Insulin Resistance

“You know you’re going to become a diabetic, don’t you?” Said my doctor as we went over my blood work.

I suppose I should be proud to say this amazingly simple product, TV Allowance, was developed at a university in my locality.  Researchers came up with a large-calculator-sized device that lets families program “budgets” into their home televisions and computers, decreasing the available screen time from 10% to 50% over a period of several months.  They then [...]
