This website, Diabetes.Blog.com, was started May 4, 2005, as a "blogcompanion" to our main website, the Diabetes Monitor. It is the mission of the Diabetes Monitor to
- Provide information about diabetes for patients and their families, and offer useful advice about the prevention and management of diabetic complications.
- Provide resources for patients, families, diabetes educators and other health care professionals.
- Support people with diabetes in their pursuit of quality of life.
Diabetes.Blog.com was originally conceived as a medium for Dr. Bill (the Medical Director of DiabetesMonitor.com) to express his personal opinions on controversial topics related to diabetes. However, it has evolved into a series of Discussion Forums about various aspects of diabetes, and has been the subject of an Abstract he submitted to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists: click here to read the abstract.
