'There’s a sleepy tempo that often accompanies evening fundraisers for good causes. Attendees use up their social energy during the cocktail hour and begin to lose steam as the long work day catches up with them. Once the lights dim and the speeches begin, eyelids grow heavy. This was the pleasant way a recent JDRF New England event was progressing until Thomas Brobson took the floor and began to talk about advances in artificial pancreas technology.
Case Western Reserve University has an annual research day called Research ShowCase. I was privileged to be on the Program Board, chaired by Pete Zimmerman, Ph.D. Being both a former poster presenter and an Case alumni, made the event more meaningful. The event included hundreds of posters from post-docs, graduate students, undergrads and even high school students.
By Dr. Peter Antall. If you follow the latest developments in health care, you may have noticed: telehealth has taken off. Our country is focused on making health care more accessible for Americans, and naturally, telehealth has emerged as a key innovation that can help to make this a reality. It’s an effective way to deliver evidence-based medicine – and it’s something that we as physicians can embrace right now.
Yesterday, Grand Rounds , a San Francisco-based startup that makes an “outcomes management platform” for large employer groups, introduced Office Visits , an online service that helps consumers find “quality” physicians close to home. I’ve long been skeptical of any claims of healthcare quality or any listing of “best” physicians or hospitals, so I invited Grand Rounds co-founder and CEO Owen Tripp on for a podcast to explain what his company is doing.

'“Kim, we have the results of your A1C. It’s not good.” Ever since I was 9, I hated the thought of being a “bad girl” when it came to controlling my T1 diabetes. I would dread appointments for fear I would disappoint the doctors and my parents. When the much-anticipated number was finally announced, I left the office clutching my stuffed animal, either feeling elated or crushed, until the approach of the next test.
'The Easter Bunny wasn’t used to being upside down. In the air, yes. His “hops” usually were closer to flying, much like Superman in the original Action comics. But not hanging upside down. And that’s what he was doing, hanging upside down. The ground was below him. The basket was there, too, toppled over and spilling with sweets, wrapped in delicate pinks and blues.

'Balancing your blood sugar during exercise can be challenging. Everything from a simple walk at the mall to a 100-mile cycling race can have a significant impact, and it isn’t always predictable what that impact will be, or whether trouble will come from hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Many T1 athletes, be they weekend warriors or dedicated competitors, spend years growing frustrated with a lack of BG control during exercise.
'History can make for some interesting science experiments. It might even explain why people living less than 200 miles apart can have such differing rates of Type 1 diabetes. According to an article in Smithsonian , researchers believe they have found a geographic hotspot that illustrates how good hygiene might cause children to be more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes.
'In 1923, Dr. Elliott Joslin said, “Insulin is a remedy primarily for the wise and not for the foolish, be they patients or doctors. Everyone knows it requires brains to live long with diabetes, but to use insulin successfully requires more than brains.”. Diabetes is a hard disease to understand for both patients and doctors. Too often, we boil it down to insulin, or the lack thereof, but there is so much more to it than that.
'I awoke Easter Sunday to an email from a woman who had heard about Perle Bioscience’s Insulin Independence Trials. She spoke about how difficult it was to find the right endocrinologist, even though she was willing to travel out of town to do it. She also shared her excitement about the potential to one day be insulin independent. Her email encapsulated the hope and weariness so many people with Type 1 diabetes feel.

