I also have two other children without diabetes and I'd like to keep it that way. So, I seek guidance in the many diabetes headlines that are published each day. Let's take a peek at this week's breaking diabetes news headlines.

Have you had to do it all over again a second consecutive time when blood again fills the tube? How about a third time? All this while he's kicking and screaming? I'd say it slows us down a bit.)
