text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Symptoms Fever During Pregnancy What is fever during pregnancy?When you get a fever during pregnancy, you'll have the same normal signs -- high temperature, sweating, shivering, headache, muscle aches, dehydration and fatigue. There's a theory that an increased core temperature, whether from a fever or a dip in the hot tub, can cause neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. In theory, high temps at a certain point very, very early in pregnancy (we're talking in the first five to six weeks after conception) could cause the tube to form incorrectly. But that's just a theory; it's never been proven. Lots of women have fevers throughout their pregnancies, and their babies turn out just fine. What could be causing my fever during pregnancy?When you're pregnant, your immune system is doing double duty trying to protect both you and baby, so you may be more susceptible to colds and fevers during pregnancy. When should I go to the doctor with my fever during pregnancy?If your fever doesn't go away in 24 to 36 hours, you should see your doctor. Also, you should go to the doctor if you experience any of these signs with your fever: abdominal pain, nausea, contractions or a rash. Your fever could be a symptom for other conditions like cytolomegalovirus, flu, cold, food poisoning, HIV/AIDS, IBD, syphilis, toxoplasmosis or varicella. What should I do to treat my fever during pregnancy? It's perfectly okay to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) while you're pregnant. (If you're worried about taking Tylenol while pregnant, remember this: If your baby was born today and he had a fever, the doctors and nurses would give him Tylenol. Plus, your liver will metabolize the medicine, so he'll only get a wee bit of it.) Make sure you're taking it according to the dosage instructions on the package though, and run it past your doctor if you're unsure of how much to take.Stay away from ibuprofen (Advil), though. Most docs advise pregnant women to avoid NSAIDs such as ibuprofen altogether because they can affect the baby's cardiovascular system later in pregnancy.If you're trying to stay away from taking even Tylenol -- or you want to help your body temp to drop, try a lukewarm bath or use a cool cloth on your head. Pregnancy is hard enough without a fever to make you miserable! Plus, more from The Bump: Are viruses a danger to my unborn baby? How can I avoid getting a cold or the flu while pregnant?

LOOKS Like the FOX NEWS over reacted--- THIS WAS A FIRE CRACKER incident...
Breaking! FOX news!
Two shots fired outside White House near North Gate... looks like Secret Service have situation under control...
More news as it breaks!
Views: 115
Just watching this, they have the man. Said it was a man throwing fire crackers over the fence into the lawn. Found no gun. He looked really dangerous- Bermuda shorts and polo shirt - LOL Took 4 of them to take him down. Nothing serious or going on now. Everything is cleared out and the squad car just left with this poor man. My son said, "mom, I am not going to ask what you are thinking right now, I know what it is". I told him, well, God would not want me to lie, so if you do not ask it is best. LOL
...THIS MADE me WONDER if we'll recognize the next "shot heard 'round the world" when it occurs... WHAT IF this man, or a couple of patriots, were to attack the "people's house," claiming the 'revolution' has begun... and then fighting began breaking out all across the country... WOULD we rise up in support, or chalk it up to a crazy right winger neocon acting out?
A little Jumpy are they?!!!

Worst songs of the '90s: Where are they now?
We're not sure why Rolling Stone decided to conduct a readers' poll of "Worst Songs of the '90s," but now all sorts of annoying earworms are stuck in our heads. The poll's results are pretty much what you'd expect, though why the Spice Girls are not on this list, we'll never understand. Warning: Do not read if you experience nausea when the made-up words "chumba" and "wamba" are placed together. (Ariel Alexovich, RedEye)

