Here's real article -- I was interviewed for this back before World Diabetes day but they decided to save it for a later time, since they were focusing on children and mostly Type 1 at the time.
When Kathleen Weaver got her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis five years ago, she started the fight of her life. The disease that took her father wasn't about to get the best of her.
I'm in the Dallas Morning News, not a great thing when you work for Dallas ISD, but at least it's about blogging and not school ...
But even blogger Kathleen Weaver, a diabetes patient, admits that the Internet can take her only so far.
"If it's a real question and I'm really worried about it, I e-mail my doctor first," she says. "I have a really good endocrinologist who e-mails back."
In a way, I 'm glad I just got a bottle, because I don't have to make a decision yet. However, I did get charged $62.50. My problem with the previous OTC allergy medications, is that you either could't get it without the "D", which messes with my blood pressure, OR you couldn't get the strength you could prescription wise.
Looks like if I buy from Drugstore.doc it will be 56.97, and if I go with Medco, it's either 25.99 for 100 tables of the generic or 90 tables for 38.99, but that is with a $15 coupon. So it's 52.99 regular press. The good news, is that medco's shipping is free, so I'll probably go that route, but now I have to remember to order it.
However, I did add it as a task in outlook so hopefully I'll see it and remember.

I knew that it was complicated!
An explosion of new research is vastly changing scientists’ understanding of diabetes and giving new clues about how to attack it.
Great article -- and enough some information on Fitness4Diabetics
Today athletes with Type 1 diabetes are blasting out of the starting gate in full force. Because of new technology, the emergence of companies that help them manage their illness, the rise of successful role models and sheer determination, they are running marathons, doing 100-mile bike rides, completing Ironmen — many with their doctor’s blessing.
I would have not known about this at all, if it hadn't been for another blogger.

Not sure how I feel about it.
Diabetes In Control - Living Well with Diabetes without Weight Loss
Being more physically active is all well and good but what if you ARE more physically active and you can get more that way because of the stinking diabetes?
New Devices May Free Diabetics From Constant Monitoring
The technique she's helping test is called continuous glucose monitoring, and it's a goal researchers have chased for nearly 50 years.
Though from my research, I'm wondering if Animas was right -- that an implant in the blood stream will work infinitely better than intrestatial fluid (too tired to look up the spelling).

Students abandoned classes at Sunset and Molina high schools and the Townview Magnet Center. Many assembled around 11 a.m. at Kiest Park to rally against the legislation.
And I'm thrilled as he as come up with a way the students can participate in an approved way. We're going to show them how to write letters to their congressman (we can have a debate instead), and give them time to get it started.
