Thank you Dr. Kimaku and Dr. Likness for helping us out! Our patients and community members appreciated having the doctors there to answer all of their diabetic questions!
Medtronic was one of our 9 vendors that was present at the diabetes fair. Here are a few of our patients checking out the insulin pump products.
We are looking forward to doing another one in the fall with featured speaker(s)….stay tuned for details then!

TRIPLE MOVE–Lie on your back with your knees bent first and resting on the ball. Press your feet into the ball and lift your hips until your body is completely straight from head to foot. While balancing one foot on top of the ball, bring the opposite knee toward your chest, the return. Bring the other knee toward your chest, then return. Then return to the starting position on the floor. Keep repeating.
PUSH-UPS with BALL–Rest your legs, knees, shins, or toes on the ball, and then either hold for up to 1 minute, or do regular push-ups as you are able.

Our diabetes fair last week was a great success! Thank you to all who attended! We had multiple booths offering great information about diabetes supplies, self care, medications, etc. Diabetes is a complex disease that requires constant care and attention to prevent long term side affects. Since science is always changing, this was a great opportunity to share with our patients and community members new ideas, materials and concepts for diabetes management. This photo is of Dr. Dan sharing his knowledge at our booth. I will be showing more photos in my next few posts.

Here Sarah is with the kids at the Breast Cancer run yesterday. Great gathering in support of Breast Cancer, and for moms in general. The kids learn from us on staying active, so parents…start setting the tone if you have not already. And as for Moms, regardless of what Dads may think, you are the one in charge…Lead by example! As for me…
…I learned from the best. We spent yesterday in SF with the family, celebrating Mothers Day, and My parents anniversary which is May 10…it will be 56 years for them together. As I stated above, my mom set the tone, and leads by example. Thanks for everything Mom!

Great day today…The 2011, 23rd Annual Avera Breast Cancer Run. 6,200 people. Great weather, no winds, and family. We were all out in support for Breast Cancer…and awareness, and in particular for our sister-in-law, Joni–A breast cancer survivor. Here we all our as our team for her, the Pink Panthers…
It was a great start to a weekend, and then with it being Mothers Day, got to spend it with my parents as well. Until tomorrow…
