You can get a lot of information from blogs, question and answers, messages etc.

Some information may be false and misleading. You should try to ignore them..

This forum is for pople with diabetics ( D ) problem. As you may be aware, D , which comes as a result of metabolic disorder coupled with wrong food habits, lack of adequate execises by itself is not a killer but when not under control, leads to severe complications to vital organs of body like, eyes, kidneys, extremities of the body and in some case sexual disfunctions. Diabetes is one of the frontier fields in medical science and research and this forum encourages people to share their own experiences, problems with people with similar concerns.

For those who may not be able to go through vast bank of literature available on nutrition, latest trends in diabetes management, this forum gives a glimpse of such research papers when writers write some blogs which should help the thought process of readers. As with all the public forums, there will be always some people with exteme views, some people with " one medicine -cure diabetes " approach and some snake oil merchants. It is left to reader's wise judgement to separate out "wheat from c...." as they say, and come to their own conclusions and judegements. Such an approach would be better for the readers as well as for the managers of this forum, which is doing a very good service to the vast majority of sufferes of diabetes.
