There was a story in the Washington Post a few weeks back that started with this paragraph: “People, and especially men, hate being alone with their thoughts so much that they’d rather be in pain. In a study published in Science Thursday on the ability of people to let their minds “wander” — that is, for them to sit and do nothing but think — researchers found that about a quarter of women and two-thirds of men chose electric shocks over their own company.”.
'Throughout July, we’re featuring excerpts from Ginger Vieira’s new book, Dealing with Diabetes Burnout. In this final edited excerpt from the book, the longtime life coach and diabetes advocate shares the lessons she’s learned from years of exercise with Type 1 diabetes. There is no doubt that exercising with diabetes is about one million times more challenging than exercising without diabetes, particularly if you take insulin.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America. One out of four adults has two or more chronic diseases. One in three children is overweight or obese. Projections are that by 2050, one third of Americans will have diabetes. These are America’s proverbial ball and chain: lifestyle-driven afflictions that are driving our healthcare spending through the roof, but which can be treated early, mitigated, and in some cases prevented altogether.
Minnesota needs 850 more primary care physicians by 2020, a report released last week by the Minnesota Hospital Association says. The shortage of doctors in Idaho is getting dire. The government is projecting a nationwide shortage of 20,400 primary care physicians by 2020. With healthcare reform increasing the patient pool, the U.S. healthcare community must embrace virtual care to meet these challenges.

Misuse and abuse of opioids has grown to be a serious public health concern about addiction, overdose, and death. REMS-compliant training is a critical component of the ER/LA Opioid Analgesics REMS program. On July 9, 2012, the FDA approved a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for extended-release (ER) and long-acting (LA) opioid medications.
So a bit of a lapse in posts for me as I spent a luxurious few weeks vacationing. It’s amazing how fast that buzz can wear off as the world shoots you out of a cannon and back into your desk chair. I figured I would ease back into the blog with something light-hearted, so today I bring you the first installment of Digital Health: What the Hell? This intermittent but ongoing series will highlight so-called digital health products that are actually real but which, at least in my personal opinion,

'Stephanie Savarence, a 31-year-old mom of two, says she discovered insulin’s weight loss potential by accident. As a busy new mom, Stephanie started forgetting some of her injections and noticed her baby weight dropping quickly. After the healthy birth of her second baby, Stephanie says she immediately went back to those old habits. “I was the skinniest I had ever been in my adult life, and was constantly being told how great I looked,” she says.
'Throughout July, we’re featuring excerpts from Ginger Vieira’s new book, Dealing with Diabetes Burnout. In this second of four excerpts being featured, Vieira argues small daily victories in daily diabetes care are better than shooting for being a perfect person with diabetes. Have you ever decided you’re suddenly going to do everything you’re “supposed to do” in diabetes management—like counting carbohydrates, taking your medications and insulin whenever you’re supposed to, checking your blood
'In June 2014, JDRF UK supporters broke a record for the most people with Type 1 diabetes on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The hike was part of an effort to raise awareness and funds for JDRF cure research. British Type 1 diabetes athlete Paul Coker was a member of that group. Insulin Nation interviewed him about his experience: IN: How did the climb go?
Payroll compliance is a cornerstone of business success, yet for small and midsize businesses, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of federal, state, and local regulations.

Do you tell your co-workers about your Type 1 diabetes? Why or why not?

'Each day, my scientific team runs through dozens of scientific studies on Type 1 diabetes. It’s important to deduce what hasn’t panned out and why. We recently reviewed a Bench-to-Clinic Symposium on many of the immunotherapy trials used in man for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes; the goal of such an examination is to figure out the steps needed to take a new treatment from the experimental stage to everyday use.
'There are two things that are a big part of Erin Spineto’s life: outdoor adventure and Type 1 diabetes. She works hard to make sure her love for the former outweighs her fear of the latter. In recent years, Spineto has committed to outdoor adventure partly to prove that people with Type 1 diabetes need not have limits. That’s what drove the California resident to run triathlons and sail solo around Key West in Florida, and it’s what made her decide more recently to organize a T1D relay swim tea

