Number 31; February 19, 2002

This newsletter keeps you up-to-date with new articles, columns, and Web pages that I have written. I list and link most of these on my Diabetes Directory at www.mendosa.com/diabetes.htm

From time to time Diabetes Update may also include links to other Web pages of special interest.

My most recent contributions are:

• The First Year—Type 2 Diabetes
  My current "About the Internet" column for the American Diabetes Association's Web site reviews Gretchen Becker's great new book, The First Year—Type 2 Diabetes. While the book aims at the newly diagnosed, it's full of information for everyone with this condition. Leavened with Gretchen's good humor, this book is comprehensive and up-to-date while remaining easy to read. The URL is

• Dominating Diabetes—People Who Are Finding the Way
  I have been writing a series of articles for the DiabetesWATCH Web site about people who have succeeded in keeping their blood glucose levels low. How low is low? For the purpose of these articles I have defined it as a hemoglobin A1c test of 6.0% or lower.

  For legal and technical reasons, the site has only published one article to date, http://www.mendosa.com/hocking.htm. Because of the long delays in getting these articles published, the site has authorized me to make two of these articles available on my Web site:

  1. Carl S. Lau is a dentist in Los Angeles who believes in quality rather than quantity. He eats nothing but the best food and very little carbohydrate. The URL is http://www.mendosa.com/lau.htm

  2. Derek Paice is a research engineer in Florida who has published his diabetes research findings. He makes as good a use of the glycemic index as anyone I know. The URL is http://www.mendosa.com/paice.htm

  Announcement:

  You may still submit your questions for next edition of Diabetes Forecast - Live! featuring an interview with blues legend B.B. King. It's today, Tuesday, February 19, at http://www.diabetesforecastlive.com.

  Diabetes Forecast - Live! is a monthly webcast sponsored by the American Diabetes Association and the HealthTalk Diabetes Education Network. Hear about Mr. King's experience with diabetes plus get tips from experts on how to improve your diabetes management and lead a fuller life with diabetes.

  Boilerplate:

  I send out Diabetes Update e-mail in HTML format, which all Web browsers and most modern e-mail programs can display. HTML has live links to all the sites named in the text so that with a simple click of a mouse you can connect to the site you have just been reading about.

  This newsletter is free and will never include advertising. Nor will I ever sell, rent, or trade your e-mail address to anyone without your permission.
