This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 562,221, filed Mar. 26, 1975, now abandoned.
This application relates generally to the measurement of gaseous species and more particularly to the measurement of gaseous species by means of resonance scattering.
The concentration of metal atoms in a sample is often measured by dissolving the sample (with acids, for example), and spraying the solution into the fuel or oxidizer of a high temperature flame where the compounds containing the metal are thermally decomposed and the concentration of metal atoms in the flame is measured by their absorption or scattering of light, characteristic of the atom. Using standard solutions, containing known amounts of metal atoms, either free or in chemical combination, the measured light absorption or scattering can be calibrated, so that this procedure becomes a means of measuring very small amounts of metal atoms. This type of measurement is limited to the measurement of metal atoms.
The present invention increases the number of specific substances that can be measured directly by the resonance scattering technique, and includes species which can be measured directly by this technique in air, and provides a new means to decompose species, other than by thermal decomposition in flames, into constituents which, for a number of reasons, are preferred over the parent species, for measurement by resonance scattering techniques.
Resonance scattering or absorption can be used to measure atoms, other than metals and molecules. A use of radiation characteristic of atomic deuterium to measure the concentration of CO is outlined in patent application Ser. No. 453,164, filed Mar. 20, 1974 by the present inventor, and suitable sources of resonance radiation are detailed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,851,214 and U.S. Pat. application filed Mar. 10, 1975 entitled Resonance Lamp Having a Triatomic Gas Source and filed in the name of the present inventor.
It is an object of this invention to provide a measurement of gaseous species by means of resonance scattering.
A further object of this invention is to provide a measurement of atoms of metals as well as gases.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a measurement of gaseous species in air.
These and other objects of this invention will become obvious from the following description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein the single FIGURE is a schematic representation of the system of the present invention.
Turning now more specifically to the drawing, the gas containing species to be measured is either pushed into the inlet 13 of conduit 11 and eventually out of outlet 30 of conduit 29, or the gas is sucked into inlet 13 and out of outlet 30 by pumps, fans, etc. (not shown). The gas sample passes further gas inlet 31 into a photofragmentation section 15 whose walls are mirrored as at 17 and 19 and which contains a source of radiation 21 whose characteristics are chosen to effectively decompose the desired species while not decomposing other species present in the gas sample. The gas sample then passes gas inlet 13 and into a scattering chamber 23 where it is illuminated by resonance lamp 25 with a device 36 to generate a magnetic field to shift the frequency of the light emitted from the lamp and whose radiation is detected, after scattering in the gas sample, by detector 27. The gas finally leaves the apparatus through outlet 30.
Inlets 31 and 33 can be used to add gaseous species, which may be diluted in an inert gas, to calibrate or null the apparatus, and to chemically convert species in the gas sample into another species easier to measure. In relation to inlet 33, it may be used to effect a similar conversion on species produced in the photo fragmentation section 15. The scattering chamber must be so constructed that less light from lamp 25 reaches the detector from the walls of the chamber than is scattered into the detector 9 by the species in the gas sample. This can be accomplished by assuring that the surfaces and edges are smooth and by darkening all surfaces.
The simplest examples of the use of the apparatus of this invention are the measurement of H, D, Cl, OH, NO, by resonance scattering of their resonance radiation. Because O2 and N2 do not strongly absorb the resonance radiation characteristic of these species (1216 A, 1215 A, 1158 A, 3064 A, 2040 A) such measurements can be made in air. However, O, whose resonance lines are near 1300 A, cannot be measured in air, except at high altitude where the amount of O2 has diminished sufficiently.
The addition of NO2 through inlets 31 and 33 will chemically remove H and D, and O, the addition of NOCl will remove Cl; the addition of CO or HCl will remove OH, and the addition of O3 will remove NO.
A more complicated use of the device involves adding a species through inlets 31 or 33 to convert one species into another. For example, the addition of CO to convert OH to H which produces
CO+ OH→ CO.sub. 2 + H
A measure of H is then a measure of OH.
