Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with David Kliff, of Diabetic Investor. When diabetes came knocking on David's door - he took the higher road, literally, and many would agree he has made the most of it.
David created Diabetic Investor to share his opinion as a leading authority on the business of diabetes from the unique perspective of a diabetic. Along the way he has gained interest in leading-edge technologies and breakthrough medicines to enhance the treatment of diabetes. His research and his craft for controlling his diabetes has significantly impacted his health for the best - and it keeps getting better.
David is now a marathon runner. His training efforts have resulted in a resounding 45 pound weight loss, cutting his insulin dose substantially, and improving his overall health. He launched a blog to promote his participation in the New York City Marathon this November. Checkout Dave's Run for Diabetes, and show your support for his efforts to go the distance for diabetes - all 26.2 miles!

Can I be a little jealous? I think it's great that David is running to raise funds for diabetes. But there are others of us doing the same who don't have the profile that David enjoys.
I'm riding in two weeks to raise funds to support Dr. Faustman's research into a cure for Type 1 diabetes. I'll be riding one day before my 35th d-anniversary and I'm trying to raise $10K. If anyone would like to sponsor me, I'd appreciate it. Details are at http://ride.bernardfarrell.com.
