resistance exercise, may be at a considerably lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

Evidence continues to pile up for metformin as one more study highlights the long-term protective effects of metformin against diabetes development, especially those with higher HbA1c levels and women who have had gestational diabetes. This and more you can read in the Gems issue this month. Our regular updates-Gems picture of the month, Gems video etc. will continue to enlighten you.

Thanking you once again for the comments and suggestions. If in case you are not interested in receiving this free monthly scientific newsletter, kindly reply with "delete gems" in the subject line to info@jothydev.net
