Thumbs up DLife

So on my TV Guide - I usually see this show called DLife - a show about Diabetes. Everytime I sit down to watch it or set my PVR to record it - its never on - its always some stock show on CNBC.
The other day i decided to check out their website.

Diabetes | Type 1 Diabetes | Type 2 Diabetes

I have to say it is a really great site, lots of information and great videos about Diabetes, from 101 stuff to celebs with the D.

I'm sure alot of you have already checked it out - but for those who are new'ish to the D like myself, I highly recomend it.
They have alot of videos, and clips on there, along with lots of recipes.

Good post and I have actually managed to watch the show a few times... a great, down-to-earth attitude and their catch phrase, "Test... Don't Guess!"

I watch Dlife each Sunday evening...I love it! I've gotten a lot of good food ideas....and free meters from this show. Also, I think its great to see all the "famous" people dealing with the same things we do. I wish it were a full hour show.

I get both e-mails and regular mailings from them. I always recommend it to my diabetic friends, but so far, none have tuned in.

Same as Princess Linda, I watch it on cable.
check your time listing, it's rarely pre-empted here.
