Intro
I do, Diabetes.
Giving (a little) hope for a cure…
Exciting news that will encourage stem cell research in the USA! Let’s hope that the possibility of government funding for stem cell research will bring us steps closer to a cure… Wouldn’t it be GREAT “to spur insulin production and spare a child from a lifetime of needles…” (and to spare adults too!!). I’m realistic and not expecting [...]
Thank you Dr. Banting and Best!!

Their discovery truly changed the future of many people living with diabetes (more specifically, gave them a future). There is a good summary of the discovery of insulin here. When [...]

Forgetfulness + diabetes = ???

I do have a 4 yr old son too.....
Thanks and I'll join tomorrow.....
Thankyou for bieng so friendly
I've recently started using a pump, the MinimedParadigm to try to get my HbA1c down below 7 'cos we also would like to have a baby soon. Was it easy for you to go down on the A1 with the pump? I think on a day to day I can see my sugars a bit better controlled, but I wonder what my A1 will be on my next appointment!
