Please visit my diabetes blog to learn more about diabetes technology and developments

I continue working on a Diabetes Search Engine built with Google technology. It now searches over 1,300 sites all about diabetes. This include 340 diabetes blogs, and over 85 sites selling diabetes products. I donate the advertising revenue to support Dr. Denise Faustman's research into a type 1 cure.

Please try it out and let me know if you find it useful. And if you know of a diabetes site that you don't find in the search engine, I'd love to know about it.

Oh that sounds exciting - camping is always great fun + the kids will love it! Not much rain here lately - we got about 5 sunny days with blue skies over the June bank holiday!! So I was practically camped out in the back garden to celebrate this rare event !! Enjoy your holiday - + dont forget the tent !

Hello Bernard! Hopefully when you have more info up about your 2nd Annual New England Diabetes Meetup I'll be able to give an answer. Also, I have a few friends out in the Boston area - who are diabetics - so they might be interested in coming. A good excuse for me to give my motorcycle out for a run to clear out the cobwebs!
