Oh yes, there is definitely room for humor in this (still chuckling over your very funny first post :-).
I'll keep checking in...
I read your t-shirt post about 10 minutes ago and I'm still laughing. I am definitely buying myself one of those - so thanks!

If this sounds like Chinese, it is a bit... :)
If you want to give it a shot, let me know and I can give u the last few pointers you'd need.
Hope you dig this!
I have an update for you. The folks at Ning.com (the platform on which TuDiabetes runs) are working on many updates, one of which is a New Activity Dashboard, for seeing all the latest activity among your friends.
I thought you'd be happy about this! :)
I think a few quotes from several prominent diabetes authorities substantiate my thoughts on this issue.
In the words of Dr. C. Ronald Kahn, MD, President and Director Joslin Diabetes Center and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School as published in "Conquering Diabetes: A Strategic Plan for the 21st Century" full report from the Congressionally-appointed Diabetes Working Group, 1999", page 27):
"Genetic engineering of the insulin molecule and new methods of delivery have improved insulin therapy, but in essence, the treatment for Type 1 diabetes has changed little since insulin was discovered."
Another quote, this one from Dr. Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., former Director National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Recent Devlopments in Research on Type 1 Diabetes before the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs on June 21, 2005:
"Insulin therapy, via daily injections or a pump, is a poor substitute for the body's exquisitely precise regulation of blood glucose by insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells."
