A new research seems to support this notion for diabetics by stating that heavy or large breakfasts and small dinners are beneficial for diabetes patients. Both of these meals help control blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes. The researchers found that diabetics who eat large breakfasts and small dinners each day had fewer instances of high blood sugar compared to those who did not follow this pattern. Dr Daniela Jakubowickz, a researcher at Tel Aviv University's Wolfson Medical Center in Israel, told Reuters Health that the type 2 diabetes patients base their meals on their "internal clocks." "They frequently skip breakfast while eating a high-calorie dinner." After conducting a study on eight men and ten women who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (all aged between 30 and 70), researchers found that blood glucose levels were 20 percent lower after dinner, and insulin levels were 20 percent higher during the time that participants ate large breakfasts and small dinners. "Our study demonstrated that a large breakfast and reduced dinner is a beneficial alternative for the management of glucose balance during the day and should be considered as a therapeutic strategy in type 2 diabetes." Researchers, however, did not mention the kind of large breakfast type 2 diabetes patients should have every morning. They suggested that they should eat a 700-calorie breakfas Designer Babies Soon to be Reality? Imagine your child having the looks of the beautiful and smart people in the world. Now it soon will be possible. Researchers said that the designer babies can soon be a reality. Designer babies are the next big thing in modern science and scientists have created a genetically modified human embryo to revolutionise the health care system. These genetically modified human embryos can soon lead to the creation of designer babies. They have been created by altering the DNA of human embryos. According to experts, this invention can be a boon for those who want to prevent a genetically inherited disease passed down from their previous generations. However, genetic engineering has always drew flak. Same is the case with designer babies. Critics say that it might prove dangerous and ethically unacceptable. This research was conducted on ovary cells taken from a woman with inherited ovarian cancer. + iHealth
