		<title>Promoting support groups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again I was very disappointed by the support group last night. I hadn&#8217;t attended this group in over a year since the usual number of attendees was small and thus the discussions were limited. Last night was more of the same with only one other person showing up. When I arrived at the hospital, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time to improve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For me there are times when I&#8217;m on automatic as I go day to day with testing, eating, exercising and taking insulin. This reminds me that sometimes I can drive to a destination and not have conscious recollection of the drive. Is this a problem? My process involves doing a weekly review of the metrics [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stay in process</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the great lessons I&#8217;ve learned over the past 33 years is to keep my focus on health and to remain in process with my diabetes self-care. There are many distractions that can get in the way of caring for myself and my job is to continually come back to job one—taking care of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Testing &amp; injecting in public</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was on oral medications, checking blood glucose in public was less of a problem than when I started injecting insulin. I&#8217;m always surprised when people speak to me about a relative with diabetes when they see me testing in a restaurant. This has historically been an opportunity to have a conversation and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outstanding feedback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I learned years ago that the higher I rose in an organization, the less likely I was to receive feedback. It is with that background that I express my deep appreciation to my old friend Jack Coleman for his kind remarks I&#8217;ve posted below. Jack and I were privileged to manage a contract services business [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problem diagnosis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little did I know that I need to be a super sleuth in managing my blood sugar. Symptom: After changing my set last Saturday my BG went way up and stayed there; however, a couple of readings were 100 and 61, so what&#8217;s going on here? Analysis/Diagnosis: I must be getting insulin as evidenced by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Relationship with Type 3 diabetics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We diabetics typically acknowledge the challenges of our disease and I&#8217;m wondering how many of us are in touch with the impact of our disease on our loved ones? Such people are dubbed Type 3 diabetics by several online newsletters and web sites. Recently, there was an informative exchange of information at Diabetes Daily. Please [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why am I losing things?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all misplace things from time to time, but this is ridiculous! Over the past week I&#8217;ve lost a winter jacket that never leaves my home unless I&#8217;m wearing it, so where could it be? My wife and I have looked in every conceivable location, but no jacket has been found. If this were the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Depression</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To begin, I&#8217;m not talking about financial matters. Rather, I know from reading numerous articles that we diabetics are more likely to suffer from depression than others. Let&#8217;s explore what this means and what we can do about it. How do we know we&#8217;re depressed? Symptoms of depression vary greatly, thus it&#8217;s challenging to generalize.