Under some circumstances, HCl can be used in place of CO which produces
HCl+ OH→ H2 O+ Cl
In this case, Cl may be measured.
If the photolysis lamp is a mercury lamp designed to emit only the 2537 A line, ClO will be selectively dissociated to Cl and O, and Cl is measured by resonance scattering and constitutes a measurement of ClO. Although ClO might be measured directly by resonance scattering, this indirect method may be superior, because a scattering chamber is generally not needed for measurements in air, since there is no background emission near the 1158 A resonance line of Cl.
Other chlorine containing gases likely to be present in air do not absorb the 2537 A Hg line to any extent. Any other absorption, such as by O3, is not strong and does not lead to the production of Cl. A fifty percent absorption by a species not producing Cl could lead to at most a fifty percent error, while a much smaller absorption leading to Cl production, could produce an order of magnitude error.
If the photolysis lamp is designed to produce the 1849 A mercury line then HCl will be strongly dissociated into H and Cl, both of which can be measured to give a measure of HCl, after calibration. Since H2 O and hydrocarbons, CH4 for example, may also be decomposed, a measure of H requires additional interpretation and auxiliary information if a measure of H is to be a valid measurement of HCl, or H2 O or CH4.
The 1849 A Hg line is strongly absorbed by HNO3 to produce OH+ NO2 and a measure of OH could be a measure of HNO3, after calibration and investigation of possible interference (from H2 O, for example).
A similar way of measuring CH4 and/or H2 O with greater sensitivity, is to use a Kr lamp, emitting at 1236 A, since both H2 O and CH4 absorb at about one thousand times more strongly at this wavelength.
Using such a photolysis lamp, a measure of OH by resonance scattering would be a measure of H2 O and a measure of H would be a measure of CH4 and H2 O which can be corrected for the H2 O contribution, using the OH measurement.
Depending upon the gaseous species to be investigated, the resonance lamp may be designed to emit the following:
1. The resonance lyman alpha line of atomic hydrogen.
2. The lyman alpha resonance line of atomic deuterium.
3. The 1158 A resonance line of atomic chlorine.
4. The 1302, 4, 6 A resonance lines of atomic oxygen.
5. The 3064 A (0,0) band due to OH.
6. The (0,0) γ band of NO at 2040 A.
In the above listed emissions, the detector may take the following forms:
1. A MgF2 windowed NO filled Geiger counter.
2. A LiF windowed NO filled Geiger counter.
3. A filtered photomultiplier for passing either the (0,0) or (0,1) band.
4. A filtered photomultiplier for passing either the (0,0) band or the (0,1), (0,2), (0,3) band.
Further, a magnetic field means 35 may be added to the resonance lamp for obtaining a Zeman modulation of the frequency of emission of said lamp.
The above description and accompanying drawing are illustrative only in that particular structures and parts could be substituted without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims.

40-yard dash times for wide receivers
|02.24.13 at 10:02 am ET
INDIANAPOLIS — Everyone loves them some 40-yard dash times, so we'll update this post throughout the day with the results of some guys the Patriots could potentially look at. Click on the players' names for stories we've written about them at the combine. Times are unofficial.
Tavon Austin, West Virginia: 4.25, 4.31
– Austin's an explosive guy who models his game after Wes Welker. Could be intriguing at 29th overall if he's there. His first time is one-tenth of a second slower than Chris Johnson's record.
Stedman Bailey, West Virginia: 4.50
– One of the WEEI.com draft binkies this year, I'd like Bailey in the middle rounds over Austin. That time isn't great for his size, so maybe this drops him to the third round. Had 25 touchdowns last year.
Justin Hunter, Tennessee: 4.41, 4.44
– Good time for the 6-foot-4 Hunter. A possible first-rounder.
