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.
Medications that reduce insulin resistance (insulin-sensitizing and antihyperglycemic effects) include metformin and the thiazolidinediones. Metformin is a biguanide; it reduces hepatic glucose output and increases the uptake in the peripheral tissues (muscle and adipocytes).
