Although at times in the past we called it “pungent sound.” The paper mills in Everett used to dump their effluent into the Sound and the sulfurous odor was extreme. Good times, good times.

That sentence was preceded by this one: > In addition to evaluating verapamil, the trial also assessed whether an intensive glucose management approach that included use of an automated insulin delivery system to try to get glucose levels as close to normal as possible could have a beneficial effect on the pancreas’ insulin secretion.

So I read it that the glucose management had no benefit to the pancreas, whereas the Verapamil did. Though it’s not very clear.

We have a summer cabin on one of the islands in the Sound and there is a bear that swims out to the island from the mainland every year- it’s a little over a mile.

There’s some bizarre fauna on some of those islands- there’s one that has herds of African(?) animals (they look like gazelle or springbok- I’ve never really been able to get a good look). I’ve seen them a couple times from kayaking/sailing nearby. I was told that the owner of that island set it up as a private hunting preserve (not sure if true).

Orcas have been observed preying on terrestrial mammals, such as deer swimming between islands off the northwest coast of North America

took that from the wikipedia page. I think the same area that these orca have been observed eating deer that swim in the water has a pack of wolves that also swims in those waters. So, maybe what i said is a stretch from a stretch but still within the realm of possibility i believe.

Have T1 diabetes, have been part of a clinical study during the "honeymoon stage" (when you are still producing a little insulin), to see if this phase can be prolonged, it didn't, still have T1 and my pancreas is about as useful as a meringue dildo.

Edit : "much better glucose levels were achieved with this approach compared with standard care that included use of continuous glucose monitoring; however, unfortunately a benefit on the pancreas was not observed."

This sentence completely contradicts the heading.
