Diabetes Breakthrough
Some great news was recently released indicating a device to regulate insulin needs for diabetics while sleeping is now being used in Europe and being evaluated by the FDA here. Diabetics are especially vulnerable to dangerous variations in their blood sugar levels during sleep leading to coma and even death. My oldest grandchild was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 8. He is now 23, but the disease is ever present. It is because of this I do a 100 mile bicycle ride each year for him with my fund raising benefitting Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
