We met Noah in Boston and interviewed him in the company of his parents, while riding the swan boats over by the Public Garden. Noah is a very smart and fun kid!

He has type 1 diabetes and enjoys Legos, riding his bike and gardening. His favorite subjects are Social Studies and Science. He has a great nurse at his school and he loves his mom and dad!

He would like to see a cure for diabetes so that the world will have people who once had diabetes. He closed by saying "Peace!"

Sick Days with Diabetes: Things To Do

2008-05-02T13:27:00.000-07:00

This video talks about the importance of frequent testing, testing for ketones and drinking plenty of fluids/reducing your carb intake while sick with a cold or the flu, if you have diabetes.

If none of this works and you still see high blood sugars or if you find ketones in your urine, contact your doctor right away!

How Glucose Meter Test Strips Look Inside

2008-04-28T14:34:00.000-07:00

Noah is 10 years old and has type 1 diabetes. We met him in Boston recently.

In this video, Noah explains very well how the test strips look inside for the glucose monitor embedded in his insulin pump. Test strips look alike for other glucose monitors but most of them are not (yet) embedded as part of insulin pumps like his.

Diabetes Hands Foundation Partners with OneTouch

2008-04-20T19:14:00.000-07:00

After evaluating suggestions from members of TuDiabetes.com, we decided to explore the options that most members that participated seemed to be comfortable with. Though we still are looking for more ways to continue to sustain the community, we are happy to share with everyone the news about a new partnership, that is helping us kick start the labor of the Diabetes Hands Foundation.

In early February, a guy by the name of Michael approached us at the San Francisco Diabetes Expo in Santa Clara. It was very surreal to find out he represented LifeScan, the makers of the OneTouch meters, specially after we had attempted for many weeks in 2007 to find out who we could speak with there to explore the possibility of a partnership.

After two and half months and a LOT of work and trips to San Francisco and one trip to L.A., we have chosen to start a partnership with OneTouch, licensing to them the concept and the name of the "Word In Your Hand" project that came to life within the TuDiabetes.com community in 2007.

The concept of using a word to describe what diabetes means to people resonated with them and they will be working with us to support the "Word In Your Hand" project and find ways to grow it.
