About Us

My family has a lengthy history of diabetes, including both Type 1 and Type 2.

Diabetes Well Being was created to provide a wealth of knowledge about diabetes, particularly information that is not necessarily discussed in clinical settings. The content is driven by what people with diabetes want to learn.

How do I know what you want to learn about? Simple.

Each article is crafted around specific searches that people with diabetes and their loved ones are looking for on the Internet. I am not telling you what you should be looking to learn. Instead, you are telling me!

What this means is that I seek to be responsive to you and your needs. Not the needs of a pharmaceutical company or large bureaucratic organization. Each of these entities have their place, I simply choose to offer a different perspective. Yours!

I am not a health care professional. Nonetheless, I do strive to provide accurate and appropriate citations to all sources used to compile the articles. I have been researching and writing professionally for well over 10 years.

My goal is to write the articles in a straight forward, easy to read format for complex diabetes subjects. Thus, I look to simplify and remove much of the "medical speak" that often talks over the head of the reader.

If you have any comments or suggestions about how I can improve our site, please let me know.

We hope you like our site!
