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.
Overweight, high cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels all increase the risk of developing heart disease, the leading cause of death in people with Type 2 diabetes. Another advantage of metformin is that it does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) when it is the only diabetes medicine taken. Metformin is typically taken two to three times a day, with meals. The extended-release formula (Glucophage XR) is taken once a day, with the evening meal.
