With all the diabetes websites available on the internet, why does diabetes have to be so tricky to figure out? Why are most diabetes websites so complicated? As a certified diabetes educator (CDE) and mom to a child with Type I diabetes, I too am confused by a lot of the diabetes info online. (Really!)
Basic information like target blood sugar levels and how to use a glucometer are bogged down with wordy sentences and NO pictures! I am a visual learner, along with about 80% of the population, so I love pictures when I am learning. You know the old saying " a picture is worth a thousand words", well they are right! So with that in mind, I decided to start my own website designed to "keep it simple" "easy". Music to my ears and to anyone living with diabetes or caring for a loved one with diabetes.
Diabetes is enough work on its own, never-mind making it difficult and confusing to understand. I hope you like my website. I will be adding more materials each week, but hopefully daily. To all the people touched by Diabetes, you are not alone.