Results of our field-testing is in and it is extremely fast and a bit more understable than the Katana through the middle part of the flight but it does want to kick back to hyzer at the very end of the flight - perhaps even a bit more than the Katana. All-in-all a very sweet ultra long range driver that will prove its worth best as a long slow hyzer to anhyzer shot. For many mid-level(not power players) players this could be the farthest flying driver in the bag. Also should end up being a great roller once you learn how to control it.
Similar shape and feel to the Katana, the curve on top of the wing has been tweaked.
The performance numbers for this new driver are similar to the katana but the Vulcan offers a different look and feel.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding TSYS' belief about the positive impact of diversification and TSYS' earnings guidance for 2011 total revenues, revenues before reimbursable items, income from continuing operations and EPS from continuing operations, and the assumptions underlying such statements including, with respect to TSYS' earnings guidance for 2011: (1) the economy will not worsen during 2011; (2) there will be no deconversions of large clients during the year; (3) there will be no significant movement in foreign currency exchange rates related to TSYS' business during 2011; (4) TSYS will not incur significant expenses associated with the conversion of new large clients or acquisitions, or any significant impairment of goodwill or other intangibles; and (5) there will be no significant movements in LIBOR, and no significant draws on the remaining balance of TSYS' revolving credit facility. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of TSYS' management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond TSYS' ability to control or predict. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) one or more of the assumptions set forth above upon which TSYS' 2011 earnings guidance is based is inaccurate; (2) adverse developments with respect to entering into contracts with new clients and retaining current clients; (3) continued consolidation and turmoil in the financial services and other industries during 2011, including the merger of TSYS clients with entities that are not TSYS processing clients, the sale of portfolios by TSYS clients to entities that are not TSYS processing clients and the nationalization or seizure by banking regulators of TSYS clients; (4) TSYS is unable to control expenses and increase market share both domestically and internationally; (5) TSYS is unable to manage the impact of slowing economic conditions and consumer spending; (6) the material breach of security of any of TSYS' systems; (7) the impact of potential and completed acquisitions, including the costs associated therewith and their being more difficult to integrate than anticipated; (8) the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on TSYS and on our clients; (9) changes occur in laws, rules, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards affecting TSYS and our clients that may result in costly new compliance burdens on TSYS and our clients and lead to a decrease in the volume and/or number of transactions processed; (10) the costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters or adverse facts and developments relating thereto; (11) adverse developments with respect to the credit card industry in general, including a decline in the use of credit cards as a payment mechanism; and (12) internal growth rates of TSYS' existing clients are lower than anticipated whether as a result of unemployment rates, card delinquencies and charge-off rates or otherwise. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this release can be found in TSYS' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

It was all Guy Fawkes and fireworks last night but where were the left-footed plotters? Influential Catholic scribes met in the Athenaeum Club in Pall Mall to celebrate The Train in Spain, Ten Great Journeys Through the Interior, by the Daily Telegraph's religious columnist Christopher Howse.

Is Cafod going to stand by its man? Despite the board of trustees holding a meeting last weekend, the Catholic charity tells me it won't be releasing a statement about the controversy surrounding its head of media and PR, Damian McBride. Cafod initially vacillated over whether to accept royalties from McBride's memoir of his time as Gordon Brown's spin-doctor before deciding to spurn the offer. Since then it has come under renewed pressure to sever ties with him.
15 October 2013
Proof that God spins in mysterious ways? Cafod has declined its share of the royalties from its employee Damian McBride's Power Trip memoir — but there are still calls from leading Catholics to expel him from his job as the Catholic aid agency's media spokesman. Now, as the Cafod board prepares to meet this weekend, the Cafod website announces Gordon Brown's former press adviser has been promoted.
11 October 2013
To the launch of Damian McBride's political memoir Power Trip, which chronicles how the spin doctor schmoozed, bullied, berated and lied in the service of his boss Gordon Brown. McBride, nicknamed McPoison by his detractors, told me he did not invite many people as he was afraid no one would come and that he did not expect any Labour MPs to turn up. In the event one did, Tom Watson.

Is Cafod embarrassed by Damian McBride's memoir Power Trip: A Decade of Policy, Plots and Spin?

Is support slipping away for GK Chesterton's canonisation? Earlier this week the Londoner reported that Richard Ingrams, editor of The Oldie, thought the drive to make the Father Brown author a saint was a bad idea as it would bring up the old accusations of anti-Semitism against him, even though it was his brother Cecil who was chiefly guilty.
05 September 2013
Richard Ingrams is annoyed that the Bishop of Northampton is to appoint a priest to look at whether local author GK Chesterton should be made a saint, following a campaign by the American Chesterton Society. Chesterton, famous for his Father Brown mystery novels, converted to Catholicism in the 1920s. Dale Ahlquist, president of the ACS, said Mr Chesterton's writings had brought people to the Catholic faith, adding he was a "saint for our time". But Oldie editor Ingrams, who converted to Catholicism himself only two years ago, thinks the proposal "would dredge up the debate about his anti-Semitism".

Cannibals; Left and Right
Afterburner with Bill Whittle: Cannibals
Bill Whittle is back and he's obviously not very happy since the election. But he's channeling it all into fighting to save this country:
Now that Barack Obama has been reelected president, ObamaCare is certain to remain unchanged. Bill thinks this is the first step towards massive tax increases, socialized health care, and a citizenry more dependent on the federal government than ever. So although the foreseeable future of our great country may seem grim, hear why Bill thinks patriots must continue to fight the good fight for the duration.