'Great medical advances may be discovered by scientists in the laboratory, but often only after patient advocates have taken to the streets. In the eighties, for example, AIDS was considered a death sentence until ACT UP activists pressed the FDA to provide more funding for HIV research. Using a combination of street theatre, civil disobedience, and diplomacy, these activists forced policymakers to fund HIV research.
'All this month, we’ve been featuring profiles from the book typecast, which celebrates everyday acts of courage from people affected by Type 1 diabetes. In this second part of a profile on “Diabetes Dad” blogger Tom Karlya, we learn how Karlya determines when to step back and when to take charge of diabetes care for his two T1 kids. Tom Karlya’s two children with T1 are old enough to largely manage the condition themselves these days, but he readily admits he can be a burr in their saddle, if n
'It seems incongruous to have to worry about hypoglycemia more during a hospital stay than in daily life, but diabetes specialists warn that people with diabetes who are hospitalized face a greater risk of experiencing hypoglycemic events in the hospital. Those events can set patients back in the healing process, prolong hospital stays and heighten the chance of negative medical outcomes months after discharge, researchers found.
'In the book typecast, Andrew Deutscher profiles everyday heroes in the T1 community. The following is an excerpt from that book: Kamaal and Malcom Washington. Kamaal was diagnosed with T1 at age 9. On a family trip to St. Louis in 2003, 9-year-old Kamaal Washington was constantly thirsty, thirsty to the point of downing 42-oz. drinks back-to-back and not being sated.
Speaker: Dr. Mauvareen Beverley, Patient Engagement and Cultural Competence Specialist
If you’re a healthcare provider, chances are you have experienced symptoms of burnout yourself or have colleagues who are currently facing extreme career dissatisfaction. One of the many ways to partially alleviate burnout is active patient engagement. By engaging with patients to understand their needs and preferences, healthcare providers can develop treatments tailored to the individual patient.
'Here’s the latest news on some of the gear and treatments that might make life easier for people with T1: Pasta Lovers, Rejoice! The smart-looking little Dario glucometer is continuing its roll-out into the European marketplace by announcing it has received approval for reimbursement from Italian health insurance companies. The device is aiming to be the Swiss Army Knife of glucometers, with a glucose meter, disposable test strip cartridge, and a lance packed into a tiny device that plugs into
'If you want to experience the emotional rollercoaster that comes with rooting for Afrezza, an inhalable insulin product, look no further than the stock price of Mannkind, Afrezza’s creator. Leading up to a FDA panel review of Afrezza on April 1st, Mannkind shares tanked badly. But once FDA advisors came back with a surprise 13-1 vote in favor of Afrezza for treating T1, the price of Mannkind’s shares shot up 75% in just 4 days.
'traducido por Dani Royo: “Kim, tenemos los resultados de su glicosilada. La cifra no es buena.” Desde que tenía 9 años, odiaba la idea de ser una “chica mala” a la hora de controlar mi diabetes. Me daba miedo ir a la consulta por miedo a decepcionar a los doctores y a mis padres. Cuando, finalmente, me decían la cifra, salía del despacho “agarrándome al peluche”, ya sea con un sentimiento de euforia o de fracaso, hasta la llegada de la próxima analítica.

'Insulin Nation received a lot of great feedback from our recent article celebrating people who have survived and thrived for 50 years or more with T1. Some readers sent in their own success stories, and we wanted to share: . Mary Louise Granger, 56 years (not pictured here). “I was 12 years old when my teacher sent a note home to my parents stating that I was constantly asking to be excused from class to use the lavatory.
'In the book typecast , Andrew Deutscher profiles everyday heroes in the T1 community. In this excerpt, he introduces us to Tom Karlya, a diabetes dad who has made it his mission to raise money for the Diabetes Research Institute. Of all the roles that actor Tom Karlya has played, it is his undertaking as a diabetes dad that will end up earning him some kind of lifetime achievement award.
'The competitive nature of research medicine is a double-edged sword. Doctors often are inherently competitive to begin with, and research groups compete with one another to be first to discover the next big breakthrough. Whether for profit, glory, or bragging rights, such competition drives researchers to find better treatments, but it also means that they don’t always share well.
'Benjamin Franklin once said that “by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” That’s solid advice for people with diabetes, because creating a health plan with your physician can greatly improve not only your health and diabetes management, but also your quality of life. Such a plan can be like a roadmap or reference point to keep you on track to reach your long-term health care goals.

'Last November, the most intense tropical storm in documented history hit the Philippines, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless. For disaster relief groups, getting people food, water, and shelter after such a disaster isn’t easy. It’s exponentially more tricky to help those with chronic diseases like Type 1 diabetes, says Carol Atkinson, a U.S. program coordinator for Insulin for Life, an international non-profit that collects and distributes diabetes supplies for people in developi
