Trap doors, secret passageways, moats
While we can’t speak for all Game of Throne fans one of the cooler things about the kingdoms and their respective castles are all the trap doors, secret passageways and of course fire breathing dragons controlled by a beautiful yet slightly off kilter queen.

The Iron Throne
7Now that Game of Thrones is over the void we thought could not be filled has been filled by our very own wacky world. As it turns out our wacky world shares many of the characteristics of GOT complete with conniving, backstabbing, narcissistic rulers battling for who will ultimately sit on the Iron Throne.

ADA Day One Part One
Before we get into anything serious the coolest thing we’ve seen so far are members of the Toronto Raptors who happen to be staying at our hotel. Hey we know this has nothing to do with diabetes but still it is pretty cool. Not sure this is diabetes related either but our wine drinking friends have announced that our good buddy Serge will have a new partner in crime as Olivier...
It begins

What caught our attention...

What’s the plan?
As we count down to the beginning of the annual ADA conference it needs to be asked what’s the plan for Abbott and the future of the Libre. While the company contends that the Libre 2.0 will receive an iCGM designation as of this writing there has been nothing official from the FDA.
