Helping you see your strength

“An Orange Peanut?! For Me?!”

January 25, 2013 By Scott K. Johnson 3 Comments

Lots of news to spread today! Buckle up for some bullet points.

FocusOnTechnologyLogo400Are you near the Washington, D.C. area (Crystal City, VA, specifically)? Come to the CWD Focus on Technology regional conference and expo happening next weekend, February 1-3, 2013. Sebastien Sasseville is the keynote speaker, and this dude is a total badass. He jogged across the freaking Sahara desert, m’kay?  I’ll be doing a session with my favorite short d-blogger on diabetes devices in the real world. It also sounds like a handful of DOC locals will be getting together for dinner on Saturday night. I’d love for you to join us!

logoRonen Keinan asked for help recruiting early adopters to a new tool his team is working on called Medivizor. It’s a service that offers personalized information updates around serious or chronic medical conditions to people and their caregivers. They believe they have solved the ‘needle in the haystack’ challenge and are able to give you updates that are relevant, understandable, and actionable. If you’d like to help them out, head over to medivizor.com and sign up.

pic small cover uploadI recently finished “Islands and Insulin” by Erin Spineto. Erin lives with type 1 diabetes and was drawn to challenge herself by sailing a 22-foot sailboat down the Florida keys and writing a book about the journey, from conception to completion. It’s an enjoyable mix of love, learning, diabetes, and adventure. The book will hit the shelves soon, and if you’re looking for a fun book with plenty of diabetes mixed in, this might be a good one for you.

photoI’m loving the new look of the Insulin Nation website! I’ve always enjoyed their content and the new site design makes it easier to get to.  If you haven’t had a look, please go check it out. “Iron Andy” and his crew are doing great work there.

diatribe_logoAre you a subscriber to diaTribe? If not, you should be. We spoke to Adam Brown, co-managing editor,  on DSMA Live last night. diaTribe is a top-notch publication that provides incredible information that’s super easy to understand. And it’s free!

indexI recently connected with Stanley Rak, from Food Facts, a website that says it is the largest, most comprehensive internet source for nutrition facts. Anyone out there used this site yet? How does it compare to Calorie King (what seems like the gold standard for many)? At first glance, it looks pretty impressive, especially how it lists common allergens and calls out controversial ingredients. Thoughts?

white-and-black-iphones-heroDo you know about Glooko? It’s a cable for your iPhone that connects to a bunch of meters and downloads your readings. They’ve just released their Logbook Charts site which allows you to get a better look at your information. Along with that, they are introducing their brand new community blog which will focus on real people with diabetes, better ways to use Glooko, as well as recipes and wellness information (site is no longer online).

I have been totally hooked on the “Bad Lip Reading” videos.  ”An orange peanut?! For me?!”