'Every year, the U.S News and World Report ranks U.S. hospitals for best practices. Editors rank the hospitals based on surveys from the American Hospital Association and other medical organizations, patient feedback, and medical outcomes. Earlier, the publication released its 2014 rankings for the best children’s hospitals for treating Type 1 diabetes.
'Throughout July, we’re featuring excerpts from Ginger Vieira’s new book, Dealing with Diabetes Burnout. In this third of four edited excerpts from the book, the longtime life coach and diabetes advocate suggests simple fixes to get more from your next doctor’s appointment. We need doctors (or nurse practitioners or certified diabetes educators) who are able to treat us like human beings rather than just patients with diabetes.
'It can be difficult for young children with Type 1 diabetes to understand why their daily routines involve multiple pricks and injections, but now there’s a new toy to help. Jerry the Bear gives young children with Type 1 a companion in coping with diabetes. The stuffed animal is an interactive tool to help young children understand Type 1 diabetes self-care.
'Chris Stiehl has the distinction of being the first human ever to receive an islet cells transplant via an outpatient endoscopy.

'Easier Pen Dosing. Novo Nordisk is officially rolling out its Levemir FlexTouch , an insulin pen which they believe will make dosing easier. The drug company thinks the FlexTouch will be a better mousetrap because its dosing push button doesn’t extend. In theory, this means it would require the same amount of force to dial up a large dose of insulin as it would a small dose.
'Endos Wanted. Wait times to see an endocrinologist might grow in the next decade, according to researchers from the Endocrine Society. In the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism , researchers predict there will be a shortage of endocrinologists for the next decade, that is unless the number of new endocrinologists grows by 14% every year.
'An Insulin Cocktail? A group of European health regulators have recommended the approval of a drug treatment that combines long-lasting insulin with a drug that promotes insulin secretion. The combo drug would combine Novo Nordisk’s long-acting insulin and its insulin-promoting GLP-1 drug into a new product that would be called Xultophy, according to Fierce Biotech.

'The following is an edited excerpt from the book Don’t Double Bread the Fish, a Tale of Failure, Persistence, and Finding Success: I will never forget my son’s first preschool Halloween party. He decided to dress up as Darth Vader. The costume was a baggy black plastic get-up with a hard plastic mask. The mask only had a front with razor-sharp edges, and the back has a tight rubber band attached by the world’s weakest staple.
'Tom Karlya and Tim Brand. Somehow we made it. We planned, we saved, we applied for scholarships, and all that work payed off when we arrived at the Children With Diabetes 2014 Friends For Life Conference in Orlando, Florida. We drove some 1200 miles with a baby, a pre-teen, and 2 girls with Type 1 diabetes to get to this four-day event, and it was all worth it.
'Commentary. I want to talk to you about some Type 2 diabetes news…wait, wait! Don’t leave! This might concern you, too. In our latest tech roundup , we mentioned a study which found that people with Type 2 diabetes did better on pump therapy than multiple daily injections. This is not ground-breaking news, I know; pump therapy almost always performs better for people with diabetes.

Clark es una contratista independiente, que ha tenido problemas para encontrar seguros de salud que cubran los costos de la insulina que necesita para el manejo de su diabetes tipo 1. Desde el 2012, se ha dado cuenta que el precio que tiene que pagar, de su propio bolsillo, ha aumentado vertiginosamente; ha sido un incremento tan grande que incluso el farmacéutico paus

Una noche de sueño se vuelve aún más incierta y arriesgada, dado el hecho de que dos de mis hijas tienen diabetes T1. Mi esposa y yo somos de las raras parejas que se van a la cama con dos medidores continuos de glucosa (MCG) a su alcance, ya que mis dos chicas utilizan la bomba de insulina OmniPod y el MCG Dexcom G4.
