As mentioned in the Chat Thread, I get a weekly Newsletter from D:LIFE which is a TV talk series devoted to living with Diabetes . . . they often have good articles and I thought some of them might be of interest to the rest of you.

Here are a couple if interesting little gems from this weeks edition.

I also receive a monthly newsletter from my Drug Store Chain (Lawtons, which may only be in Atlantic Canada). It is full of useful stuff, too, but it is hard-copy. If I can figure out how to scan some of those in here, I'll add them too.

Have fun, gang . . .
