We just left Orlando, Florida, where the Annual Scientific Meetings of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) were held. I’ve been a member of the ADA since the 1970′s and I have been active especially in our local area ADA (the Northern Illinois Southern Indiana Area). As usual, the ADA national meeting was excellent with attendees and faculty from all over the world sharing in the latest advances and knowledge in Diabetes understanding and treatment. Although our knowledge about Diabetes and our ability to treat it is constantly expanding, it dawned on me that new knowledge and education is not the problem – it is our inability as patients and health care providers to use the tools and apply the knowledge we already have. Of course, research should and must continue for the future, but, what about the millions of individuals who have Diabetes now? In future posts I will continue to attempt to get individuals to use the tools we already have, especially lifestyle, to be healthier and I will talk much on my feelings that “Health Insurance” as we think of it today is really “Illness Insurance.” The only person that can really insure our health is our self. In future posts I will comment on not only my mantra “Your Weight Management = Your Lifestyle Management = Your Health Management” but also topics such as the health care debate, quality of life, and other issues.

Trivial is a complement to this post, and so would be the statement, “Technology made large populations possible large populations now make technology indispensable..”.
I appreciate this comment, but, I’m not certain what it means – exactly. Technology is indeed indispensable, more now than ever, but, individuals do have a big say in their own health.
