For example, the prevalence of adult acquired diabetes has been rising in the United States, in concert with increasing rates obesity. The CDC has termed it an “epidemic,” especially in light of the massive costs incurred by the healthcare system due to diabetes.

Let's look at the concept of communities and 'personal' portability first.More than 70% of the 100,000 people tracked (secretly) via this study of cell phone usage never ventured more than 20 miles from their home turf.That is an astonishing figure.If almost 2/3rds of us stay within 20 minutes of home, local hospitals still have the opportunity to be concrete care monopolies, acting as 'medical homes' for a vast ...

Amy's efforts are a great example of how blogs can be used to creatively share valuable information with a patient community.Here is a taste of the article and how Amy got started,I've been writing my Web site for three years now, and some amazing things have happened. First, I learned all sorts of facts about my own health that doctors never told me. I learned that thousands of other people out there have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes later in life, like me—a condition called LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults). From other patients I also learned essential basics about related conditions, like gluten intolerance (celiac disease), and Raynaud's syndrome, a circulation disorder in t...

Here is her post, Diabetes Mine: World Diabetes Day Agenda Grows, and Grows...On November 14 landmarks around the world (including the Empire State Building) will be lighting up using the color of the World Diabetes Day logo.Why don't we light up something in West Virginia to show support?

Nah, not Kermit the Frog. It's the Renew Lancing System. I was just checking out Amy T's review of this and other cool/interesting new diabetes-related gadgetry on her site, Diabetes Mine.The Renew Advanced Lancing System: it's sleek, small, and in cool colors - retro lime green and silver. But the name! "Renew Advanced Lancing System" - jeepers, couldn't they have thought of something a little catchier?? Anyway, it's a handy little self-contained, disposable lancing unit that contains twenty needles. Don't bother checking out the website, 'cause there's no info on there yet.
