But I'm currently an undergraduate engineer in a product design class whos assignment for the next ten weeks is to find a problem someone has and fix it. My group came up with a bunch of groups of people who we think might be interesting to work with and one of those groups was diabetics. Does anyone have an idea for a product that would make their lives easier or even just a problem that they wish didn't exist? For a frame of reference, some of our other ideas are for a dorm safe space heater without heating coils because our college classifies heating coils as a fire hazard and inclining shoe soles to minimize the adverse effects of running up and down hills on distance runners' shins. Thanks a lot for any help or advice

To keep this a positive place where everyone can come and share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas without the fear of being put down and ridiculed.  I know most people out there truly just want a place to turn to so they can get some answers and solutions that will ease their fears. 

So here are some ideas on how to do this:

• So my request is to comment without tearing someone down.  

• If you must give a negative comment, then do constructive criticism (Tell someone a negative comment, in a nice way, and then give a solution on how to improve or make things better.)

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.”

This has me really aggravated because I post so many links all the time.

It would be GREAT if the default option was "display in a new window" which is how most of us want to display it.  It isn't.  Why not.  I have to remember to change it every time or else when people try to return to the post they'll go completely out of the system unless they use the back arrow.

Who else is with me on this?

Has anyone tried the DB fastpack weight loss system? What has been the success & downsides? I am a type 2 diabetic female over 60.

I have on several occasions accidentally hit cancel instead of post.  That's what I get for not paying attention to what I'm doing.  BUT, it would be a lot harder to do that if the cancel button weren't right smack dab next to the post button, like a little further to the side so you'd have to consciously go to a different position.  This is just a more "user friendly" request.

per a report from CDC I saw on the Internet a few months ago.

May I suggest that somebody from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) find out from CDC if it is a good idea to determine the success rate of these people. By success rate, I mean how long have they been drug free. Has anyone of them done better than the 21 years that I have been using exercise as my only anti-diabetes medication?

I am very much interested in this study because I strongly believe that type 2 diabetes can easily, safety, cheaply, effectively be controlled with the use of adequate daily physical and mental activities and the ingestion of only heart-healthy, natural, fresh (raw or cooked), unprocessed, and whole foods without taking into consideration the calorie count, the amount of carbohydrates eaten, and the glycemic index (GI) of foods.

Who am I? You can easily check me out if you google my name.