Da'Rick Rogers, Tennessee Tech: 4.52
DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson: 4.50
Terrance Williams, Baylor: 4.52

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Naama Bloom Good old fashioned elbow grease. Our Kids Are Growing Up Faster -- So Should We tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.4268476 2013-11-14T14:12:45-05:00 2014-01-23T18:58:21-05:00 Naama Bloom http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naama-bloom/ Academy of Pediatrics Conference, this was a topic of discussion. The decline is quite steep. In 1960 the age of puberty was 14, today it's 11. Side note: we're talking about puberty (breasts, hips, pubic hair), not first period. Early puberty certainly comes with medical implications but we also need to think about the psychological implications, which I believe we need to address in our homes and our schools. In a Harris Interactive Poll that my own company, HelloFlo, conducted this summer we asked parents with daughters under 18 living in their household who have not gotten their period how prepared they felt to discuss it with her. Only 50 percent said they felt very prepared. While I can't ask these parents what makes them feel underprepared I have spoken to many parents and teens in the past few years about this topic so I can confidently hypothesize that the issue isn't really preparation. It's comfort. Ours and our children's'. Try talking to an adolescent boy or girl about their changing bodies. They won't want to talk to you about it. But that's not a reason to avoid a conversation. And if you need more reasons, keep reading. We are living in a world where our children are being exposed to more media than ever before and the images they are seeing objectify girls and women. American youth spend, on average, 900 hours a year in school and an average of 1,023 hours a year watching television. Got that? More time in front of TV than in front of teachers. Multiple studies of modern media have found that women more than men are portrayed in a sexual manner. Research links exposure to sexualized female ideals with lower self-esteem, negative mood and depressive symptoms among adolescent girls and women. So if you don't talk to her, it's not that she won't learn. She will -- but you definitely need to be wary of who is doing the teaching. We have come to accept as the norm stories of high school parties that involve binge drinking and hooking up as a way to progress in social status. Yet we claim to be scandalized by articles that paint a highly sexualized portrait of teen behavior on social media. As parents and educators we need to confront our own hang-ups and start getting comfortable talking to our children about their biology, and yes -- even sex. Especially sex. If you allow these topics to be stigmatized in your own home, your child won't tell you what's going on in his or her life. It's not just talk, we also need to be brave about saying no to our children. A mother I know recently told me that her 11-year-old daughter was terribly upset that she wasn't allowed to have an Instagram or ask.fm account. The mom thought the sites inappropriate, but at her daughter's urging she decided to reconsider. She agreed to spend an evening doing research in order to develop a more informed opinion. The next morning they had a talk -- about why she (the mother) hadn't changed her mind. She told her daughter what she had found. Bullying, "creepy" men following her friends on Instagram, as well as some selfies that could easily be described as inappropriate. This family has a particularly open relationship where conversations like this can take place. In many families, kids are online without supervision. Even though parents know they should be more involved, many avoid it for fear of what they might find. If you find something, you'll be forced to confront it and maybe make some unpopular decisions. The fact is we live in an always "on" and very visual society. It's uncomfortable but we need to make sure our daughters know that people are going to start noticing their changing bodies. But she should also know that doesn't mean that her body is the totality of who she is. It's not currency to be traded for social status (both online and off). We can't forget about our boys. Puberty is starting earlier for them too. Just because they won't bleed, doesn't mean they don't deserve education about their changing bodies and the changing bodies of the girls around them. Let's give them the tools to navigate this world in a well-adjusted way. For too long, the narrative has been that these conversations with our kids are taboo. Whoever invented that myth was horribly mistaken. It is human nature to fear what we don't know. The easiest way to combat that fear is to arm ourselves the ample amounts of legitimate information that's out there. As parents, we cannot be afraid of not having all of the answers. That's how the most earnest and effective conversations start. Our kids may be growing up faster than we did, but that doesn't mean we have to be afraid of that growth -- or growing up with them for that matter. Louis CK said it best, "I'm not raising the children, I'm raising the grown ups that they're going to be." Remember that these guys are going to have young ones of their own. You're literally shaping generations to come. Shouldn't we be doing that to the best of our abilities?]]