I bet he got pretty close though.  Friends, fun, relationships, the greater good, and the sense that we can influence change. I personally felt that this, our third summit, was the best yet.   Nurturing relationships is part of what makes these in-person meetings important.  But as a group, it seems that we were better prepared to handle the excitement of seeing each other in person again, and didn’t let that get in the way of  a productive summit. For the most part, the group was all about figuring out how to make change happen.  I could feel it in the room, and I loved it.  We are starting to trust R...

The film is a poignant window into the Life For a Child program, which delivers insulin and other services to kids in many of the world's poorest countries. How important is this program? There's no way to sugarcoat this. Without the Life For a Child program, these kids would be dead. It's that important. So if the film or these interviews touch you, please learn more about the program and donate. Today I'm posting a follow-up interview with Don Faller, a producer who was on the ground in Nepal for the filming. Our conversation covers:What it's really like to have diabetes in one of the world's poorest country Touching and inspiring backstories on the kids in the filmWhat we can do to help t...

Somehow the conclusion of that sugar-fest seems a great segue into National Diabetes Awareness Month, no? And the countdown begins to World Diabetes Day on Nov. 14, 2009.

While I will be voting for Mr. Obama, frankly, I cannot wait to see this campaign end, because the news doesn't seem to cover much else these days (which is why I listen to NPR news coverage, but even they cannot avoid the election). But I'd like to ask you to consider something else: signing a petition for a "Google Doodle" to commemorate World Diabetes Day on November 14. If you look over to the links on the right side of my blog, you will see a logo with a link to the petition. Just click on that (or the word "petit...

The film will later be available online at the Life for a Child website (see the bottom of the page for details on where).The documentary film, produced by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company to raise awareness of the devastating impact of diabetes in the developing world, is being screened at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival in New York from April 23 - May 4. The film, directed by Academy Award nominee Edward Lachman, has been selected to compete for the honor of Best Short Documentary. It follows the journeys of childr...

Since then, the community has grown substantially, creating an online community of hundreds (maybe even a thousand or more?) of us. World Diabetes Day is "celebrated" on Banting's birthday. I say "celebrate" because in spite of progress, this is really not a day anyone should celebrate (I certainly don't), as its a chronic disease that requires ongoing and expensive maintenence tools. Diabetes sucks, there's no better way of stating the obvious, and treatment has improved slightly, but its arguably the most challenging chronic condition to try and manage, and the new tools frankly haven't made life dramatically easier because we are tasked with trying to rep...
