MY husband and I own a restaurant, and his passion is in the kitchen. I just printed this up for him, he'll love to see it. Thanks for the info.

Cool, I wonder if he'll talk about it at all. I love Project Runway and Top Chef will be taking it's place next week, this may give me a reason to check it out.

I like it! I wonder if he could share some cool diabetic recipes. It is sooo crazy how I excited I get whenever I meet or hear of someone with type 1 - it must be some kind of reassurance thing.? Before my daughter was diagnosed I never knew (or so I think?) anyone with type 1 but now my world is so centered around it. Thanks for sharing the article.
