I don't have time this evening to re-cap all of what was covered at the Conference, but I can tell you that the presentations (as always) were very interesting. Another take-away is that the presentations were recorded on video, and the DRI expects to have some (if not all) of them available online for those who were unable to attend in the not-too-distant future. After the Conference, a number of the bloggers (though certainly not all) responsible for some of the content presented gathered for a photo-op, and some of us then went to dinner. I got to meet a few of the bloggers who I hadn't met in-person before, as well...

With that said, I'll get the not-so-pleasant news out of the way first. Researchers at Duke University have reported that even doses within the U.S. FDA's "Acceptable Daily Intake" of the artificial sweetener sold under the brand name Splenda (known generically as sucralose) may damage gut bacteria and boost weight gain. Keep this in mind: for my entire life, artificial sweeteners ranging from saccharin causing cancer (later proven wrong) to aspartame claimed to destroy amino acid sequencing (numerous studies have since p...

Even though I was sort of weirded out about trekking all the way down to Philly to go out to Applebee's, it turns out we just about had the place to ourselves and the company more than made up for a chain restaurant! Although I planned to visit Marrakesh since I'd been there with a group of friends when I lived down there and it is one of my favorite restaurants there (especially for a group), I wasn't sure anyone else would want to go, but it turns out most of the group decided to re-convene later in the day at this South Street restaurant (well, a side street away) which was featured in Real World Philadelphia (I discovered it a few years before that show aired, incidentally), and we had ...

But recently, those three drug makers turned around and laid off employees in the Garden State.Unfortunately, New Jersey is hardly alone in the largess extended to the drug industry only to be screwed by the industry while company executives ran away with boatloads of stock options, cash and other perks. Yesterday, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company announced that the company would be eliminating 500 jobs in its hometown of Indianapolis. Those Indiana jobs would primarily impact affect sites that manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients fo...

I should note that this is a compilation of input from a number of DTF members, most notably a member who himself has type 1, as well as his wife who is fellow diabetes blogger based in Virginia and g...