> Your Time of the Month: A Cause for Celebration tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.4115465 2013-10-17T10:54:16-04:00 2014-01-23T18:58:21-05:00 Naama Bloom http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naama-bloom/ As pre-pubescent girls, we wait for this mysterious visitor, hoping we get it before the last of our friends -- a literal marker of adulthood. In our twenties, when many women are sexually active, we pray we get our periods each month because we want confirmation that we're not pregnant. Then we hit our 30s, and many of us are trying to get pregnant. The arrival of our period is fraught with angst -- one more passing month without a pregnancy. Given this constant flux, it's no wonder our relationship with our period is love/hate. As a child, I was what you call a late bloomer. I was tall, gangly and -- most importantly to me at the time -- flat-chested. I thought my period would never come. But lo and behold, it arrived when I was 12 years old. I was neither the first of my friends or the last of them to get it. But I was excited. Though I wouldn't have used these words at the time, it meant that I was developing normally, and so I breathed a sigh of relief. This joy at coming of age quickly turned to complaints once I realized that it came with cramps and the fear of leaking through pads. Those first few years with your period are quite perilous. You are still learning to manage your cycle and you're still not comfortable with your changing body. The worst of it all? You ruin a lot of pairs of underwear because you don't yet know which supplies to use. By the time I went off to college, my period came to be seen more as a hassle that I had to deal with. I still had the cramps, but I knew that if I popped a Midol and wore the right products, I'd get through it. It was just no big deal. But what was incredible about college is that -- at least for me -- it was the first time that I lived among a community of women. Sure, I had gone to summer camp my whole life, but living with other woman once you are one yourself is a remarkable thing. Bonds are formed and -- if you're lucky and comfortable with your body and self -- you get to really learn how the mechanics of your body work. Let me explain a little. In high school, you may complain about cramps and PMS. In college, if you're a lucky (as I was with my community of friends), you can really talk about what's going on -- clumps, cramps that aren't in your abdomen, your sore breasts, all of it. It's during these often graphic conversations that you learn that you're just like everyone else. While in my 30s, I had my two beautiful children. The first was delivered as a C-section and the 2nd was a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section). It wasn't until after the VBAC that I understood that, like with menstruation, recovery from child birth is a mysterious process that no one talks about in detail until you're on the other side. I was shocked by what was going on with my post-delivery body and dismayed that none of my friends had prepared me. As I was sitting on my donut pillow talking on the phone to a friend of mine, I had a realization that as women, we really could do a better job of preparing each other. That's why my company, HelloFlo, is committed to educating girls and encouraging conversations. We should be talking to our daughters early and often about their bodies and their health. Though obviously tongue-in-cheek, the video my company released, Camp Gyno, was a portrayal of what happens when we don't take the time to educate our daughters. They go elsewhere -- and often it's not where we'd like them to get their information. So, moms and dads alike, do me a favor: If you have a daughter, talk to her. Tell her about all the icky details, and also, tell her how lucky she is. It's that monthly visit that will give her the opportunity to have her own baby one day. And then she can be mad at you that you never told her she'd get hemorrhoids. WATCH: Camp Gyno ]]>

Clemson Practice Report Monday
Published: Monday, August 4, 2008 at 10:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 4, 2008 at 10:30 p.m.
Clemson held its fourth straight day of a three-hour practice on Monday on the practice fields behind the Jervey Athletic Center. The Tigers worked in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts. Tuesday the Tigers will be in full pads for the first time.
David Smith, an offensive tackle from Greenville High and Greenville, SC, missed the practice with a toe injury. Smith is competing for a starting guard position with Jamarcus Grant. Wide receiver Xavier Dye was limited in his participation due to a shoulder injury and was dressed in a green jersey.
Two players sustained injuries during the practice. Wide receiver Jacoby Ford suffered a sprained ankle that was not serious. It was not the ankle he broke last year at Maryland. He will miss a couple of days of practice. Freshman tight end Dwayne Allen suffered a lower abdomen injury, but should be back on Tuesday.
Bowden has been pleased with his teams progress so far. We had another good day of practice, said Bowden. It was hot, but we got a lot done. We need to do a better job finishing, because we got a little sloppy the last couple of periods. We are all looking forward to going to full pads tomorrow.
