So a developer blog I read, http://www.hanselman.com is doing a diabetes fund raising walk.  There has been much new diabetes based news lately too.  I will have to link them later.  So donate for diabetes...and for Totems new leg. 

A potential new procedure for new diabetics.  If this really works it could alleaviate a lot of the hassle Scott mentions in his blog post. 
This type of treatment would only be effective in newly diagnosed diabetics, who still have some beta-cell function left to preserve. For patients with more-advanced forms of the disease, scientists are working on cell transplants to replace lost islet cells, using cells from donor organs and, eventually, from embryonic stem cells.
  The full article.   Basically it is a stem cell solution using the patients own stem cells.  I can see how this would be a really good procedure for young kids that get Type 1 diabetes.  They would not have to worry about taking shots or medicine for a while.
