BDP 064 | Just Diagnosed with Diabetes – Start Here




Blogging Diabetes Podcasts with Tony Rose show

Summary: <a href="http://bloggingdiabetes.com/BDPitunes"></a>In this episode of the Blogging Diabetes Podcast I cover one of the hardest questions I get asked.  Since I've been asked many times I thought it would be a good opportunity to spend some time answering it so I can point people in the future to this podcast to start. Question: ____ was just diagnosed with diabetes.  What resources or information could you give to him/her? There are SO MANY great websites, blogs and resources for those with diabetes.  It was difficult to name a short list and I left off many folks that honestly should be in the list.  One of the big issues I imagine with those diagnosed with diabetes now or in the future is information overload. I tried to keep the list short, but if anyone wants a specific resource that is much narrower in scope, please contact me.  Or, if you want more great people to talk to about diabetes just let me know and I can add to this short list. I apologize to the hundreds of people that I didn't list. This podcast is really intended to be a good starter resource about those newly diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. “Great resource for kids or adults just diagnosed with diabetes” Click to Tweet This Please add to my list or add any additional thoughts for those newly diagnosed in the comments below.  This podcast could really have easily been 3 hours long.  Feel free to pass this along if you get asked where to start with someone newly diagnosed. I hope you enjoy the episode and have a great weekend!