We continue to see the freshman class show they have a chance to make a contribution this year. I have been pleased with all four of our freshman safeties. Spencer Adams has outstanding speed and it is apparent that he can close well on the run and get to the ball when it is in the air. Daniel Andrews, Rashard Hall, and Carlton Lewis have also played well so far.
Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper both ran well today and Brandon Thompson did a good job in the cross over drill from his offensive line position.
Clemson will continue to work every day this week at various times. The team has final exams for summer school on Wednesday, then will start two-a-day practices on Thursday. The team will hold its annual Fan Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium on Sunday at 3:00 PM. Admission is free.

Whether you work for a very large company with thousands of services in production or a small company with only a couple, visibility into the performance and uptime of those services is critical. Before you start investigating the myriad of governance products on the market, many of which will set you back a great deal of money, let me save you some time (and money). You can get up and running in about an hour for chump change with JaxView from Managed Methods and get a firm handle on how your services are performing (or not performing as the case may be). If you've ever worked with SiteScope for website monitoring, you'll recognize the quick time-to-value paradigm of JaxView and for good reason – it is brought to you by some of the same people who built SiteScope. You're going to love JaxView's intuitive user interface and different deployment options, including an agentless option, which will get you started in a flash. Here's what you can expect from JaxView for your modest time and money investment:
- Excellent visibility into client-service interactions
- Monitoring service quality, performance, and usage
- Heartbeat monitoring of services a la SiteScope
- Web services security policy administration and enforcement
- Enforcing automated governance policies in runtime
- Mediation and routing
- Integration with UDDI registries, ESBs, directory services, and databases
- An agentless deployment that is easy to get up and running and manage
- An appliance option that you can truly just plug in to evaluate
JaxView Basics
JaxView requires Windows (XP Pro, 2000 Pro, or 2000 Server), Linux, or Mac OS X. A database is not necessarily required as the file system is used by default to persist monitoring data for 30 days. In case you are monitoring high-volume services, or you need to persist data for more than 30 days or use JaxView's clustering option, a database is required. Supported databases are MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2. On Windows the JaxView server installs as a service and is immediately ready to use as a service proxy gateway. JaxView also has deployment models including an agent-based network sniffer and an ESB connection via JMS. In each of these cases, the central JaxView server receives and persists monitoring data. The management console is hosted on the same server and, once you log in, you see the interface depicted in Figure 1. Web services under management appears in the left pane and can be grouped into folders for convenience. The main frame of the "Services" tab gives you a simple view of the performance and operability (errors, alerts, and faults) for the level of the web services hierarchy (all, folder, or individual service) view that you choose in the left navigation pane. Figure 2 is a summary report of how a service operation is performing. The left nav view is similar to an organizational hierarchy view that would be found in a service registry/repository and, in fact, JaxView has deep and wide integration with UDDI registries – it will gather service and policy metadata from the registry via the UDDI inquiry API as well as update service metadata via the UDDI publication API. Endpoint proxy URLs are automatically published to the service registry once you manage them with the JaxView service gateway, which causes your service consumers to begin using the managed endpoint URL.

Married women suffer fewer problems: Study
A study by St. Michael's Hospital has found married women less likely to suffer from spousal abuse, substance abuse and post-partum depression.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A study by Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital has found pregnant women who are married are less likely to face spousal abuse or to have substance abuse problems or post-partum depression.
Dr. Marcelo Urquia, an epidemiologist at the hospital's Centre for Inner City Health, analyzed data from the 2006/07 Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey, a nationwide sample of 6,421 child-bearing women compiled by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Urquia's study found that 10.6 per cent of married women reported partner abuse, substance abuse or post-partum depression. The figure rose to 20 per cent for women living in common-law relationships and even higher — 35 per cent — for single women. Most dramatically, it rose to 67 per cent for women who were separated or divorced in the year prior to the birth of a child.
The study was published Thursday, Dec. 13, in the American Journal of Public Health.
