SOLD!

Category : General

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.

This blog is sup­posed to be about Infor­ma­tion, Atti­tude and a Sys­tem That Works. I write about infor­ma­tion and atti­tude all the time but I have not writ­ten much here (if at all) about the actual “sys­tem that works”.

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

Insulin Pens: Everything You Need To Know

Category : Insulin Therapy

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

Diabetic Foot Care: Prevent Diabetic Foot Infections With A Foot Care Kit

Category : General

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

Continuous Blood Glucose Monitors: Better Than A Meter?

Category : Glucose Monitors and Testing Your Blood Sugar

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
