Other news and information
Clinic We offer diabetes care suggestions based on the current state-of-the-art in caring for type 1 diabetes. Learn more about continuous glucose sensors and see Getting Started with Continuous Glucose Monitoring by Linda Mackowiak, MS, RN, CDE. The "Un-Tethered" Regimen by Dr. Steve Edelman offers pump users an alternative strategy by combining a pump with Lantus. Any child who was diagnosed in their first year of life should be screened for Kir6.2 Mutations. This mutation causes an extremely rare form of diabetes that can be treated with oral medication. To learn more, see Switching from Insulin to Oral Sulfonylureas in Patients with Diabetes Due to Kir6.2 Mutations. Families in the US should contact Dr. Louis Philipson at the University of Chicago.

Diabetes Humor My 5 year old kindergartener wears her diabetes "bracelet" around her ankle because it's more comfortable and doesn't get in her way. One day at school, her friend asked her, "How do you know which leg has diabetes?" My daughter laughingly replied, "My whole BODY has diabetes!"

Ask the Diabetes Team My doctor switched me to Victoza but I have had nothing but elevated blood sugars since. Should I go back on insulin? (16 May 2012)
Answers to over 19,220 questions

From the Diabetes Dictionary Microalbumin Small amounts of protein in the urine that cannot be detected by the usual "dipstick" test done for routine urinanalysis testing for other reasons. Specialized dipsticks, or urine collections over a period of 12-24 hours, are used to measure the amount of microalbumin. If there is persistent microalbumin over several repeated tests at different times, the risk of diabetic nephropathy and macrovascular disease are both higher.

Studies and Surveys
Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet is a group of studies looking at the prevention and early treatment of type 1 diabetes.
Women between 12 and 20 who use an insulin pump are needed for a study to understand the experiences of female adolescents with type 1 diabetes being treated with an insulin pump and assess any commonalities between them. Kids between the ages of 12 and 17 with type 1 diabetes are needed for studies on the artificial pancreas project. Researchers from Palo Alto University are conducting a study to learn about the impact of various forms of support on quality of life for parents and siblings of children and adolescents with diabetes as well as the psychosocial effect felt by the siblings.
