I'm very worried about him. He's four years younger than me and has been
T2 for at least 20 years. He's on a couple of meds, might be shooting
insulin, but his BG numbers suck. His FBG was 167 today and one or one
and a half hour PP was close to 300. He doesn't worry about it! He is the
most pig-headed person I've ever known. He's in CT and I'm in CA,
otherwise I'd be able to have more effect on him. He saves all my emails,
but I think they must be in Write Only Memory!

He's not on Usenet, so can't get this group. Two questions:

1. What are some web sites that might wake him up?

My current favourite

http://www.dsolve.com/content/view/155/59/

How Tos written by a genuine doctor so pass the Kurt Test Of Approval

http://www.medscape.com/viewprogram/145

now quite old but an excellent overview of Diabetic Progression

2. What's a free, easy to install and use, newsreader that he could use
to get a.s.d?

http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php

Free for the first month and if he likes it $29

Very tweakable but might be too complex

I simply never bothered with anything else, I think it's cost me about
$50 over 15 years . . .
