[Diabetes-talk] DAN Seminar Guest Speaker

[The Jacobs' Family]

Hi Mike and Friends:  Is there any hope left for the insurance field or 
what???  Especially for anyone on Medicare???  It's all so bass 
ackwards!!!I'd like to see that covered at some point...and possibly they 
can present it with some hope particularly for diabetics???  Outside of 
moving to Canada???  I was told by someone who lives there that everyone is 
covered.  I might be willing to pay higher taxes if we could get some "REAL" 
healthcare out of it.

> January, 2009 issue of "Diabetes Forecast", the monthly magazine of the 
> American Diabetes Association. While, like the author Gretchen Becker, I 
> often find the magazine almost too cheerful, this month's guest editorial 
> is superb. It outlines a strategy for diabetes control I wholeheartedly 
> endorse -- one emphasizing moderation and eschewing extremes.
>
> In another article, we learn that the latest research indicates that, when 
> five or more grams of fiber are part of the carb count for a particular 
> item, rather than subtracting the whole fiber amount from the total carb 
> count to get the effective carb count, one should subtract *half* the 
> fiber carb count from the total to get the net carbs as it now appears 
> that some of the fiber is turned into glucose within the body by anaerobic 
> bacteria! FASCINATING!
>
> And in the "Resources" section, under glucose meters, the Prodigy Voice is 
> favorably mentioned and accurately described.
>
> I'm not done reading the mag yet but so far, it and all the issues of 
> "Diabetes Forecast" this past fall have been great and the recipes even 
> edible (sometimes I wonder where ADA gets its dietitians!).

>> Greetings, everyone!

>> I'm currently arranging for a main or keynote speaker for this year's DAN
>> Seminar at the NFB national convention in Detroit. I have a question for
>> those who are planning to go or considering going to the convention and
>> who plan to attend the DAN Seminar: what diabetes-related topic would you
>> like to see covered by a keynote speaker? I'd like answers by Monday,
>> February 23 if possible though if you come in late on this discussion,
>> please don't hesitate to venture your opinions. I make no guarantees that
>> the keynote speaker will cover your preferred topic but would appreciate
>> your input on the matter. You may post your ansers on this list or you 
>> may
>> write me at k7uij at panix.com.
>>
>> Incidentally, the seminar will take place on Sunday, July 5 from one
>> o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon with registration (and 
>> consequent
>> payment of DAN dues) beginning at 12:30 p.m.
>>
>> I look forward to the discussion.
