Diabetes Pilot

If you have a Palm Pilot this is super software for logging and tracking what is going on with your diabetes.

You can import the data into either Excel or Word, which really impressed by Diabetes Educator.

Mayo Clinic's Website on Diabetes

Lots of good information. The more you know, the less out of control you feel. Or at least it works for me.

WebMD - Diabetes Message Boards

This is a good place to ask questions. You'll get responses from other people who have had a similar experience.

The Beginning

I've decided to set up a weblog, about my experiences and research into diabetes.

I was diagnosed on September 30, 2002

Needless to say, it was a life altering event.

I have been dealing with several other problems prior to the diabetes, many of them, I'm sure attributed:

Sleep Apnea
Restless Leg Syndrome
Gastric Reflux Disease

I'm quite sure there is a major genetic component since my father died of congestive heart failure at 48, and was diagnosed with diabetes before then. Both his parents were also diagnosed with diabetes.
