Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I posted. Sorry about that. Life is getting hectic around here. Family situations. I really have not had time to put into the website.
I just finished answering an email where I explained some of what’s going on to one CDFL’s readers. I guess now is as good a time as any to let the rest of you know about it too. So here’s most of what I said in the email:
The Control Diabetes For Life website and its materials have been sold to a new owner. I sold it to the guy who taught me all about Goals, Means and Measures. I think the whole thing is being renovated in ways (much better ways) that I never thought of doing. Everything is being moved around and stuff.
It looks like the (recently created) Facebook page (even the whole Facebook account) is closed, but a new site is being set up. I am sure the new site will be much better. What I’ve seen so far looks good.
I just don’t have time anymore to keep up with Control Diabetes For Life. You should receive notice when the new site opens. I hope you’ll like it and get lots of benefit from it. The new owner is pretty cool. He’s a type 2 and manages it pretty well.
Well, that’s it. There’s a certain sense of sadness at turning this work over to someone else. But mostly a sense of relief, since I just have too much life going on right now and for the foreseeable future. And hey, I got paid good money for it too.
Thanks everyone. I’m sure I’ll pop in at the new place from time to time. Thanks for everything.

If you’ve been following my posts in this series, you should already understand how important it is to set goals. Now we want to make your goals “SMART”.
S-M-A-R-T is a well-known acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-oriented.
For example, set a specific weight as your goal. Don’t just intend to “lose weight” if you are overweight. Use the BMI chart to help find… Continue reading

And it does. I use this system to achieve all sorts of things I need and want in life, chief of which is control of my diabetes – my weight… Continue reading

Instead of fumbling around with syringes and bottles of insulin, you can fumble around with an insulin pen. Just kidding. An insulin pen – sometimes called a pen syringe, injection pen or simply, pen – can be a more accurate and convenient delivery system of insulin into your bloodstream.
Pens are quite popular among diabetics, being used extensively in most countries… Continue reading

Tags: diabetic feet, stay healthy
Do you have a diabetic foot care kit? Diabetics often have serious problems with their feet. This is partially because you can lose sensation in the nerves around this area (diabetic foot neuropathy). You may be unaware of blisters, cracks and wounds that develop.
If unattended, small wounds like these can exacerbate into severe complications such as gangrenes and ulcers… Continue reading
If you don’t like pricking your finger or arm three to ten times a day then a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) may be a good alternative.
The CGM is not a complete replacement for your glucose meter, but an added protection against extreme high or low blood sugars, and a good way to monitor the trends and fluctuations of… Continue reading
