Correcting at a conference Diabetes365 Day 19

Those of you in Red Sox nation will understand my late posting.

I spent three days last week at a technical conference. A reasonably large turnout and a lot of interesting sessions for a geek like me.

Diabetes365 Day 19 Oct. 26th 2007 - QuickFix

In the middle of one session my continuous glucose monitor let me know my blood sugar was going low.

Naturally, I always carry something with me to help me correct it. In this case I used Smarties. These contain a good deal of dextrose which is quickly absorbed by the body. And they taste reasonably good.

If anyone noticed me, they probably thought I was just snacking on some candy. But I was really stopping my blood sugar from going lower and causing more problems.

There is no cure for diabetes.

Yet.

How about a diabetes conference aimed at grownups?

You've probably noticed that there quite a few conferences about diabetes. But most of those are aimed at anyone with diabetes (mostly Type 2) or for children or parents of children with Type 1 diabetes.

Well those children grow up to be adults. I'm one of them. And there aren't any conference choices for those who left childhood far behind and who still have Type 1 diabetes. We're the minority within a minority.

Until now.

A small number of us are working to organize a conference for adults with Type 1. And we'd like your help. Head over to Allison's blog and learn some of the details. Then go and complete the survey for us. And thanks