Taxes are tyranny. They're not the only tyranny, but one thing that most tyranny has in common is cannibalization of wealth.+2

Dear friends,I am suffering from painful unemployment and am feeling very depressed because of it. Since I have too much free time, I decided that I should spend more time in prayer. But I have trouble praying for longer than 20 minutes. Can you give me advice on how to pray longer.Please pray for me.
ask your father of confession (FOC) how much you should be praying... like amount of metanyas or prostrations, amount of psalms to read and chapters in the bible to read
+1 for @Ioannes
I read this a few days before your post. Every word is from a book called "Practical Spirituality" by Fr. Athanasius Iskander (pg. 52).
"God, in his his love towards us, gives us plently of chances to practice and acquire this important virtue of patience. Unfortunately, because we are not "tuned" towards God properly, we fail to realize these opportunities and most of the time we miss taking advantage of them.
For example, you are out of a job and it has been two months now. You have sent hundreds of resumes to various places, you have been praying fervently, but, alas, not a single response. You start blaming God and asking, "Why is God doing this to me?" The answer is this, God is giving you a golden opportunity to practice patience. It is the easiest thing for God to give you a job right away. But an instant job will not lead you into the Kingdom of Heaven, patience will. So, God gives you a chance to practice and acquire patience, and the sooner you do it, the sooner he will give you that job!"
+Christ is risen!It's an awesome book, it was written by my father of confession when I lived out in Canada!Saint Macarius the Great said something very important, "It is not always necessary to pray with many words, it can be enough to simply say, 'Lord, have mercy!'"His point is that, as our Lord spoke of the Pharisee, that sometimes they make long pretenses of prayer. The Lord, as said above, is looking for us to have love toward Him, to give Him our hearts. Sometimes that's expressed in pure silence, other times it's pouring out the heart with many words, sometimes it's tears, sometimes it's just short prayers, sometimes it is psalms… All of these are prayer.Do not aim for length, aim for communion of your heart and His.Pray for me,ap
Hi Fr. Antony Paul,
It's enjoyable to see new people here at Tasbeha. They make the forum more colorful and alive through the speaking and sharing of God's word! Having a priest on here is even more of a blessing! :)
However, I think we would like to get to know you more. I know you mentioned earlier that you used to be in Canada with Fr. Athanasius Iskandar, right? What church are use serving in now? And how long have you been serving as a priest?
(just a little note, you may want to change your youtube privacy settings.)
+Christ is risen!Dear CopticStrength,I didn't see this post, and for some reason I'm not getting any e-mail notifications even though I subscribed to them all.I am currently serving in the Diocese of Los Angeles under Anba Serapion. Can you send me a private message about the youtube thing because I'm not sure what you're referring to! Might be better that that be in private rather than public! :)Thanks.pray for me,ap
+Christ is risen!
Hey, I looked up Fr. Antony Paul on YouTube, that is not me!
Pray for me,
Orthodork :When you want to lift weights, you don't put 300lbs on the weight bench and attempt to lift it. You must start at 100lbs. Then progress the next week to 110lbs. Then the next week to 120lbs, and so forth until you reach the 300lbs.Prayer is tough. I prayed for the first time in my life a prayer which lifted me up when I was 32. And just to let you know, I am 32. It takes time, so do not look merely at the clock to think that you need more time. Do what is comfortable for you, and then slowly progress.Maybe 20 minutes, then 25, 30, and so forth. It doesn't have to be in a matter of weeks, but it could be years. Just take your time and do not get stuck in formalities of time or organization or how you sing a hymn. It isn't about that. It's about what is in your heart, what you believe that is important.Good Luck and God Bless.

