| | | Anyone else seriously irritated by dLife?
I feel like this show is geared toward people either very newly diagnosed, or lacking in the gray mass area. Anyone else agree?
I feel like it is just getting into the story and it ends. It hits the surface, then deflects to like nothing.
And one person will say one thing, then another person will contradict it (example from today's: "2/3rds of diabetics die from heart or stroke" other guy: "Yes, 3/4s or diabetics die from heart disease" grrrrr). And the whole thing feels so staged. |

| | | I've DVRed every show but yet to watch most of them. I do get irritated with them as well. Many times they interview a famous person about their life. Personally, I don't give a **** about anyone famous and diabetes. I want to hear about average people that overcame problems or situations in everyday life. Not how joe blow played pro-NBA and was given 10 million to sponsor diabetes awareness.

| | | This season seems to run clips from their older shows. I have watched many that I remember seeing last year or whenever. I am not as impressed with it as I was when it first hit TV, and I don't bust my *** to watch it any longer.

| | | Although I haven't seen DLife in a bit, I still like the show a lot. I learned of frozen shoulder on DLife while my diabetic orthopedic specialist had no clue...

| | | We should do our own webcast of our own diabetic show. I have the equipment for it.
Maybe vegas can be the first show as the kick off. Then have people submit video for new shows. |

| | | I hate to admit it, but I did (do?) joined their online group when i first was searching for support. I noticed there is not much activity at times and I have learned more being here than there. So I very seldom visit the other site now, and when I do, I notice the same posts are there. |
