Resolutions

On December 20th the United Nations released a resolution on diabetes. The resolution designates November 14th, the current World Diabetes Day, as a United Nations Day to be observed every year beginning in 2007.

A startling fact that I didn't know before reading about the Unite for Diabetes campaign information is that every 10 seconds someone dies from diabetes and two people develop the disease.

The International Diabetes Federation has started a new blog called Diabetes Circle that tracks the UN campaign and developments from the IDF. The name comes from their new logo which is the userpic on this post.

For my own part I've started testing and made an appointment to see a doctor and get the prescriptions I should have been taking for the last year. My fasting level was over twice what it should have been this morning.
