From the Editors
Desk:
I just spent 2 days at the University of South Florida
Diabetes update and review in Tampa. It seems that there is a
giant movemen t afoot to focus on Type 2 diabetes in children and
adolescents. With the government’s new focus on
Pre-Diabetes, Marilyn Porter brings us a very timely overview of
“Assessment
Recommendations for Children and Adolescents”
Almost 2 years later and
we are still not catching diabetes early enough. This week
our Item Revisited is “Twelve Years Before Diagnosis
(August 21, 2000, Issue 14) See
Item #3
Dr
Jakes returns with part 2 of his feature
“Lessons
learned from the development of the diabetic supplement”
He gives great insight into how the same natural product
can cause different results and side effects, and what you need to
know to pick a great supplement for your
patient.
Please check
out item 14: “What
Does the HbA1c Results Mean” and you can print out 2 forms for
your patients: “What is Your Number and What does your number
mean?”
Dr. Burke brings you a
case
history from Mary Lu W. an RN, CDE, from Milwaukee, who has
had Type 1 diabetes for 35 years and DPN for 5. Mary Lu shares her
experience with the Anodyne Therapy System.
Steve and I were at the
University of Florida College of Pharmacy 2 weeks ago. We
presented a Dean’s Convocation Program to the Graduating Doctor’s
of Pharmacy. We would like to thank Bayer Diagnostics, NovoNordisk, and Medtronic Minimed for their support
and sponsorship.
Our 2 year anniversary issue is only 4 weeks away. We will
announce the winners of our AADE Contest, have special prizes and
more.
