With Health 2.0 Conf behind us, we just have to say that we had a blast and have to thank Matthew and Indu for putting on such a great production.

Our only regret is that it was a bit short (one day) but the info, networking and overall energy was amazing. We want to thank all of you who came and that we were able to talk to.

We’re positive many fruitful initiatives will come out of the relationships made at Health 2.0. Hopefully next time we’ll have at least 2 days or at least a 2nd day just for un-conference networking.

Here is a pretty good video overview of the conference with some interviews by the icyou.com team:

Thanks again to everyone who we met and who was able to come out and make the conference. We look forward to seeing you all next time too

Apparently so, according to this new study:

“While it is believed the development of type-1 diabetes has some hereditary influences, research also suggests environmental factors—including diet—play a role. Researchers from The Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes in Aurora, Colo. report a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids may be associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic islet autoimmunity, a condition associated with the development of type-1 diabetes.”

The “Know Your A1C” campaign represents the first ever national public education campaign supported by a coalition of leading nonprofit diabetes organizations, including the ADA, JDRF, American Association of Diabetes Educators and the National Council of La Raza.
