In the book I was recommended to read 'The First Year', they highly
recommend misc.health.diabetes as the newsgroup to garner info.
alt.support.diabetes is just a lot of medicaleeze and people posting their
daily BG numbers (sorry, I have enough to worry about taking my own) and
although I understand the medicaleeze, to quote Joe Friday, 'Just the Facts,
Ma'am'....the former, mhd, may have been okay in the beginning, but like rfc
it is getting hard to find what you are looking for in amongst all the 'buy
these cheapass sneakers from China' and 'I got good loving from this
website' posts. I suggested to Andy that we might want to form our own
little support group here among ourselves as we actually cook and understand
more than the average bear with a high BG about measuring and planning and
cooking to taste. Not a separate newsgroup, but just a group of us who can
email each other with an 'attaboy' when needed or a shoulder to cry on.

Hey Cathy, just to get some sort of count....maybe a survey? Are you
diabetic? Then the follow up, Type 1 or Type 2.
