Good stuff. I keep reading about these developments. Stem Cell research seems to be a definate move towards a cure for diabetes. And even though I support our president on most of his views (No flames, please!) I am disappointed that he doesn't see the benefits of stem cell research.
Adrian: one more suggestion: store your insulin on the fridge door. They way the opening and closing of the door won't allow the insulin to settle. Also: the fridge door tends to be a little warmer than the rest of the fridge, so there's less chance the insulin will freeze.
BTW: I've been a diabetic since 1981.
