Phil was concerned that the mainstream media coverage of Freeman’s challenges [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3350482 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:00:51 +0100 3350482 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3092880&cid=t_119463_134_f&fid=35187&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDiabetesDaily%2F%7E3%2FIsJ3Xzrg_08%2Fwhats-that-thing-on-your-arm.php Yesterday I didn't get into the gym until around 8:30 PM.  I had been in the car all day.  As I was getting close to the gym I started really feeling excited about lifting weights (I know, weird, right?).  I felt strong, and I was probably just feeling pretty antsy from being cooped up in my car all day.  My blood sugar was in the low 200's, which is not where I wanted it.  I had some insulin working from a bit ago, and was a bit worried about dropping too much while exercising.  Well, sure enough, after warming up and doing about half of my workout, I was dropping fast.  I had my Navigator CGM with me and was watching the action on the screen.  Not too long after I hit 120 mg/dl with a straight down arrow, I knew I had to stop and get some glucose i...

He has achieved what many thought impossible: creating a team of competitive cyclists with type 1 diabetes on track to become world-class.  His efforts in recruiting athletes for Team Type 1, finding pharmaceutical sponsors, training like a maniac, [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2325193 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:00:20 +0100 2325193 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2297358&cid=t_119463_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2009%2F03%2Fabbott-freestyle-test-strips-recall.html Yesterday we received a letter from Abbott Diabetes Care via certified mail. My husband even had to sign for it. What could it be? Did I win a prize? Owe them money? Were they offering me a job? BEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP… none of the above. It appears that several batches of FreeStyle [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2297358 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:28:27 +0100 2297358 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1640357&cid=t_119463_134_f&fid=36049&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FDiabetesNotes%2F%7E3%2F341028891%2F As you have learned over the last 18 months or so I am always up for a new glucometer. My Mom gave me one of her new ones- she has more glucometers… Thanks Mom! The Freestyle Freedom Lite is small and very lite in weight and easy to use. I do like that it has the option of having a 7, 14 or 30 day average and the fact that it is smaller in size. The only draw back is that I did get used to the Breeze having the strips contained within the meter and this goes back to placing them manually in the glucometer. But it is fast! And I mean fast- like 2 seconds fast. That is nice. Does anyone use this and have any thoughts? Any tips or advice that goes along with this meter? Thanks Barb!

Yesterday, it was finally announced that scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have initiated a phase 1 clinical trial to reverse type 1 diabetes. The ClinicalTrial.gov posted a trial announcement looking for people to participate in the first phase clinical trial."We are pleased to be starting human clinical trials," said Dr. Faustman. "Human trials take time, but we are making the step from curing diabetes in mice to determining whether it will work in men and women with diabetes."Certainly, an army of pe...

Fortunately, her work does not involve any diabetes products, but I have to say that this woman really does very little to even get to know her target audience, which goes a long way towards explaining the advertisements we see today for blood glucose testing supplies. Without a doubt, the least credible one is fo... Scott's Web Log blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=620342 Wed, 16 May 2007 15:20:00 +0100 620342
