Good Information

This is good basic information. If you are a person living with diabetes, either type 1, type 2, or a caregiver, I suggest checking out the dLife web site at www.dlife.com. It has a collection of 1000's of diabetes recipes that make finding something good to eat much easier. Best part? They are free and they add new ones all the time.

Viitamin D and Type-One

Thanks to Dr. Peters for all of her fine work. I'm a volunteer with the JDRF. I just wanted to share a piece of information that I discovered regarding Vitamin D. A Finnish Medical study (publshed in The Lancet,2001) suggests that adequate Vitamin D supplementation might reduce the frequency of the disease. Today, it is univerasally accepted that expectant mother should receive folic acid to prevent birth defects. Perhaps Vitamin D supplementation should be seen in the same light, particularly in countries located in the high-north.

Word-Wraping of your introductory paragraph

For some reason the text in the opening paragraph is not word-wrapping properly, so the reader has to scroll to the right to read it.

It is not wrapping properly in IE and Firefox web browsers.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Thanks for your knol,

Michael
