Hello Donna. It seems to be a good day for old faces to drop in.

How are you?


Up and down, Alan. Thanks for asking. Been working on trials with meds,
foods, exercise, and in general getting used to being a person with
diabetes rather than diabetes being all that I am.

Good point. In "working on trials with meds, foods, exercise" have you
been trying http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/new.php ?

I'd hate for someone to think this newsgroup has nothing to offer. Yeah, we
have to wade through Chung dung (one day I'll figure out how to finally
ignore him for good, but Xnews hasn't let that happen yet), but there is
wisdom to be had here.

I can't help there, I know nothing about Xnews. Consider spending the
few dollars to get Forte Agent. Works for me.

I just ordered Dr. Bernstein's book. Yay me!

I like Bernstein. I don't follow all his suggestions but I certainly
learned a lot of good common-sense advice from his book.

If you are in a mind to look at books I note a few other good ones
