I would like to say that running is as important as inulin to me and my diabetes, but it isn’t. Running is a very important part of the delicate balance…

Echo Therapeutics announced positive results from its clinical trial of the Symphony tCGM System, a non-invasive, wireless, transdermal continuous glucose monitoring system, in major general surgery and cardiothoracic surgery patients. This study is the second of two studies in critically ill patients.
Data from this study demonstrate that Symphony successfully and continuously monitored glucose levels in the intensive care unit at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
First, the new Enlite sensor — and I really should use “new” in quotation marks because it has been available in Europe for about a year — is much more comfortable and accurate than previous Minimed sensors. Second, the Veo pump itself has a glucose suspend feature, meaning that if the Enlite sensor detects your blood glucose is below 70, it can stop insulin delivery on its own.

Eli Lilly and Company and Boehringer Ingelheim announced a global agreement to jointly develop and commercialize a portfolio of diabetes compounds currently in mid- and late-stage development. Included are Boehringer Ingelheim's two oral diabetes agents—linagliptin and BI10773—as well as Lilly's two basal insulin analogues—LY2605541 and LY2963016—as well as the option to co-develop and co-commercialize Lilly's anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody.
My brother Sam does not have diabetes, but he and I think alike when it comes to diet and nutrition. We both agree that carbs and sugar are not good…
We recently received a copy of Pumping Insulin, the 5th Edition, which provides up-to-date information on how to use an insulin pump to achieve the best blood glucose management.
The book provides clear, logical steps on how to set up a pump test and adjust it. It demonstrates simple ways to find your total daily dose of insulin, basal rate and carb and correction factors for boluses, and how to use the bolus calculator to avoid stacking insulin and highs and lows.
I scratch it and scratch it, but it continues to itch.
It’s hot and humid and my infusion site is driving me absolutely crazy. It itches me most of…
