HOW I'M GETTING MY SLICE.

I decided to finally try and do instead of just think about doing. And so this blog was born. I hope to bring some awareness to overlooked or misunderstood subjects. I will use this blog as a soundboard of everday frustrations, memorable learning experiences and other links of interests during my posts. Some the subjects that will be covered will touch my family personally. Expect those posts to be lively to say the least. Other will be of light nature and to be considered as a moment of pure childishness. Hope those who visit find something useful and enjoy their time spent.

Where to Donate...

Canadian Diabetes Association  - Check this website for all and any information on Diabetes, both Type I and Type II. There's also a convenient section on various ways to make a one-time donation and/or more.

Insulin
Insulin is a hormone that turns what we eat and drink into energy. Insulin is produced in the pancreas. When the pancreas stops producing insulin, Diabetes Type I occurs. The process of man-made insulin was invented by Dr. Frederick Banting, Dr. Charles Best, Dr. James Collip and Prof. John James Richard Mcleod, at the University of Toronto, in 1921-22.


Since this  invention, not much progress has been made in finding a true cure for Type I. There is research going on, although lack of funding is making the journey very slow. There is a way and you can help. Please donate this month and help Diabetes Research attain another Canadian first.
