Genital Warts

Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses in the genital or penis area. In women, they occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus), or around the anus. They are approximately as prevalent in men, but the symptoms may be less obvious. When present, they appear on the tip of the penis. They also present on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum or around the anus. Rarely do genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person. Genital warts may disappear without treatment, but sometimes eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether they will grow or disappear. Genital warts (or Condyloma, Condylomata acuminata, or venereal warts) are a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection caused by some sub-types the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV spreads via direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, genital or anal sex with an infected partner.

Type 2 Diabetes and Weight

Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which blood sugar levels are above normal. High blood sugar is a major cause of coronary heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, amputation and blindness. In 2002, diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes in the United States. This form of diabetes is most often associated with old age, obesity, family history of diabetes, previous history of gestational diabetes and physical inactivity. The disease is more common among certain ethnic populations.
More than 85 percent of people with Type 2 diabetes are overweight. Doctors do not know exactly why overweight people are more likely to develop diabetes. Doctors think that being overweight causes cells to change, making them resistant to the hormone insulin. Insulin carries sugar from blood to the cells, where it is used for energy. When a person is insulin resistant, blood sugar cannot be taken up by the cells, resulting in high blood sugar. In addition, the cells that produce insulin must work extra hard to try to keep blood sugar normal. This may cause these cells to gradually fail.
A person may lower his or her risk for developing Type 2 diabetes by losing weight and increasing the amount of physical activity he or she does. If a person has Type 2 diabetes, losing weight and becoming more physically active can help him or her control blood sugar levels and prevent or delay complications. Losing weight and exercising more may also allow a person to reduce the amount of diabetes medication he or she takes. The Diabetes Prevention Program, a large clinical study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, found that losing just five to seven percent of body weight and doing moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, may prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