"We expected to see differences, but not as big," Urquia said.
"One cannot recommend people get married, that is their choice. But what this (study) is showing is that those who commit to marriage may have some characteristics that make them different from others and those characteristics play a protective role for psycho-social well-being," Urquia said.
The study also showed the longer the relationship among the common-law, the better a woman's chances of not suffering abuse by her partner, having a substance abuse problem or having post-partum depression, though they still experienced more problems as opposed to married women, who experienced higher well-being from the beginning of their marriages.
Urquia said the study was motivated by the increasing number of children being born in Canada outside of traditional marriage. The figure is about 30 per cent today, a dramatic increase from 9 per cent in 1971.
A future study of the impact on children of different relationships —marriage, habitation or singlehood — would be beneficial, Urquia said.

Diabetic put her life at risk to lose weight: Mother stopped taking her insulin injections after ballooning to 19 stone
- Hayleigh Juggins put on weight while pregnant with her daughter, Angel
- After the birth she wanted to slim down so stopped taking insulin injections
- The 20-year-old's weight dropped from 19st to 10st 10lbs
- But doctors told her her sight was being damaged and she risked blindness
- So she is now taking the insulin again to ensure she is there for her child
- Experts warn that skipping insulin can cause brain damage or even death
A diabetic mother whose weight ballooned during pregnancy put her life at risk when she stopped taking her insulin medication in a bid to slim down.
Hayleigh Juggins ignored doctors' advice, halting the treatment for her diabetes having blamed the hormone for her weight reaching 19st.
The 20-year-old was diagnosed with type one diabetes when she was 15 years old.
When she fell pregnant three years later, she began taking high doses of insulin, which she claims led to rapid weight gain.
Hayleigh Juggins, 20, is diabetic but she stopped taking insulin after the birth of her daughter, Angel. She hoped this would help her to lose weight after she ballooned to 19st
By the time she gave birth when she was 19, she weighed 19st and was wearing size 22 clothes.
Horrified, she decided to disregard doctors' instructions to take insulin after each meal and subsequently found herself shrinking.
Stable today at 10st 10lb, Miss Juggins says that despite being pleased at gaining her dream figure, she will never again risk serious damage to her health by going against medical advice.
She said: 'There was a war within me - on the one hand I was distraught at having gained so much weight during pregnancy, but on the other I knew what I was doing was bad for me.
Indeed, experts stress that skipping insulin can have devastating consequences, including brain damage and death.
Libby Dowling, Diabetes UK Clinical Advisor, said: 'Skipping insulin to lose weight is extremely dangerous. This is because if you haven't got enough insulin in your body your blood glucose will get too high, which can lead to devastating health complications.
the short term it can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, an extremely
dangerous condition that requires immediate medical attention and
treatment in hospital, and can even be fatal. And in the long term
skipping insulin can lead to complications such as blindness, stroke and
'It is crucial that people who are omitting their insulin are given rapid access to psychological support as they are risking their health and even their life.'
Ms Juggings continued: 'When I was told that I might lose my sight if I didn't take the proper dosages of insulin, I knew I had to start looking after myself again. I wanted to see my little girl grow up.'
Miss Juggins dropped from 19st (left) to 10st 10lbs (right) after she stopped taking her insulin
Weight gain is a common side effect for people who take insulin.
This is because insulin allows glucose to enter the cells and if a person eats more calories than they need to maintain a healthy weight, the cells will get more glucose than they need.
Glucose that is not used by the cells will accumulate as fat.
However, it is perfectly possible for most diabetics to maintain a healthy weight while taking insulin if they are active and watch what they eat.
If a person who has been told to take insulin does not do so, they risk a whole range of complications.
This is because having high glucose levels in the body can damage blood vessels, nerves and organs.
Prolonged spells of high blood sugar levels can cause heart disease, strokes, blindness, kidney disease, foot ulcers, sexual dysfunction and even result in amputations.
Skipping insulin can in severe cases, lead to brain damage or death.

