The above reference has some excellent advise for diabetics. I'll have to pass it along...

"A Day in the Life of Diabetes"

The ADA is asking folks to upload photos to facebook about  "A Day in the Life of Diabetes". I assume this means uploading to the ADA facebook page and have written "askADA" about this.

My Father was an adult type 1 and my brother Charlie was a jouvenile onset (age 14). Diabetes has meant early deaths in my family (at the risk of being  morbid). My Father 2 November 1925 - 3 February 1994 and brother Charlie 2 November 1965 - 10 December 2009. Both died too damn soon!
