13 August - Number crunching

OK, 80 mil Germans and 300 mil Americans times the prevalence in both countries equals how many diabetics in comparitive numbers? 140 million euro spent on diabetes in Germany and 90 billion spent in the US is about the same according to my adviser... really? What mathematical manipulative did you use to deduce that??? 15 euro for insulin in Germany and 150 dollars in the US... 4 dollars for this medication and 1 euro in Germany... Ahhhhhhhh!

You would think Skylar had gone weeks without his computer by the way he has been glued to it since we got back from the bike trip. Sometimes I get him to take breaks by playing Skip-Bo or something, but wow.
