Hypoglycemia Alert Dogs Offer Assistance to People with Diabetes
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Glucose monitors, test strips, and lancets: people with diabetes are all too familiar with the equipment used to test their blood glucose (sugar) levels. Now some people are adding a different kind of aid to their diabetes management regimen. The March 2008 issue of Diabetes Forecast, the consumer magazine of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), features an article about assistance dogs that are trained to sense episodes of human hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose, and sound a life-saving alert. According to the article, these dogs seem to sense a dangerous drop in blood glucose before it begins, allowing the people they work with to prevent an episode altogether. Some dogs seem to sense high blood glucose, too.

But, let us not return to our nation's capital. The brush must be cleared and a bike ridden. And the nation's defense bill must be vetoed so there will be no lawsuits against the Iraqi government.The reality is the emperor has no clothes but his advisers compliment him on his wardrobe.

Expected revenues fall short in Rochester
All you've got to do is look around this city, look around the nation, and see what's happening."
Ward 1 Councilor Ray Varney said he expects the idea to be discussed at next month's meeting. "You've got to somehow get some additional revenue or reduce expenditures if you want to offset what you know to be losses."
The city administration hasn't called for a budget freeze, but the option hasn't been taken off the table. "We need to determine where we're at and really evaluate things," Finance Director Brian LeBrun said Thursday. "I'm not willing to use that term at the time, but it might happen."
To avoid going that route, LeBrun is going through budgets "with a fine-tooth comb" to see where there may be additional revenue or where there can be savings.
