In Germany, people wish each other a “Guten Rutsch” (or a “good slide”) into the new year. Here’s a little visual that might help with that expression
Today, from the bottom of my diabetic heart — and my family’s — wishing you all a great slide into 2010.


I did not get around to compiling a year-in-review post for the field of diabetes as I had hoped (other than my annual roundup of what happened here). I’m a little too swamped with family responsibilities, and frankly, a little burnt out. But here are a few end-of-year roundup posts that I recommend:
* 2009 – The Year in Review for Health IT
* A Revolution is Born: An Interview with ePatient Dave – not a roundup per se, but an interview that gives you a great sense of how patients’ use of the Web to connect is changing the world, year by year.
I hope to return to my usual strenuous blogging schedule with verve in early 2010.
Enjoy your time off, Dear Friends and Readers, and I will “see you on the other side”: bright and early on Monday, Jan. 4.

Amy, best wishes to you and all you hold dear for 2010.
May the new decade brings huge improvements for diabetes treatments and gadgets for all of us.
Happy New Year to you and yours Amy!!
Guten Rutsch!
Happy New Years to you and your family!!
Happy New Year, Amy! Best to your family!
(And my word verification is “waddles.” How does it KNOW??
)
2010: promises to be an interesting year for diabetics. Biocon of Bangalore may commercialize the world’s first oral insulin.
I wish you and your blog reader community HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR 2010!!
Happy New Year Amy hope to have you back stateside soon.
HI,
I wish you a happy new year, with healthy and good luck.
Amy, Take time, refresh, rejoice! Wishing you peace, prosperity, joy and health for the New Year!
Happy New Year to you too! Here is to a great year to come!
