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.

Wanted to say Hello

This is a marvelous tool. I think it will do well for me since I am NOT a diabetic, except when I have steroid induced diabetes from treatments for my asthma. Then, all of a sudden, I feel like I have been put on a rubber raft and pushed out into a river to go tubing, without oars. I learned what to do but it wasn't easy.
