Like I tell my 5, 6, 9, and 11 year old children, don't believe everything that you see on the internet! I have attached the most recent FDA Warning Letter regarding Animas. The point is that all medical device companies, auto manufacturers, meter...

Again I'm sorry. The recall was do to a very specific issue with the infusion set. Mainly dealing with high altitudes. Have you had a chance to download your pump to see if there were any alarms when there was an over or under delivery of insulin?...

I was wondering if anyone had issues with the recall for the infusion tubing. The recall was in July 2009 and I never got a letter or a phone call about this. The only way I found out about this was looking on the internet after I had serious lows...

Who Are the Diabetic Angels?

A Diabetic Angel is anyone who…

Dares to have fun, Dares to be Cool, and Dares to help cure Diabetes!

DA’s are grade-schoolers, middle-schoolers, high school and college students, and yes-even adults. A Diabetic Angel is that very special person who passionately cares about others and is willing to learn about diabetes and support a diabetic. DA’s are celebrities, politicians, teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, classmates, best friends, co-workers and anyone, who wants to improve the very challenging life of a diabetic.

You too can be a Diabetic Angel if you Dare to have fun, Dare to be Cool, and Dare to help Cure Diabetes!

What Will a Diabetic Angel Learn?

Whether you want to be an individual DA’s or you want to start your own Chapter of the Diabetic Angels, everyone who becomes a Diabetic Angel will learn the basics of diabetes, including what diabetes is, what it means to have low or high blood sugar and how to distinguish between the two. You will also learn why diabetics need insulin, along with how and why everyone, especially diabetics, should eat nutritiously and exercise regularly.

You will also learn how to recognize and handle a diabetic emergency and how to be a diabetic advocate. With this knowledge you will be needed and you will be admired, because you will be… a Diabetic Angel!