The first of the new Smart cars produced by Micro Compact Car AF (MCC) was launched as the Smart city-Coupé in nine European countries in 1998. And though the original idea was to employ a hybrid powertrain, consumers of those early new Smart models warmly embraced the model's conventional rear-engine, rear-drive powertrain.
With the success of the City-Coupé, an effort was made to expand the model range. This resulted in the development of the Smart Roadster; along with a rear-engine, rear-drive, four-door, four-seat supermini, called the Smart Forfour. Plans also included the creation of a minivan to be called Formore. The City-Coupé was renamed the Smart Fortwo to fit the revised model name strategy.
Ultimately, all of the other models failed—leaving only the Smart Fortwo in its coupe and convertible guises. After losing quite a bit of money, Smart GmbH was dissolved. Its operations were absorbed directly into what was then known as DaimlerChrysler. Daimler-Benz had merged with the Chrysler Corporation in 1998.
A partner in the development of the cars, Daimler-Benz eventually bought the company altogether, making MCC a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler-Benz. The name was changed, first to MCC Smart GmbH in 1999, then to Smart GmbH in 2000.
Smart cars came to the United States in 2008, marketed for Daimler-Benz by Roger Penske's Penske Automotive Group. Prior to this, new Smart cars had been imported as grey market items, which were then modified to meet American emissions and crash standards. The formal announcement of the deal between DaimlerChrysler and the Penske Automotive Group came in June of 2006.
Penske's organization created a U.S. dealership network for the new Smart models from the ground up and offered an updated version of the new Smart Fortwo cars at a price starting at $12,000. For customers, the process of acquiring the car originally entailed placing a reservation over the Internet for $99. The initial wait was about 12 months. By 2011 though, it was obvious sales were too slow to support an independent dealer network.
The deal with Penske was scrapped and Mercedes-Benz USA assumed responsibility for marketing new Smart models in the United States. The current line up (as of July 2013) consists of the Smart Fortwo "Cabriolet", which is the high-cost convertible version; the Smart Fortwo "Passion", which is the mid-priced moonroof version of the hardtop coupe; the Smart Fortwo "Pure", the low-cost basic version of the coupe; and the Smart Fortwo "Electric Drive", the electric version of the micro car offered in both coupe and convertible configurations.

CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT: Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences
Date: June 3, 2010
by: Loren Mayo | Community Editor
Students at the Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences are designing and building Leonardo Da Vinci flying machines. They will test the projects Friday, June 4.
Carlos Hernandez, teacher and head of the science department
What is this project?
We are incorporating physical science by designing a flying machine. There will be three levels — a parachute, a machine and helicopter top. We're launching it tomorrow.
Is this your first time building one?
I've never made one.
Haley Coulter and Grace Gordon
What inspired this design?
Haley: We're making a Hershey kiss-shaped glider and right now we're building the skeleton.
Had you previously studied flying machines?
Grace: We have a packet that tells us about Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machines.
How will it work?
Haley: We're going to take construction paper and put it over the top of the skeleton and hopefully it will glide down.
Grace: We're going to put a baby doll inside. We want the wings to curl up like bat wings and have the bottom stay straight.
What's the next step?
Haley: We are building it to day and tomorrow we will see whose stays in the air the longest.
Are you optimistic?
Grace: I think it will work, but I don't know about the longest. We haven't had any trouble building it yet.
Did you name your machine?
Grace: The SS-KISS. We had a choice of whatever we wanted to build.
What have you learned about Da Vinci?
Grace: It surprised me how much he knew about flying just from watching birds and bats, so it's kind of cool to put yourself in his shoes for a while.
Spencer Verheul and Raymond DeCamillis
What are you building?
Spencer: This is one of Da Vinci's helicopers — we're just modifying it. Instead of one layer where the blades spin, we are going to have two different ones.
How will it work?
Raymond: The blades can't be flat. They have to be curved at a 45-degree angle to help it stay up. We need multiple sets of blades because one set doesn't hold up as well as others.
Spencer: Half of the stuff we wanted to use isn't here, so we had to change the design.
How will the tissue paper help the machine fly?
Raymond: It will help float and is going to act like a parachute. We have blades on the bottom to hold it up.
Sofia Hernandez-Tome
You obviously have the most colorful project in the class — what is it?
It's my version of Da Vinci's parachute.
How did you design it?
I had to build a vent on top because it brings in air. It's heavy. I don't think it's going to float the longest.
How long did it take to build?
About 30 minutes.
Davia Banks and Logan Gow
What kind of flying machine did you build?
Davia: It's an ornicopter.
Why did you choose this design?
Davia: It looks cool, it's hard and we both like stuff that's challenging. I researched online for images.
Logan: We both really like challenges.
What is the goal of this project?
Davia: To see whose stays in the air the longest. We think ours has a good chance because it won't be that heavy. Air will get trapped into it and help it stay up.
What are you working on right now?
Logan: I'm trying to build the base using a rubber band and propeller.
Have you learned anything about Da Vinci from this project?
Davia: He was a great artist.
Logan: He had a crazy but good mind.

