We are looking for the best (or most useful) diabetes books in your library. We are starting with a short survey on how many diabetes books have you read the last six months. If you are not a book reader, no worries, we will survey blogs, newspapers, magazines, portals and other useful media sources soon. If you have been at this for a while, let us know (in the comments) what is your favorite introduction book. If you are experienced in fitness or diet, share with us your “good book” selection for fitness and diet. The nice feature of the web, is all the open resources out there. The challenge is to find what is really useful. Searching an online shop like Amazon for “top selling diabetes book” may not give you the results you are expecting (try it, there are more cooking and diet books there than health or medicine). Here is the survey:
OK, now that you told us how much you read, we can get going on more specific questions. We are going to look for blogs and official internet resources you like. Do you have a good government publication or site? (FDA, CDC?) If your health care group offer any tools to track your test results or report glucose levels to your doctor, is this a useful service? Do you keep track of diet and glucose reading on your Android or iPhone? (see “diabetes” search on Android market) We also would like to hear about the latest social media groups, pages and lists useful in tracking diabetes news. Are you active on Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In? Are the social networks useful in exchanging ideas and getting help? Can you ask a serious question and get a good answer? What are the commercial companies doing in the social medial world? OK, OK, enough! All good questions and all useful when it comes to keeping informed, moving forward and sharing the experience. This is a new blog, so we are unproven, give us a second and third look and we will keep you connected and motivated — THANKS !
