May is here, and so is another edition of the American Diabetes Wholesale Newsletter! We tackle another important topic this week with the article “Diabetes and Depression.” Depression affects millions of Americans, and diabetes may have additional adverse effects on the condition. People who are prone to depression might have a higher risk of developing diabetes, and diabetics themselves are prone to becoming depressed as well. Check out this article for more details.

American Diabetes Wholesale’s Product Spotlight this week deals with our line of Diabetic Foot Creams. The skin conditions of diabetics can be especially tough on the feet, so it is important to make sure your feet are in tip-top shape. With items such as PediSof-D Diabetic Foot Cream, DiabetiDerm Foot Rejuvenating Cream and Neoteric Diabetic Skin Care Oxygenated Advanced Healing Cream you’ll find affordable quality ways to take care of your feet!

So with only two finals to go, a little interuption has taken place. I’m sure a lot of you have already heard on the news about the shooting that occurred last night at my college, Florida Atlantic University in south Florida. Campus is still on lock down and that means no classes, which means no finals. What a way to add to the stress I am under already. Luckily, nobody was injured and good thing I decided not to try and pull an all nighter at the library last night because it was locked down until 5 a.m. I feel bad for the students who are scheduled to graduate on this Friday, because they may have finals today and tomorrow and who knows when those will be rescheduled for.

I know this isn’t too much of a “diabetic blog”, but I just wanted to talk about the new emergency alert system that our school, FAU, has put into place. After the Va Tech shootings they were designing a new alert system, and I would say it was successful. Within 2 minutes police were on the scene, a campus wide siren was sounding, along with a PA announcement throughout the whole campus alerting students to stay indoors. E-mails and posts on the website were sent right away. Good thing for Facebook also, because it was all over there within minutes. I may have harsh feelings against FAU right now for cancelling the summer class I needed because of budget cuts, but if this is where the money went, then it was money well spent in my eyes.
