Today I'm thankful for: insulin, insulin pumps, glucose monitors, smart phones

Today (and every day) I'm thankful for the modern technology that helps my sister-in-law Kara take care of her health.

I used to teach metabolism to medical students, and we taught them that no disease requires such active participation from patients in their treatment as Type I Diabetes does.  Modern technology can make this process easier, as Kara nicely demonstrates in this video (well worth the fifteen minutes): http://www.bootcampforbetics.org/blog/pre-existing-condition-coverage-is-an-effing-joke.  I'm thankful to have Kara in my life, and I'm thankful that modern technology makes her life easier.
