I’d love some in time for the holidays.) This video was born on Joanne’s Death of a Pancreas site. Thanks for the laughs, Joanne! *This blog post was originally published at Six Until Me.* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4302126 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 14:00:43 +0100 4302126 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3307029&cid=t_183557_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2010%2F02%2Fteens-with-diabete.html In the past few weeks, the diabetes community has suffered several tragedies in losing young people to diabetes. It is shocking and upsetting when diabetes takes the life of anyone, but somehow more so when it cuts a young life so short.

She had over 6,000 friends on the DiabeticConnect community site. To be honest, I didn’t know much about her other than the tips and questions she posted very regularly.  Still, it’s the oddest (and saddest) sensation when any [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3220694 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:00:57 +0100 3220694 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1455503&cid=t_183557_134_f&fid=36985&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fsugarstats%2F%7E3%2F285539938%2F FDA study: Insulin pumps linked to injuries, deaths in teens Via News.Yahoo.com According to investigations by the FDA they might be.

As deaths from heart diseases decline, men with diabetes are also suffering fewer fatal cardiovascular events. But death rates among women with diabetes -- at least up until the year 2000 -- appear to be holding steady. Recent studies don't pinpoint a clear reason, but Dr. Nanette Wegner, a cardiologist, believes the reason may be that women's heart issues are not treated as aggressively as men's. The good news is that greater priority has been placed on women's heart health over the last few years and awareness of women's unique heart issues is improving. There's evidence to suggest that sin... The Cardio Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=686995 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:00:00 +0100 686995