Miss Juggins, a student, struggled with weight gain during her early years, eventually reaching size 22 by the time she was 14.
She said: 'I had a few family problems at home, so I over ate. I relied on sugary things, like cake and sweets, to make me feel better.
'I spent my pocket money on chocolate and snacks and waited until everyone in the house had gone to bed before I took myself to my room and ate the whole stash.'
When she was 15, she began mysteriously losing weight.
She said: 'I had recently been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and was in counselling.
'People assumed I was losing weight because I was happier and less dependent on comfort eating.'
Shortly afterwards she was shocked to be diagnosed with type one diabetes.
She said: 'I kept asking for glasses of water because I was so thirsty. A friend's mother was a nurse and said it was a sign of diabetes.
'Not long after I collapsed on a night out with friends and had to be taken by ambulance to hospital.
'I'd experienced diabetic ketoacidosis, when my body couldn't absorb sugar for fuel. In hospital I was completely delirious - I found out later the doctors told my mum that I could have slipped into a coma.'
Having immediately been diagnosed with diabetes Miss Juggins, of Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, was set on a daily routine of insulin injections which saw her take medicine up to four times a day.
She said: 'I didn't appreciate the seriousness of my diagnosis at first. I didn't want to be diabetic and found the change to my routine difficult.
'I also put on a lot of weight, as a side effect of the insulin, and having been advised to eat a carbohydrate-rich diet.
'I fell into the habit of taking time off insulin when I felt my weight was getting too high, and I found controlling my weight became a lot easier.'
When, aged 18, she became pregnant with her daughter Angel, now two, she was careful to increase her insulin intake to make sure her health was protected.
But shortly after giving birth in May 2012, she realised she had reached 19st and was back to wearing size 22 clothes.
Ms Juggins was told by doctors that she was risking blindness by not taking her insulin injections. As a result, she decided to start taking them as she wanted to ensure she would be there for her daughter, Angel
She said: 'I hadn't realised what state I'd allowed my body to get into. I'd more than doubled my insulin intake, but I didn't realise it would have such an effect on my weight.'
Many patients requiring insulin treatment report weight gain as the anabolic agent aids cells' ability to absorb glucose. If more glucose enters the cells than is used as energy, it accumulates as fat.
Miss Juggins said: 'I decided to continue with one daily dose but discontinued the injections after each meal.
'The doctors had made it quite clear to me that I was insulin dependent. I knew that choosing not to take it was a life-threatening decision.
'But I felt much happier about myself. I could feel that my body chemistry wasn't right, but on the other hand, I was able to relax and felt much more like me as my weight fell away.'
In less than 18 months, Miss Juggins slimmed down to 10st 10lb, and was able to fit into size 10 clothing.
But a routine check-up in January this year was enough to shock her back into resuming her proper dosage.
She said: 'I began signs of diabetic retinopathy. Unless I'm very careful from now onwards, there's a chance I could go blind.
Ms Juggins (pictured with friends since her weight loss) says she now realises her health is more important than her weight so she will continue to take her insulin injections
'It's a relatively simple situation to fix - I'm lucky the complications weren't worse. There might be problems in the future that I don't know about yet, but when I decided to stop taking the full insulin dose, I didn't care.
'The eye exam made me think about Angel. If I lost my sight, I wouldn't be able to see her grow up. The battle in my head came to end.
'I wanted to lose weight- but I wanted to see my little girl more.'
Miss Juggins said she feels sympathy for young people who are diagnosed with diabetes and urged them to educate themselves as much as possible about the effects of the condition and treatment.
She said: 'Don't act like the diagnosis is nothing, like I did. When I was first diagnosed, I felt very alone. I was given all sorts of different leaflets, some of which had very shocking language about how life-changing having diabetes is. It was scary.
'By asking questions I've come to realise that the most important thing is figuring out the best course of action for you. I'm able to control it – it doesn't control me.
'Me and Angel are very close. She's wonderful - very boisterous and energetic. I want to make sure I'm here for her as long as possible.'

