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. Unlike institutional messages of the past the underlying themes surrounding us today is aimed at changing how we think about ourselves, our surroundings, our relations and the methods we use to pursue “gains“. Consider the conversational rivers within the social web centric to “free” and how one can use “fre… Continue

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.

It is an honor to have you as a member of the TuDiabetes family, Jay!

Please help us spread the word about it. Would you consider writing a short bit about us on your blog? If you need ideas, here is a press release we put out not too long ago, when we hit the 2,000 member mark and our first anniversary.

Take care and let me know if I can do anything to help...

BTW, your A1C rocks! :)

Hello and welcom Jay. I hope you enjoy TuDiabetes as much as I have. You have been a diabetic for alot of years! That's a great A1c, by the way. I have been a diabetic for 22 years myself.
I see you are living in Hendersonville. I also live in TN. There are several groups here on the site that you can join. One is TN Diabetics that I created. We have about 20 members right now. I'm hoping for more. That way we might be able to meet and have an off-line support group at some point.
Come over and join us and introduce yourself!
