		<title>&#8220;OMG, Nick Jonas!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Jonas Brothers played San Francisco this week.  We did not attend (tickets started at $92).  But my three daughters have chatted up everyone at their school, everyone at summer camp, and everyone under age 14 within a 10-mile radius, I believe: they just cannot get over the fact that I actually interviewed Nick Jonas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thigh High</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been squeamish about trying alternate sites for my insulin pump.  When Tiffany wrote about using her breasts back in 2005, I kind of shut down on the whole notion. Eeeeww! Just give me the belly and arms, thank you very much.
But now that I&#8217;m having issues with both skin irritation and lipodystrophy (overused [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diabetes Research Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing about the ADA Conference last month that I haven&#8217;t gotten around to reporting: You wouldn&#8217;t believe the jockeying for position by these Big Pharma companies around all the research announcements.  What from the outside looks like a bunch of meaningful academic pursuits is in truth pure gold data that fuels streams of business.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Diabetes Educator We All Should See</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I knew Theresa Garnero was someone special before I even met her. She not only won the honor of AADE Diabetes Educator of the Year in 2004-2005, but she also recently won the Inspired by Diabetes contest &#8212; for a &#8220;Pin the Pancreas on the Piggy&#8221; game, no less.  She also contributed to this year&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Medical Adhesives: My Allergy Hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Talk about adding insult to injury! It was bad enough when my Type 1 diabetes ushered in a new era of being allergic to wheat.  But now I&#8217;ve received some equally upsetting news: it seems I am also allergic to medical adhesives.  Would you believe&#8230;?
&#8220;You&#8217;re the only one in the family who needs medical adhesives, [...]]]></description>

		<title>FreeStyle Navigator Wear: Two Lumps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t want this post to sound negative, as I&#8217;m quite liking the modus operandi of the FreeStyle Navigator.  But as you can see, reader June S. hit the nail on the head when she said, &#8220;Yikes! How can you fit a large &#8216;Pod&#8217; on your body PLUS the large Navigator transmitter/receiver?&#8221; Two lumps are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Needs B-Cells, Say the K-Cells</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Canadian company called EnGene Inc. claims to have developed an innovative genetic approach to potentially overcoming diabetes. I’m using the term “overcoming” because what EnGene is working on is not a cure per se, but a pretty cool workaround.
Here’s the deal:
As you all know, insulin is produced in the human body by beta cells [...]]]></description>

		<title>Human Guinea Pigs: How to Tell if Your Insulin Still Works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question: How can you tell if the insulin in any given vial is still good before injecting it?
Answer: You can&#8217;t! You have to &#8220;test&#8221; it on yourself by injecting and awaiting the blood sugar results.
Isn&#8217;t that crazy?!
A reader emailed me a week or so ago asking why there is no litmus test — like a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abbott Navigator: A First Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of Sunday evening at 9pm, I&#8217;m on the Navigator!  That would be the newest continuous glucose monitoring system from Abbott Diabetes, approved by the FDA this past March.  Approval took much longer than expected, while the company had been promising me a close look at the product for over a year, in part because [...]]]></description>
