New Diabetes Links Added

By Alevoor Rajagopal

I have been scouting for some informative web sites for my diabetic fraternity. It was not very difficult finding a few. But I had certain things in mind.

1. Any one that has diabetes can search a web site himself
2. Google has 90,100,000 results for diabetes
3. Add to it other top SEs another similar figure

How will any one decide which one is a good site and which contains reasonably authoritative information on diabetes? Sample this. When I set out to do this myself, sometimes ago, I was frustrated by by certain programs called as web robots. They are as it appeared to me are just virtual programs to show ads by google page after page.

Well. I think there are quite a few more better sites on diabetes information on the web. Here I have just tried to give a small list of themthat really contain information on diabetes, I have personally used, to complement your favorite this very site.

You will find the list I made on the side bar here, just below the google search engine and the block of useful links. I have named it Diabtes Network. This makes it easy for new visitors to understand what they get if they clicked.

Know Your Diabetes

By Alevoor Rajagopal

Appeal: I call upon readers to contribute to hope4diabetes, my blog.

A thoughtful man/woman will do himself or herself a world of good. And if we confine this argument to diabetes, I say this is not as difficult as managing your business but surely diabetes needs you do some pampering. We will see hows and whats of this.

Some where in my earlier posts I had said diabetes brings discipline to ones life. You need to watch your every step. Morning till evening you are on guard against what increases your glucose artificially or something that threaten to shoot up your chance of accumulating cholestrol. Stand firm against the pulls of your friends and mouth watering dishes.

Still there is hope4diabetes if you know yours. To do this you can write down the physical changes you see in youself. This you can do in a diary dedicated to your diabetes. You can continue your dairy even after the year has ended. Say, what all you can write in to this? Well this is a tricky one if you are a new diabetic. To begin with, the sugar levels FPS and PPBS against the date. You can also have a remarks column. If you thought, a particular incidence had triggered a glucose imbalance on that day, do note it down there. You can write down the insulin dose/drug dose there depending on whether yousis Type 1 diabetes ot Type 2 diabetes.

It is not a bad idea to include a columnfor noting the low sugars too, this however can be done in the remarks column. But it strikes you bold when you are analysing in retrospect. It makes a quick reference.

It pays to have a record of your diabetes in this manner. You can very well carry this dairy in your pocket too. It sure does carry your address with your home and emergency telephones. You can also include your doctor's cell number, just in case.

I have writtenn much without uttering a word about knowing more about diabetes. But this was not the intention. It is important to know diabetes is a life long as well as life threatening disease. And what better way to know it than begining with its history within you.

Diabetes and My Wife

By Alevoor Rajagopal

If you had been following this diabetes series, here is the continuation. I promise to end this here. I just had to tell you about what crossed my wife when she saw improvement in my diabetes. And what doctors had to say.

Well. Doctors just gave a smile and shoved the report at me. That was enough for my wife to heave a sigh. It releived me more than the test report or the doctor's smile. Well it had not cured my diabetes. But it was enough for me to take some liberty regarding my eating habits. But this was not to live long as I discovered.

Wife looked down upon me from the edge of her eyes at my hinting that we have dinner at a restaurant. She said it was only the report of my past control and not an insurance for the future. She also made it clear that it was she who controled my blood glucose, not me.

I thought I could tame diabetes well and would sure fail if I had to control ... ahem ... I don't understand, why the wives of the world don't realize their husbands' merry moods and freedoms. Some times you don't understand certain things in life (wife?). Perhaps this is one of the nature's best kept secrets.