Masoli tosses three TDs as Oregon runs over Cal
EUGENE, Ore. -- To Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, taking criticism is part of the job. So is disproving it.
Masoli answered his naysayers by throwing for 253 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon's 42-3 upset of sixth-ranked California on Saturday.
He completed 21 of 25 passes for the Ducks (3-1), who had 524 yards in total offense and buried any resemblance to the Oregon team that fell so dramatically to Boise State in a nationally televised season opener.
"There's always critics -- and it always falls on the quarterback," Masoli said. "You try not to think about it, because nobody on the outside really has anything to do with it."
Tailback Jahvid Best ran for just 55 yards for the Golden Bears (3-1), who had 206 yards in total offense -- less than half their average. Widely considered a top Heisman contender, Best went into the game ranked third in the nation with an average of 137.33 yards on the ground.
It was Cal's most lopsided loss under coach Jeff Tedford -- Oregon's former offensive coordinator -- and worst since 55-14 to USC in 2001.
Oregon tight end Ed Dickson had 11 catches for a career-best 148 yards. He caught all three of Masoli's scoring passes.
"On offense the sky's the limit for us," Masoli said with confidence. "We're the only ones who can hurt us. These last couple of weeks we've been in a funk, but today we moved past that."
Cal scored on Vince D'Amato's 47-yard field goal early after Oregon fumbled on its opening kickoff return.
The Golden Bears would not score again.
Oregon tied it with Morgan Flint's 30-yard field goal. Masoli completed five passes on the scoring drive -- surpassing the four completions he had last weekend in Oregon's 31-24 victory over then-No. 18 Utah.
Despite the win, Masoli was widely criticized for his performance and some fans suggested the Ducks go with backup Nate Costa against Cal. Oregon first-year coach Chip Kelly was steadfast in support of Masoli.
His first touchdown pass of the season was a 26-yard strike to Dickson that opened the second quarter. Masoli then tossed to Flint, who scampered into the end zone for the conversion to put the Ducks up 11-3.
"He proved that he can play," Dickson said of Masoli. "He proved that he can throw the ball."
After D'Amato missed a 43-yard attempt, Oregon pushed its lead to 18-3 on Remene Alston's 1-yard TD dive. LaMichael James ran for a 4-yard touchdown just before halftime to make it 25-3.
James is among a trio of backs to whom Oregon has looked since LeGarrette Blount was suspended for punching a Boise State player in the aftermath of the opener. Blount is out for the season, but he is allowed to practice and this week wore Best's No. 4 jersey on the practice squad.
James finished with 21 carries for 118 yards.
In the third quarter, Dickson caught scoring passes of nine and 36 yards from Masoli as Oregon went up 39-3. Ironically, fans who called for Costa got their wish when Masoli left the game early in the fourth quarter.
Flint added a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
Cal quarterback Kevin Riley, who went to high school in Beaverton, Ore., completed 12 of 31 passes for 123 yards. He was replaced in the fourth quarter by redshirt freshman backup Beau Sweeney.
"He's disappointed, obviously," Tedford said about best. "Everybody is, everybody's disappointed when you don't play well like that when we invest so much time and energy into what's going on. It doesn't feel good."
Last weekend Best tied a Pac-10 record with five rushing touchdowns to lead the Golden Bears to a 35-21 victory at Minnesota, for which he earned Pac-10 player of the week honors.
But Oregon was able to shut him and the rest of Cal's running game down. The Golden Bears had just 77 yards on the ground.
"Everybody kept asking, `What are you going to do about Best?' If he can't get past the line of scrimmage, we have nothing to worry about. That was our mentality," Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. "We were going to come in here and hit him with all we've got. We know we have the talent, the speed, the ability to stop anybody."
Cal was averaging 488.7 yards in total offense going into the game to rank 11th nationally, and gaining 250.33 yards on the ground.
Cal hosts USC next week. Oregon hosts Washington State to conclude a four-game homestand.
The Ducks were wearing throwback uniforms from the late 90s, featuring yellow helmets with an entwined UO.
