Both many years ago when I was in school.
I would not even sleep because there would be so many things I would want to do without having to poke my finger. First, I would have a piece of sour lemon meringue pie for breakfast with a real root beer for a chaser. I would then go for a long d...
No, Catherine, no need to apologize. I'm glad you started the discussion. I, too, have concerns/opinions/beliefs/etc regarding the debate and that's why I signed up to be an advocate, too. And it's why our admin team opened the reform group for pe...
Melissa,
Please accept my apologies for bringing this discussion to TuDiabetes. I am signed up to be part of the US Healthcare Reform group, but nothing has been posted since Sept. except for mine as of today. All I wanted to know was how to be a...

You might check with the JDRF's Promise Campaign. I registered with them to be a local advocate and was invited to go speak with my local congressman during the August recess when he was home in Texas. I know the local gov't relations rep now who ...
I am an advocate with the Canadian Diabetes Association ; the Association has another day planned in December , called " Diabetes Day on the Hill " in Ottawa , our nations capital . I participated in 2007 , a very worthwhile exercise . In the end ...
Just wondering if there was any way to become a person that goes to the Capitol and let them know how the insurance companies are treating us by refusing to help us maintain what control we do have over our lives without them stepping in and telli...
I WISH I knew. If you find out anything - count me in. I think its disgusting how the insurance companies think they can dictate what is good for you and what is not. Does any one of them have Diabetes?????? If they help you control your diabetes ...
When I was in high school, I ate 2 proteins at breakfast to keep my sugars up until lunch. At lunch, I ate 3 proteins with 3 complex carbs to keep myself up for the rest of the school day. Sports after school were treated 1/2 hour before exercise ...
