Actually I know all about CWD but wasn't sure that other universities and centers around the country offer this kind of thing. I'll check out CDN, too. Thanks, Allison.

First, there's the king of all parent events: the Children with Diabetes national and regional conferences. Massive. Fun for the whole family. There is also a seminar program in Portland for parents, and they cover a variety of topics. Dr. Bruce Buckingham was here a couple weeks ago for our annual research seminar and he said that he believed the Portland is the only city to have a program of this kind. You can visit the Children's Diabetes Network at www.cdssn.org. There is even a day-long seminar at our local camp at the end of summer. I'm pretty sure Joslin has some programs for families, but I'm not sure about anywhere else. But your program seemed uniquely large which is great. Of course, CDN is a non-profit so it can only bring in people that it can afford through donations. You are lucky that your program had more financial support. Anyway, just wanted to tell you about CDN in case you were interested in finding out if there really were other places. Ciao! This isn’t the only event for parents of diabetic kids.

But then when I started using it, it broke down on the first day! The test strip drum went wacko and first was spitting out strip after strip and then a strip got stuck half-way out and I had to pry it out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Ugh. I'm never using that thing again. I was initially excited when Accu-Chek sent me a free compact a while ago. But then when I started using it, it broke down on the first day!
