I have set a date, time and place for a Tennessee gathering. Check out the events page for October 11th, or see the Tenn Diabetics group for more information.

I feel your pain about needing prescriptions... and what makes me even madder is the fact that the insurance companies actually rule when it comes to approving/denying drugs... anywhere from the dosage to the specific drug (generic or name brand), etc. Why do we even need to go to the doctor if the insurance co. mandates our medications!? whew... I feel better. thanks for letting me vent!

Hello Jay,

Sorry to hear your difficulties with the medical system. It's frustrating. I work in that system and know how hard it is to change thinking. I've tried to circumvent those roadblocks by working outside the system when necessary. My effort at invovation took hold with my type-2 diabetes website and educational DVD (www.healthdoc.org). I added a link to TuDiabetes so that my patients can benefit from the excellent networking here. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I hope it helps.

Hello Jay,
I'm Bill Martin and I think we may have some common interests. I and the lady I'd like to marry both have type 2 diabetes and are looking for recipes so we can continue cooking to live. I am interested in getting a copy of your book to read and after that if I like it maybe even helping you market and sell it. I am a computer consultant with over 20 years experience working with computers and I've also become an entrepreneur along the way. I've starte a few companies and have a few sites out there. Feel free to check out
www.3rdEyeRadio.com
www.3rdEyeRadio.ning.com
www.veoh.com/channels/3rdEyeRadio
martin-edwards.com
infobro.com
asalh.net

to name a few that I've either created myself or work for as clients as in the case of ASALH. I saw the value of social networks years ago and have really just now started to take advantage of it as I've now got some music and interviews with interesting people I think are worthy of sharing. I'd really like to do an interview with you and post it on my ning, veoh, google, and soon to include youtube sites.

Please take a look at the 3rdEyeRadio sites especially as I'm looking to get as much feedback as possible to help with my long term vision of working with you and others who may be like minded.

How Do We Prepare, Understand and Act?

Consider some of today’s hit TV shows i.e. Extreme Makeover,The Big Give, The Law of Attraction etc. with each demonstrating the transformational power of giving and thinking about giving.
