Insulin Injections and Buzzy the Bee®: Working Together to Alleviate Pain

Today I write about practical matters: the association of pain with multiple daily injections, especially in young children, toddlers, and infants.

Avandia Again?

I’ve written about the diabetes drug Avandia a dozen times already, but once again, this zombie drug has arisen from the near-dead to haunt the world of diabetes. This time it’s the FDA who breathed life into the drug, convening another Advisory Committee (AdCom) meeting earlier this month to review the manufacturer’s latest... Read moreChevron

Timing is Everything

I’ve had very similar experiences twice in the last few nights, so hopefully I’ve learned my lesson.  Here’s what happened: on both occasions, I tested my blood right before getting the kids to bed (a bit late now that it’s summer and light out so long!) around 8:30 p.m.  My blood sugar was on the higher end: 198... Read moreChevron

Traveling With Diabetes

I just returned from 2 weeks on a goat farm in Provence, France, and during this time, managing my diabetes was not a big problem.   For anyone on a low-carb diet, France is a good choice for a vacation, because the French are not fat-phobic as so many Americans are.
