The good news is type 2 diabetes is manageable with the correct regimen. However, people can develop further health complications or life-threatening conditions when it’s not. Among others, diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with approximately 1 in 3 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes also having CKD, according to the CDC. Diabetes can also increase a person’s risk for nerve damage, heart disease, mouth problems, foot problems, vision loss, and mental health conditions....

Here is where the campaign could get interesting. When it comes to middle-class aspirations, Bush is in tune on tone; Gore is in sync on substance. The candidate who manages to thread his thematic needle best on these longings and insecurities wins. Beyond prosperity, the economic backdrop to this election is that the United States is rapidly resembling a Latin American republic. In 1976 the richest 1 percent held about 20 percent of the nation’s net worth....

The asteroid, named 2015 RN35, will pass our planet at a distance of about 426,000 miles and will be traveling at speeds of 5.91 kilometers per second, or around 13,220 miles per hour, as shown by close approach data from NASA’s Near Earth Observatory. While this may sound exceptionally far away, in astronomical terms the asteroid is coming fairly closer to Earth. The moon orbits us at a distance of 238,900 miles, while our nearest planetary neighbor, Venus, is currently 153....

The planet, known as WASP-103b, is located around 1,225 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Hercules. The planet is huge—a gas giant 1.5 times the size of Jupiter. But unlike Jupiter, the planet orbits extremely close to its host star. WASP-103b is only 1.8 million miles away from its star WASP-103. By comparison, Earth is on average 93 million miles away from the sun. The planet is so close to its star that it completes an orbit of it in less than a day....

Catcher Jason Castro on Monday insisted that they’re not mad that Appel, the ‘Stros’ top draft pick last year, worked out at Minute Maid Park on Sunday morning before heading off to his Double-A club. That’s not how the Houston Chronicle’s Jose de Jesus Ortiz heard it. He reported Sunday that players (anonymously, of course) complained to him about Appel seemingly receiving special treatment, as well as about the Astros’ front office not being committed to winning now....

But the Red Sox and Astros gave an early indication Friday that their ALCS will be high-scoring. The two powerhouse offenses each racked up double-digit hit totals, and only by going a combined 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position and leaving 18 runners on base were they able to keep the score at 5-4, with the Astros prevailing. The Astros’ pitchers settled in after allowing three runs in the top of the third, and Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa delivered key blows in the sixth and seventh innings to spark Houston to the Game 1 win....

The Braves might not have been able to clinch the World Series title in their home ballpark, but they wasted little time in Houston establishing that they would end the series in six games. The Braves hit three home runs, including a moonshot by Jorge Soler, to power the offense to seven runs — the second time the team scored that many runs at Houston in three games. The offensive outpouring was more than enough for Max Fried and the Braves bullpen, who shut out Houston to win Game 6 7-0 and claim the team’s fourth World Series title....

The 56-page plan for the annual Houston festival, founded in 2019 by rapper Travis Scott, included plans of action for various scenarios like an active shooter or severe weather, according to the Associated Press.

Authorities are citing crowd surge as the primary cause of the “mass casualty event” that took place at the festival on November 5....

Diego Simeone’s men appeared to have lost all belief when John Guidetti netted 12 minutes from time to punish Fernando Torres’ first-half penalty miss, but Carrasco hit a sweet volley and then the previously anonymous Griezmann was decisive when it really mattered, as Atletico bounced back from their Copa del Rey semi-final defeat to Barcelona to jump back into the top four in LaLiga.
