There are some very exciting projects the JDRF has been involved in leading to improved treatment techniques and insulin delivery. One of the most promising the "Artificial Pancreas" development, http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=2458B97B-1279-CFD5-A70D0580F67A16A9 which is a joint project between the JDRF and Animas Corporation.
About the Artificial Pancreas Project
JDRF's artificial pancreas project stands on the cusp of a breakthrough that represents the first step toward dramatically improving the lives of millions of people with type 1 diabetes: an artificial pancreas, an automated system to disperse insulin based on real-time changes in blood sugar levels.... Full detail about the project can be found at: http://www.artificialpancreasproject.com/
To Learn more about the inspiration for the Cyclebetes National Relay team, you can read all about the original Team H2V 2007, historic and record breaking coast to coast ride at: http://www.teamh2v.com/index.php?content=overview.
Personally:
Training: Indoor training is going well so far, current focus is on slowing increasing my cardio endurance level, partly by teaching myself to go a little slower but for a longer period, boring but thank goodness for the "Cardio Theater" never been more up to date in the news, sports or the View:) Doing 2 to 3 sessions a week of circuit strength building as well, just to stabilize the joints and be prepared for some of those Nova Scotia and New Brunswick hills.
We continue to gather some prizes for the first raffle that should be getting going in the next couple of weeks. (I know I said that last week...). Thanks to my gym Burnside Nubody's http://www.nubodysfitness.com/ for the donation of a three month membership, which will be included as part of the prize package.
Any comments or suggestions for or about the blog please feel free to send them through. If you have questions I will answer as I can.
All the best
Stephen
