Row spacing studies at Cornell on corn silage have shown about a 5 percent benefit to decreasing row spacing from 30 to 15 inches. Forage quality of corn silage produced in narrow rows has been similar to that produced in wide rows at the same plant population.
Diabetes & Insulin. In diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin or use it properly. This causes your blood sugar to go too high. Oral medications, like metformin, may help your body to use insulin more efficiently. Other oral medications can help your body make more insulin.
Answer:Metformin is one of the agents that we use to treat type 2 diabetes. It's actually one of the first agents that we might use, as long as you don't have any known side effects of kidney problems. One of the best effects of metformin is that in addition to lowering blood sugars, it also can promote just a little bit of weight loss. Not a lot, maybe two to three pounds. But that's in contrast to other medications for diabetes which can actually cause weight gain.
