This website is about helping people with diabetes. Effective diabetes treatment requires three essentials: (1) good, accurate, up-to-date information, (2) the right attitude, and (3) a system that puts it all together and makes it work. If any of these is missing, the other two parts will not work as well, and may possibly not work at all. The purpose of this website is to help put all three keys for diabetes treatment in your hands.

Information

Obviously if you lack accurate and up-to-date information, you will not be able to treat and control your diabetes no matter how good your attitude or how perfect your system. Fortunately, this most important of the three essentials is available in abundance to nearly everyone who needs it. You can find it at your local library and bookstore, on the Internet, and of course from your doctor.

There’s also my free report about the signs and symptoms of diabetes, what it is and what it does, called, “What You Need to Know About Diabetes”. The free report includes some of my personal story dealing with diabetes and a heart attack. It is excerpted from my book, “Take Your Life Back!”, which covers the full system for diabetes treatment. You can also keep in touch and up to date by subscribing to the CDL Newsletter (sure, it’s free).

Attitude

Controlling diabetes takes the right attitude and a high degree of determination. The right attitude doesn’t mean you feel happy all the time, nor that you necessarily feel happy at all. It isn’t about feelings or moods or emotions.  It’s about a commitment and a mindset, that no matter what — no matter what you feel or your mood — you are determined to do whatever you must to take control of your diabetes and not let it control you.

Developing the right attitude is not easy, and unlike information you cannot purchase it at the store or download it from the Internet. It must be pursued and nurtured, while those things that lead to a poor attitude need to be resisted. One of the aims of this website is to help you develop the right attitude. A key to the right attitude is confidence. You must cultivate confidence in yourself, confidence in the soundness of your information, and confidence in the third essential ingredient to diabetes treatment, your system.

A System That Works

Elsewhere on this site I describe several particular approaches to diabetes treatment that typify systems that do not work, or work poorly. What you need is a goal-oriented system that puts all the elements together — of glucose monitoring and control, diet for diabetes, exercise, medicines and insulin, as well as so many other aspects to diabetes control — with a system of rewards and time management (so you have more time for your life and the rewards to enjoy it). One of the major benefits of a system like the one I advocate is that you can adapt it for any area of life: academic, business and career, finances, relationships — anything!

These three keys: good information, the right attitude, and a system that works, will open the way to successful diabetes treatment.
