dLifeTV asks: So you think you're a celebrity trivia wiz?

This Sunday, September 3, 2006 join the uproarious laughter of Jim Turner (best known for HBO's Arli$$), as he tests your trivia talent while paying tribute to the unspoken heroes of the diabetes community, healthcare professionals and caregivers. He uses his Diabetes Toolbox to facilitate the introductions. From what I've heard, the Diabetes Toolbox alone is worth tuning in!

Jim, a co-host of dLifeTV, was diagnosed as a type I diabetic in high school. He has found that sharing his experiences as a diabetic will help other diabetics understand that they are not alone. The unique gift Jim uses to relay this message is his craft for comedy.

So if you think that you or someone you know is a celebrity trivia genius, tune into dLifeTV (on CNBC) this Sunday, September 3, 2006 at 7:00PM ET/4:00PM PT and rediscover Susan (Heidi Swedberg) , the ill-fated fiancé of Seinfeld's George Costanza; Jeffrey Rosso the high school guidance counselor from Freaks and Geeks; Spin City's Carter Sebastian Heywood and many others who team up to remind you that they exist and deserve their own kind of special recognition -- just like diabetes caregivers!

ADA Richard Kahn blogging Scientific Sessions

Richard Kahn, Chief Scientific & Medical Officer for the American Diabetes Association, is blogging the American Diabetes Association's 66th Annual Scientific Sessions. From June 9 - 13, the annual convention brings together leading scientists and health professionals to present the latest study findings and to discuss the current and future progress in the field of diabetes prevention and care.

So far, some of Kahn's posts have covered such topics as: insulin and longevity; endocannabinoids, oral insulin, the new A1C test, who is responsible for optimal diabetes care; the worm study; and you are what your mother ate during her pregnancy. The posting is written in a light and easy manner, not requiring the average person to being a textbook of medical definitions to make sense out of what is being said. I assume Kahn will continue blogging through June 13. You can read Richard's D.C. Diary here.