Adobe Warns Of Bug In Shockwave Player
There's a critical bug in Adobe's Shockwave Player that affects both Windows and Macintosh PCs. The bug was publicly disclosed earlier this week. According to Adobe, the bug "could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system."
In the security advisory, Adobe said that it considers the issue critical and is working on a patch. The company hasn't disclosed any details as to when the patch will be available. So far, there are no known reports of attacks that have taken advantage of the bug.
"Hundreds of millions of computers with Internet connectivity have Shockwave installed, so, this will obviously be an attractive target for attackers," security vendor Symantec said Thursday in an e-mailed statement to Computer World.
If attacks should become a problem before a patch is released, users can disable Shockwave in their Web browsers to avoid issues.
Whats new, lately every time I turn my head either flash player or reader has a bug and a security hole, I hope adobe tries harder in 2011, cause this year was embarrassing for them.

UltiMed, which offers the only pen needles assembled in the United States, has announced that it is now offering a 50-count universal-fit pen needle.

The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture has announced its 60th annual Good Design Awards, which honor "quality design of the highest form, function, and aesthetic." Guess which paragon of contemporary design won an award this year? An insulin needle. Called the NovoTwist and made by Novo Nordisk for use with insulin pens, this marvel of design has a bayonet fitting that allows "just twist" attachment and detachment to compatible pens, and an audible and tactile "click" that confirms attachment of the needle.

Working toward the goal of unifying patients' diabetic treatment information in a single place, the PositiveID Corporation hopes to patent a new device that monitors insulin pens. The Insulin Tracker would attach to a user's insulin pen and record the times and amounts of injections. That information would then be sent to a database that allows for comprehensive monitoring. Insulin pens come in disposable and cartridge-replaceable flavors; the tracker can be moved easily from one pen to another.

Insulin pens have been very popular in Europe for quite some time and interest is building steadily in the United States. Many people prefer an insulin pen over the standard syringe and vial because the pens are more convenient and more accurate. Pre-filled disposable insulin pens are the easiest of all, because you don't never have to install a new cartridge when the pen is empty-you just toss it out.

In a study funded by Novo Nordisk, researchers at Ohio State University have found that type 2s who move from oral meds to insulin would be wise to start with an insulin pen rather than a syringe.

Physicians who treat people with type 2 diabetes face difficult choices when selecting the best medical therapy for each patient. The decision process is further complicated by the fact that because type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease, therapeutic agents that were initially successful may fail five or ten years later.

Novo Nordisk has redesigned the FlexPen®, the number one selling pre-filled insulin pen in the world, to not only require less force when pushing the button to inject insulin, but also to clearly identify each type of insulin with prominent color branding. The FlexPen® is available with three Novo Nordisk insulin products: Levemir® (insulin detemir [rDNA origin] injection); NovoLog® (insulin aspart [rDNA origin] injection); and NovoLog® Mix 70/30 (70% insulin aspart protamine suspension and 30% insulin aspart injection, [rDNA origin]).

Sandy was giving her son his evening dose of NPH insulin - something she had done many times. But as she finished pushing in the plunger, she said to herself, "That shot took too long." She immediately realized that she had given Joey the wrong dose. In other words, by mistake, she had given him a potentially lethal dose of insulin.

The stock of Byetta manufacturer Amylin Pharmaceuticals has lost more than half of its value over the past eight weeks, thanks to FDA concerns that the type 2 treatment may be connected with the deaths from acute pancreatitis of six Byetta users. Although the FDA has not proven a direct association between fatal pancreatitis and the use of Byetta, Amylin's stock has fallen nevertheless.

Nassau University Medical Center said it had underestimated the number of diabetes patients potentially exposed to reused insulin pens and would be sending letters to at least 840 of them, instead of 185, urging them to be tested for hepatitis C and B and HIV.

This is a thank-you note for the article, "An Appeal to Insulin Manufacturers," on page 27 of Diabetes Health (Feb/March 2008). In the 10 years that I have been using insulin, I have made the "near fatal" mistake twice. I use Lantus and Apridra (5 units of Apidra before breakfast and lunch, and 8 units before dinner; 50 units of Lantus at bedtime). I realized what I had done after the fact and stayed up all night eating and monitoring. I was so scared each time I ate my blood sugar up to 300 mg/dl and 400 mg/dl!

It is estimated that nearly 3 million African-Americans have diabetes – 17 percent of all diabetes patients in the United States. That figure is growing as the proportion of African-American patients diagnosed with diabetes consistently increases year to year, according to research from GfK Market Measures' Roper Global Diabetes Group.

