My Diabetes – Take Control of Your Diabetes
I have no idea if this is a good resource or not, but was referred here by an email newsletter from Therasense.
So far, no one was in the chat room, but probably not the right time of day.

Disposing of Sharps
Several months ago I found out I was disposing of my sharps wrong ….
Well, I dropped them off at the doctor’s office and the receptionist barely blinked, so maybe that will work.
I also found an outfit called “OnSite Medical Waste Disposal” (Or close to that), who also offered to take them for free.

Alarming — but not very clear
Yahoo! News – CDC Issues Diabetes Warning for Children
I think the article is referring to Type 2 diabetes throughout the article but it isn’t clear.
Certainly delaying Type 2 diabetes is a good thing, and certainly teaching good life style early is a good thing.
Unfortunately we’re sending mixed messages.
One of my problems this year, was shutting off the vending machines during lunch. Good idea but they are on the first few minutes and last minutes of lunch. And we have one of those machines that serve ice cream. Two problems I have … kids don’t need ice cream at school and they were smearing the ice cream all over the place! Unfortunately it was the most popular machine.

Drug for Sleep Apnea?
MSN Health – Antidepressant Is Promising for Sleep Apnea
Maybe I’m lucky, but the CPAP doesn’t bother me at all, in fact, I really like it. the white noise blanks out any outside nice, the air flow is cool.
I will admit I don’t like the fit of my current mask, and am going to do something about that in the next few weeks.
But a drug? and worse yet, and anti-depressant? I’ve never had a good time on anti-depressants, the few times I’ve taken them.
Besides, I’m doing 6 pills a day plus insulin. i have a theory that much more than that and they all stop working….

Saying no to a boss type person is hard for me.
