Heading Into Summer: Keep Your Insulin, Epinephrine, and Glucagon Cool
If you’re like me, you’re on the go all the time. I often feel like a sherpa with the supply backpack: carrying diabetes and allergy supplies along with allergen-free food.

Great Job, Waze! Love Your New Child Safety Feature
I love Waze for navigation. It recommends routes based on traffic patterns, allows me to opt for carpool/HOV choices, and alerts me to road hazards. Beyond that, a new feature allows you to set a reminder to check for your kid upon arrival.
