Welcome to our new blog about diabetes!

If you have recently learned that you are a diabetic, diagnosed with diabetes 2, or you have a loved one who has diabetes 1 or diabetes 2, please check out our main diabetes site for more in-depth information about diabetes

We will be covering a wide variety of diabetes related topics here in future blog posts.  For example, we will want to highlight some of the amazing recent advances in the treatment of diabetes and the potential for a possible cure of diabetes and diabetes related complications.

We will also want to focus on which foods a diabetic should eat and which foods they should avoid so that their blood glucose (“sugar”) levels will not spike completely out of control and increase the likelihood of them developing common diabetes complications.  

Perhaps the best place to start for those of you newly diagnosed with diabetes is to share Virginia’s heart-breaking story about a common diabetic complication that develops in many diabetics, proliferative "diabetic retinopathy," which can lead to blindness if insulin levels are not maintained at appropriate levels over time.

Please check back here for future blog posts, and you can also follow us here on Twitter

Have a wonderful day, and please try to control your blood sugars!
