It’s hard to explain to parents outside the Type 1 community what diabetes camp is, but easier to explain what it means to our family. Diabetes camp has helped my child develop strategies for how to care for himself while controlling his Type 1. For one week a year, I load up clothes, bug spray, and sunscreen and get him ready to go to camp, but I don’t have to get a week’s worth of diabetes supplies ready.

I’ve had Type 1 for 16 years; I am also a pilot. Unfortunately, flying and Type 1 diabetes traditionally have not mixed well, at least according to the law. I currently hold a commercial glider license, and enjoy flying gliders, which offer one of the purest, most complex, and most exhilarating experiences of aviation. Glider pilots are exempt from carrying a medical certificate required for power pilots, so they are less exclusionary for people with Type 1.

Now that Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has announced once again his aspiration to be the Leader of The Free World, it’s time to look back on his decision to lend his name to a cinnamon and chromium picolinate cure for diabetes.

Effective collaboration among all care team members is critical to delivering better patient outcomes. A key element to achieving effective collaboration is through the implementation of a clinical communication and collaboration platform. In a fast-paced, high-stress and critical environment, people tend to do whatever gets the job done. Therefore will scramble and use the systems, people, or processes around them to get an outcome more quickly - which can often be at the expense of quality.
