The Details on Diabetes: A Six Week Journey

I sat down the other day and started to write a post about diabetes. The more I researched the more “subtopics” I came up with and I realized that it would take several posts to cover all of the main topics. That’s when it came to me that I could really turn this into  an event. So, with the help of the super smart and resourceful Rachel, I found some experts, some prizes and some great information. Over the next six weeks – every Saturday – we will have an article from a guest author.

Here is what you have to look forward to:

Week 1 – May 1st, 2010 – DIABETES: What’s in a name? by Brandy Barnes. At last a concise answer to the question: What’s the difference between type 1 and type 2.