Eli Lilly and Company has introduced KwikPen, a pre-filled insulin pen containing its Humalog insulin brand of insulins. The pen is the third that Lilly has introduced over the past 12 months, following in the wake of the HumaPen MEMOIR, a digital insulin pen with memory, and the HumaPen® LUXURA HD, a reusable pen for people who need insulin dosing in smaller increments.

To successfully treat diabetes, you must take charge of your own diabetes management. You need to know your medications, and you need to know your pharmacist. But that kind of intimate knowledge has become a lot more complex in the past decade.

Editor: I am an enthusiastic reader of your magazine. I appreciate the number of times you have tackled some of the bigger questions of diabetes management that others have ignored.

When my son Danny was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I was in such a state of shock that I couldn't absorb the two days of education that our hospital provided. My head was reeling.

"Delight" is a word rarely found in company mission statements, but it's part of Owen Mumford's rather sweet and very British declaration - the company aims to "delight its customers" with its products, keeping in mind that they just might "change the life of our nearest and dearest."

For more than fifty years, I have been a type 1 diabetic. I am writing to bring attention to the fact that huge amounts of insulin are wasted due to the insulin packaging practices of the pharmaceutical industry.

I have lived with type 2 diabetes for thirteen years, and I know very well how to take care of myself. In fact, I have it down to a routine. The flaw of a routine activity, however, is that it is so very routine: you go through the motions without thinking. And that, as I learned to my deep chagrin, can be dangerous.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just approved pre-filled pens for administering Symlin, which was previously available only in vials. The SymlinPen 60 delivers 15, 30, 45, or 60 micrograms per dose.

I've been doing a lot of flying lately, and it's given me time for reflection. While aloft a few days ago in JetBlue's comfy seat, as I took out my syringe and Humalog to dose for my snack, I realized how many things I no longer do that I was once taught to do.

When it comes to administering insulin, many people prefer an insulin pen over the standard syringe and vial because they find pens more convenient and more accurate. And pre-filled disposable pens are easiest of all, because you don't have to install a new cartridge when the pen is empty–you just toss it out.

I often wonder why insulin pens are so popular in Europe, yet usage in the United States continues to hover around 12 percent. I think the main reason is that many healthcare providers are not familiar with insulin pens or how to train people to use them, so they don't recommend pens to their patients.

As the goal of better blood glucose control led to more frequent glucose testing, multiple daily injections and insulin pumps, keeping supplies and life support systems handy has become ever more important.

Q: All insulin vials are packaged with an insert that tells you not to use the insulin if the solids stay caked when you roll or shake the vial. For around 23 years, I used Iletin I and never encountered that problem. The solids always distributed themselves through the liquid the way they were supposed to. In two or three years of using Humulin, however, I've had to throw away at least four vials because the insulin cakes up and will not uncake itself no matter how much rolling, tipping or shaking I do. I can't imagine why the old "standard" insulin, which worked better in general, cost less than what we're using now, and tended to survive better on the shelf, is no longer produced in this country but is apparently still made in eastern Europe, where medicine is supposedly less advanced!

A major challenge in diabetes therapy is to match the insulin with food and exercise. Changes in the amount of time that it takes for insulin to be absorbed into the bloodstream can be a critical factor in obtaining diabetes control. Both the amount of insulin and its timing are critical, and both of these can be influenced by a wide range of variables. Here is a list of factors which every person taking insulin should be aware of.

Q: Are People with Diabetes Prone to Skin Boils?

With its IPO date looming, Facebook was obligated to amend its prospectus on Monday and share some illuminating financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Facebook shared that it saw its revenue decline in the first quarter of 2012, ending two full years of sequential growth and raising possible red flags for investors ahead of one of the most hotly anticipated IPOs in recent memory.
The social network booked revenues of $1.058 billion, up 46 percent annually, but down 6 percent from the previous quarter. Facebook also saw its profit shrink to $205 million, down 12 percent sequentially.
The numbers raise legitimate concerns because Facebook actually increased its user base during the period in question, meaning the company's average revenue-per-user is gradually slipping.
"It was a faster slowdown than we would have guessed," Brian Wieser, an analyst with Pivotal Research Group, told Reuters. "No matter how you slice it, for a company that is perceived as growing so rapidly, to slow so much on whatever basis - sequentially or annually - it will be somewhat concerning to investors if faced with a lofty valuation."
Facebook estimated its number of monthly active users at around 901 million, representing a 30-percent jump from last year's total. The site's daily active users increased more than 40 percent in the quarter to 526 million. However, the company's marketing and R&D costs more than doubled, leading to lower-than-expected net income for the quarter.
