Power Line Magazine is pleased to present to you an interview dealing with a problem which possibly concerns the majority of our readers.  Diabetes!
   In our research and our interview, we find that it is not that simple.  There are other problems associated with diabetes that perhaps we did not know.
   A number of hormone producing glands work together.  When one is out of sync, it can affect the others.  Diabetes is just one disease caused by a lack of insulin produced from the Pancreas.  Endocrine glands include:

   Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol.
   Hypothalamus: A part of the lower middle brain that tells the pituitary gland when to release hormones.
   Ovaries: The female reproductive organs that release eggs and produce sex hormones.
   Islet cells in the pancreas: Cells in the pancreas control the release of the hormones insulin and glucagon.
   Parathyroid: Four tiny glands in the neck that play a role in bone development.
   Pineal gland: A gland found near the center of the brain that may be linked to sleep patterns.
   Pituitary gland: A gland found at the base of brain behind the sinuses. It is often called the "master gland" because it influences many other glands, especially the thyroid. Problems with the pituitary gland can affect bone growth, a woman's menstrual cycles, and the release of breast milk.
   Testes: The male reproductive glands that produce sperm and sex hormones.
   Thymus: A gland in the upper chest that helps develop the body's immune system early in life.
   Thyroid: A butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck that controls metabolism.

   In my video interview, I asked Dr. Mezitis many questions I think you might have.  Being a diabetic myself, I know they were questions I wanted the answers to..

   Dr. Mezitis is a consultant in diabetes mellitus, endocrinology and nutrition.

   Dr. Mezitis has some very strong credentials. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Heidelberg University in Germany. He trained at the medical centers of George Washington University, Thomas Jefferson University, Harvard University and Columbia University.
