There used to be something called Diabetes Action.  Not sure if it was a 
group or news letter.  It clicks in my mind!

I was one of the monirators on the email list for the Diabetic division when 
the email list first got started and that went down the drain, too.  The 
newsletter with all the great articles which was being distributed through 
out the world was stopped because of costing NFB too much money to print and 
distribute.  It definitely was a resource for information for Diabetics.  Ed 
Brient was the President and editor of the Diabbetic division and magazine.
I can't remember what the magazine was called, but someone in CT won the 
contest to name the magazine.  I served on the Diabetic division as a board 
member, secretary and First Vice President.

The times I have talked with the president of the division, they do not do 
much outside of national convention. I was able to talk with him regarding a 
talking meter but they no longer have a division newsletter or magazine.

Check with the NFB and see what material they have.  I know they have or are 
creating a diabetic division.  Check with Sharon Maneki from MD.  Not sure 
if it was state wide or division wide.
410-715-9596

Good luck to both of you.
God Bless from Terry, Henry and Sophie

FYI,

The diabetes education classes are NOT accessible They talk through about 
half the material but you are sent home with printed material and the 
customized portion is only in printed material. I asked about digital 
versions and was told that is not available (they get it off a computer so I 
really don't understand why they can't make it accessible to me).

They keep asking me to take these classes and I have begged them to put it 
in the file that it is NOT accessible.

All of my education is done from what I can find online to educate myself.
And the biggest problem we have is that you can find renal diets and 
diabetic diets but not a combination so you still have to do it on your own.
(FYI, renal diets will put diabetics in a coma.)

That is what I am seriously thinking about.

Right now I don't want any surgery done until I get in pthis Thursday at 2 
PM] to see my endocrinologist and then March 1 go back to my medical doctor.

I am back, but will take a few days off.  I went in for the surgery and my
blood sugar was too low, so they sent me home.    I did get a bit excited as
the surgeon came in and said well we will just sweeten her up a bit.  He 
went out and the anesthiologist or whatever she is came back to say she 
refuses to do it.  I said start an IV and give me some glucose.  She 
refused.  She wanted the nurse to get me something before I left.  I had put 
my jacket on and was about to walk out of the room and the nurse came 
running in and handed me a small can.  I took it and walked out and while 
walking down the hall I asked my son what was it a can of?  Hee told me diet 
Coke.  Now they are all idiots and I don't think I will go there for surgery 
for anything.  They all need a lesson in diabetes.  I am sure I wasn't the 
first diabetic that has walked in their door for surgery.
