Karen Talmadge is has a PhD in biochemistry from Harvard.  She's currently the executive VP, co-founder, and chief science officer of Kyphon (orthopedic), which was purchased last year by Medtronic for $4 billion.  But first and foremost, she's the mother of a daughter who's had Type 1 diabetes since the age of two.  This, she says, is what fuels her passionate work as an... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/27143/mother-entrepreneur http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/27132/diabetic-moms Tue May 06 14:35:00 -0400 2008 Amy Tenderich Republished with approval from DiabetesMine.com.   Now here's a study near and dear to my heart: just this morning, Kaiser Permanente released results of the largest study ever to examine trends in diabetes and pregnancy.  They looked at both pre-pregnancy Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as well as gestational diabetes (GDM) in thousands of women who gave birth in 11 Kaiser Permanente hospitals in Southern California between 1999... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/27132/diabetic-moms http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/26700/annual-diabetesmine Thu May 01 15:43:00 -0400 2008 Amy Tenderich *a competition designed to foster innovation in diabetes design and encourage creative new tools that will improve life with diabetes*     Whether you're a pharma R&D pro, an independent engineer, a design student or an enterprising patient, we want to hear from you. we are accepting submissions in two categories: ages 18 and under, and over age 18.     This is a very exciting YouTube-based contest co-hosted by... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/26700/annual-diabetesmine http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/15736/mr-book-big-pompoms Thu Dec 20 16:54:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich It's only 110 pages. I read it on the plane on the way home from St. Louis. It's an "exercise prescription" to prevent Type 2 and combat Type 1 diabetes. It's The Diabetes Antidote from Mr. Natural Universe Doug Burns, with Denny Dressman (he's the journalist who helped NFL star Jay Leeuwenberg write Yes I Can! Yes You Can! -- a review for another day).   This little book from Mr. Big Type 1 is a like a field... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/15736/mr-book-big-pompoms http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/17847/diabetes-education Fri Dec 14 17:35:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with approval from DiabetesMine.com.   Last summer I attended the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO. I went there, as usual, to learn as much about the diabetes community and industry as I possibly can. I also went there armed with a writing assignment for Diabetes Health magazine. I thought I'd compose an article on "Educating the Educators," all about how CDEs get trained to... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/17847/diabetes-education http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16010/rx-otc-super-scary Wed Dec 12 10:04:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with approval from DiabetesMine.com.  Another interesting development apropos to recent rants on lowering medical costs, in part by breaking down some traditional delivery mechanisms in favor of a more quick-shop, commercial approach to healthcare: now the FDA plans "to expand the the middle ground between drugs that require a prescription and those that anyone can buy off the shelf." This new gray area for... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16010/rx-otc-super-scary http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16012/la-times-joins-club Thu Dec 06 11:46:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with permission from DiabetesMine.com  When I first arrived in Germany in the middle of winter about 18 years ago (ahem...), I immediately caught a bad cold. Every time I sneezed, my brother-in-law's girlfriend would bark, "Health!" It took us a while to work out that Americans say the same thing, only in German. And maybe a little less like a command. Anyway, we had a good laugh. In recent years,... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16012/la-times-joins-club http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16014/sex-um-illness Tue Nov 27 17:47:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with permission from DiabetesMine.com.  What do you talk about at the dinner table?  I discovered years ago that Europeans don't generally have issues discussing the three topics we Americans consider taboo: politics, religion, and sex. My friends in Germany would say, "What else is there?" Well, illness for one thing...  Interestingly, a new national survey from a company called Evercare... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16014/sex-um-illness http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16015/find-happy-place Sun Nov 25 16:00:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with permission from DiabetesMine.com  Having practically grown up in Disneyland, it definitely feels like going home. Except it seems a lot smaller, and a LOT more crowded, than I remember. Anyway, for a good 60% at least of our two-day annual park schlep last week, it lived up to it's motto, "The Happiest Place on Earth." Some memorable moments this year: * Pulling into my mom's garage to be... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16015/find-happy-place http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16017/top-secret-pill Tue Nov 13 12:14:00 -0500 2007 Amy Tenderich Republished with permission from DiabetesMine.com.  I had the most absurdly frustrating phone briefing yesterday with a company developing a very promising new technology for delivering insulin in an oral gel cap: Oramed Pharmaceuticals based in Jerusalem, Israel.  Oddly, I was contacted by their PR/Investor Relations firm with the express purpose of "getting the word out to the public," but trying to pry any of... http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/84/16017/top-secret-pill
