One never knows when what a blogger
writes about will give you the clue or missing piece that will help
you with better management of your diabetes. That is why I am
writing about other type 2 bloggers that presently write for Health
Central. I generally enjoy reading their blogs even when I may
disagree with a statement they make. I hope that I can enlighten you
a bit about finding them and their past blogs.
I have spent time looking for other
type 2 bloggers writing for Health Central, but the only three I have
found and followed for several years include – David Mendosa,
Gretchen Becker, and Dr. Bill Quick. I have given you information on
David Mendosa so this blog will be about the other two. I have met
both David and Gretchen and enjoyed my conversation with them. Dr.
Bill Quick Is not one I have met, and I am not sure I ever will.
First, I would suggest joining the site
and then you may select those that you wish to follow and when they
post a new sharepost (as the site calls it); you will receive an
email that will allow you to go directly to the post. I admit that I
follow a couple of other bloggers that post fairly regular, but not
many.
I admit that I often disagree with Dr.
Quick and I know the reason. He is very solidly a person that
believes in clinical evidence and scientific evidence from random
controlled trials. Not being a person with medical training allows
me to make my own observations and decisions based on my experiences.
His latest blog can be found here. By clicking on his name (in blue
or light blue – depending on your browser), you will be taken to
his profile page. On the right side (for all posters) will be a
listing of posted shareposts. Or you may use this link and then you
will have a listing of shareposts and a brief description.
Gretchen's latest sharepost is here.
Follow the same information above or this link for the shareposts and
brief description. Enjoy reading any of the blogs and enjoy some of
the humor Gretchen sprinkles in from time to time. I like the humor
as some of us get too serious in our battle with diabetes and writing
about it to help other people.
Gretchen's last sharepost is titled
“Low-Carb Diets and Type 2 Diabetes.” It is very
much appreciated by me and I have read it a couple of times just to
let it sink in.
Dr. Quick's last sharepost is titled
“There's Always a First Shot for People with Diabetes.”
I will understand if it is something you do not want to read about
as I was not happy having to do multiple daily injections of insulin,
but after the first one, I was surprised that there was no pain.
Yes, I occasionally hit a nerve or a small blood vessel and have some
pain, but rest assured it is not that bad.
The latest on Dr. Quick says he is a type 1, but he still writes for all types. His latest as of today Dec 22 can be found here. It is titled "Diabetes Q&A, A day in the Life, Numbers, What to Eat."
