They look for one approach to work with all stressors in all situations at all times. But realistically you can’t rely on one technique. For instance, diaphragmatic breathing is an effective stress reliever but you might not want to use it in a certain situation because you’re feeling self-conscious and don’t want to bring attention to yourself, he said. Similarly, while Blonna is a big believer in meditation, he said it doesn’t work if you’re stuck in traffic, since it’s dangerous to close your eyes. Instead, “What we need is a toolbox that’s full of techniques tha...

The medical students either advance to the next level or become sho’ nuff and bonified doctors — albeit uncertified and untrained — but doctors nonetheless. The interns exit the novice stage and become residents — one week asking someone senior what to do, the next telling someone junior what to do. And of course, the senior residents and fellows finally get the stamp of approval that officially releases them from the nest. It’s kind of bittersweet for folks like me — the surrogate mommies and daddies that helped guide them along this path to becoming full-fledged physicians. (more&#...

Carol Rivers, M.D. died last week following a cardiac procedure. Carol was an outstanding clinician and educator, and one of the founders of modern emergency medicine as we’re fortunate to know it today. Carol was perhaps best known for her board preparation guides, which helped many a terrified physician to navigate his or her emergency medicine board exams. I know her expertise helped me when I took my first American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) exam.

Preventing high blood sugar is key because it gives diabetics the flexibility to eat what choose their foods, and it increases their sense of control when managing diabetes. After a few attempts, most diabetics gain confidence as they measure the sugars and starches that they put into their bodies. To learn how to count carbs, find a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator. Both have experience teaching diabetics about how to manage their diet.

But believe me, as a person with diabetes (and gluten intolerance), I struggle with them all the time. We PWDs are used to hearing the “generic” nutritional suggestions from our dietitians and CDEs: don’t eat too much sugar, eat lots of veggies, drink water, etc. But what about [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3534042 Wed, 05 May 2010 13:00:32 +0100 3534042 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3420704&cid=t_256363_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2010%2F03%2Fbasalbolus-mix-and-match.html I just knew that working with expert CDE Gary Scheiner was going to be eye-opening.

You know, providing information that clearly shows that government schools are not the foundation of American democracy, or itemizing programs to show that school choice is not a political failure. That sort of thing. Well, a new study in the journal Education Next demonstrates why just getting people solid information is so important: When the public has just a few basic facts about such things as public school expenditures or teacher salaries, support for heaping more dough on our sinkhole public schools takes a pretty big dip. On spending, investigators William G. Howell and Martin R. West found that people provided with actual per-pupil expenditure ...

You can vote for the Diabetic Educator of the Year. Head on over to the ADW website before March 20th, 2009 and register your choice. There is information on each one of the contestants. Winners will be announced on May 1st.
