Erin is a school nurse in the “cash strapped state of California.”  Her position covers two elementary schools and a middle school – almost 2000 students!!  She has been blogging since last year and her blog has definitely become one of my favorites. She says she was never too set on working in a hospital.  After nursing school, she worked at a couple of summer camps, which gave her the idea to look into being a school nurse. She was hired right away and “leapt in without a second thought.”  She is starting her second year in this position. Erin’s daily schedule is quite varied: (more…) *This blog post was originall...

Many studies have found a strong link between watching TV and obesity, but this is the first study to show a link between TV and blood pressure in obese children and teens, the researchers wrote.Obesity in children is on the rise, increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Moreover, high blood pressure in children has...

He didn't develop diabetes in his childhood, but in his late 30's. It is a difficult and challenging disease to live with, one that requires a great amount of discipline as far as eating, and keeping track of sugar levels, but for many who do not inherit the disease, lack of discipline is the cause.Children are going to be our next victims of this disease, and in record numbers, if we aren't careful to teach them, and be examples for the.

A painting exhibition in Qatar will open at the Qatar National Theatre tomorrow night. The painter is Sheikha Mozah bint Jassim, a noted Qatari painter, who said it was her “long-cherished desire to do something for children living with diabetes in Qatar. She called on all kind-hearted people in the country to visit the exhibition and support this cause.” ~source About 25 paintings will be on display.

I asked if I could check her bloodsugar- after all I am a nurse and a diabetic right? She of course ran in the other direction screaming no. She sucked down 3 glasses of water and got on the school bus and all was well until mid day. I received a phone message from the school nurse.  ‘Ms. James, no urgency but could you please call us back, we have K in the nurse office”. I called back and the nurse wanted to know if she had missed something on the health form since K had come to her office and said, “My belly and head hurts and I am thirsty and my Mom thinks I am a diabetic”!...

It was established as a result of a resolution passed last December by the General Assembly of the UN. The idea behind the Day is to increase visibility of diabetes world-wide.  Hopefully this will lead to better funding, more research, public education, and other resources being applied to the condition.The focus of this year’s World Diabetes Day campaign is diabetes in children and adolescents. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic disease of childhood. Children and teens can develop Type 1 diabetes – an autoimmune disorder in which the insulin producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed – or they can develop Type 2 diabetes – a condit...

My lil’ one had surgery last Friday and she is having a very tough time. It seems that she has developed an infection at her surgery site, throat and nose. She is only 5, she has been such a trooper though! They changed her antibiotics around and drew some blood to double check that nothing went systemic, which I am sure it didn’t, but I feel so darn bad for my lil’ girl! I am hoping that life gets back to normal soon. I feel like it is always something! But I think with the new meds on board, we should turn the corner soon. So… I should be back in top form in the next day or so. Unfortunately, when you work and have kids something has t...

As noted in today’s Newsday, researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association have found that one of the medications, GlaxoSmithKline’s “controversial diabetes drug” Avandia, appears to raise patients’ risk of heart risk. The Wall Street Journal has the full story about the study on Avandia, and also another study on Actos, made by Takeda Pharmeceutical Company, which suggests that this medication is safer on the heart. Nonetheless, both medications carry the Food and Drug Administration’s toughest warning. Notes Newsday: Dr. Sonal Singh, who led one of the studies reported today, said bot...

I saw the headline and immediately envisioned that scene in The Poltergeist -- the infamous horror movie from the 80s. The study looked at 538 children with an average age of 13 who were affected by Type-1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused when the body cannot make insulin, which converts sugar from food into energy. The study's authors say encouraging children with Type-1 diabetes to watch less television may play an crucial role for improving blood sugar control and better health overall.
