I’d like to find a doctor like him in the north Dallas area. I’m not as happy as I could be with my current doctor.

This MIGHT actually go somewhere.
First Human Trials Scheduled for Diabetes Vaccine – Elites TV – Your Elite News Source
One of the reasons I suspect stem cells won’t be successful is the same reason that Islet transplants haven’t been very successful. There is something ELSE going on.
After we fix the something else, the body will probably regenerate or THEN islet transplant will be successful.

Photos of the Beagle Girls
There are photos of the beagles with Santa. I’ll have our Christmas website up tomorrow — I’m going to use that to demo to my webmastering students.

The Bell Curve
What happens when patients find out how good their doctors really are?
Very fascinating reading and I wish that the ADA would get in on a similar bandwagon as the CFA has.

Another “promise” bites the dust…

“The Biggest Loser”
I’m watching this show — I think it’s the third episode I’ve seen, and they are down to six and cutting them lose — no longer on teams.
Some of what they are doing makes sense — they showed a temptation dinner — which was typically of a family, church or work “spread”. Will it seems cruel, the participants saw it as something helpful. They used the experience to find the right food, and stay away from the wrong food.
I still think there are a lot of wrong things about the whole premise. Weight loss isn’t necessarily less calories eaten and more burn. A lot of other factors go into it, for example, read the article on sleep I posed about earlier. Insulin is also a factor for me.

Want to lose weight? Don’t forget to hit the sack
Now a growing body of research is pointing to a third possible key to weight control: Get a good night’s sleep.
And in my case, I tend to eat to stay awake.

SharpMT
I’ve installed SharpMT on both my school laptop and my home computer. If you have a TypePad or Movable Type blog, this is a really fast way to blog. You can also blog “off line” and upload later, which isn’t an issue. It works a lot like my mobile blogging software.
So maybe I’ll blog a bit more.

More on gastric bypass surgery
Oddly enough, it came up somehow today at an agility trial. Weird coincidence, but a lady see at agility trials, and who has the same size dog, actually has had successful gastric bypass surgery. She told me that the biggest things I needed to figure out, is
a) can I live without whatever food gives me down — can I give up eating full meals, sugar, and lots of other things
b) what size do I see myself, and can I “be” thin.
And I think the answer to those two questions right now are no.

Speaking of Weight Loss…
It’s not going as well as I would like lately.
However, I feel I’m mostly recovered from the few weeks without exercise. My bolus ratios are still low, but my daily insulin usage has gone done substantially AND my blood sugar levels have stabilized again.
The good news, is that I lost the weight I had temporaily gained and now I am not gaining.
