Hello,
My name is Christine and I just joined. I am a Registered Dietitian
and Diabetes Educator. I became very interested in Diabetes when my
father was diagnosed with Type 2 several years ago.
It looks like you cover a good variety of diabetes topics. I hope I
can add to your group by answering questions to help support the day
to day management of diabetes.

Welcome.
I look forward to our future discussions. It will be great
to have a qualified person to bounce our ideas off.
I do hope you enjoy spirited debate, and don't become easily
offended. Be aware that we can be a wary bunch; we do see
all types here. Real - and unreal. So, nothing personal, but
we tend to ask people who claim to have qualifications for
some support for that. Of course, you don't have to do
anything; just letting you know what will be coming along.
I also hope that you are aware of the nature of usenet and
can filter out the spam, kooks, twits and other junk and
still glean the pearls of wisdom that can be found here.
While you wait for the others you'll get some idea of my
personal views on diabetes diet here:

I would be interested in a qualified opinion on that. Of
course, I'm only speaking for myself; others here may hold
different views.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

You may be interested in the other worthwhile diabetes newsgroups
in English:
alt.support.diabetes
alt.food.diabetic
alt.support.diabetes.uk
You might want to read this to get some idea of what they're saying:

Avoid answering Chung, unless you want many of the diabetics to
stop reading anything you post.

Hello Christine,
ASD and MHD have been excellent newsgroups for me. I hope you do provide
input here, but also learn from the many people who have researched diabetes
thoroughly.
