“…'' 53 In his analysis of Anglo-American literary relations during the nineteenth century, Clarence Gohdes attests to the shared class interests and sympathies that led to widespread support among upper-class Britons for the American South, who saw the imminent demolition of the feudal economy and aristocratic social structures from which they had benefited in their own country. 54 Cultural ties, that is, produced political ties.…”

The absorption of the language into literary history did not transpire because historians took at face value the claims of postwar writers to working-class kinship. If that had been the case, literary historians might have heeded the similar rhetoric of labor deployed by antebellum writers, recently documented by Michael Newbury. 14 This rhetoric of literary labor had even played an active role in the prewar copyright movement, as manifest in John Jay's 1830 address before the House Committee on the Judiciary, in which he proclaimed that the writer ''writes and he labors as assiduously as does the mechanic or husbandman.'' 15 The rhetoric of authorial labor, then, was by no means specific to the postwar period or even to that phase of the copyright movement, but what made possible the canonization of this late-century rhetoric was an enthusiasm and appetite for historical narrative that pervaded not only the 1880s but also the international copyright movement itself. 16 The copyright movement was perhaps the most important institutional sponsor of the production of literary history in the period. Activists turned out countless works documenting injuries from piracy across American history. Publisher George Haven Putnam's 1891 collection The Question of Copyright contains no fewer than five separate histories of literary copyright, from antiquity to the late nineteenth century. Writers less inclined to produce full-length histories often peppered their prose on copyright with examples taken from the American literary past. Many of the era's most accomplished literary historians-including Thomas Lounsbury of Yale, Moses Coit Tyler of Cornell and the University of Michigan, and Charles Richardson of Dartmouth-were avowed sympathizers of and activists in the copyright movement. Other writers began their careers as literary historians by writing in support of international copyright. Brander Matthews, for example, was first a drama critic and playwright before he began to produce essays chronicling literary property rights. He eventually became one of the most successful and highly regarded American literary historians of the late nineteenth century, selling nearly 250,000 copies of his Introduction to the Study of American Literature (1896). The ties between literary history and the copyright movement were so pronounced that even works of literary history with no immediate service to the movement functioned as barely disguised copyright propaganda. For example, Lounsbury's 1882 biography of James Fenimore Cooper expressly discussed Cooper's long-standing American Literature

“…That diabetes rates were higher in full-blooded Native Americans was observed in Choctaw Indians in 1965 21 and in the early Pima surveys. Moreover the Pima community showed (and shows) the highest rates among individuals with full Native American heritage 22 .…”

What is diabetes? Diabetes is a disease. According to WHO: Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels 1. The CDC's National Diabetes Fact Sheet (2007) defines diabetes in this way: Diabetes is a group of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death, but people with diabetes can take steps to control the disease and lower the risk of complications 2. The scientific community recognizes three types of diabetes. The first type of diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, previously known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset or childhood diabetes, is characterized by defects in insulin production and requires daily insulin injections. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 % of all diagnosed cases of diabetes among the adults. The type two diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, previously also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes, results from the inability of the body to use insulin effectively. In adults Type 2 diabetes account for about 90 to 95% The third type is gestational, a form of glucose intolerance diagnosed during pregnancy. Other types of diabetes result from specific genetic conditions, surgery, infections and other illness. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is increasing worldwide, especially in population transitioning from traditional to modern lifestyle such as South India 3 and Taiwan 4. Prevalence and incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus are highest among the adults, but it is increasingly affecting also young people. The impact of diabetes on a person's lifestyle is progressive over time, beginning with the body's cells being resistant to insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Eventually, the pancreas cannot sustain the high insulin production level needed for glucose uptake and insulin levels drop. In November 2009 WHO declared that in 2005, an estimated 1.1 million people died from diabetes, more than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes, almost 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries, Almost half of diabetes deaths occur in people under the age of seventy years; 55% of diabetes deaths are in women and projections of diabetes deaths will double between 2005 and 2030. 5
