Hi all,
I have joined this group because of my interest in Diabetes. Even though I am not diabetic, most of my relatives (maternal) are, so I try to get all the information I can and also share what I have learned.
I hope we have many fruitful discussions.

Hi Winston and Welcome. 
I think it's great that you want to learn all you can to help your family members. Jump in anywhere and ask any questions you may have. One of my former bosses told me this years ago and it still holds true: "The only stupid question is the one not asked". Please feel free to share your experiences with us. We would love to hear what your family members have learned to do.

| | Hey Winston
Welcome to the Forum. It sure is nice to see family members interested in learning about diabetes. I have family members who actually HAVE diabetes 2 like I do and they are in denial or something because they don't want to learn or do anything about it. So it's great to see you here.  GOOD on you !
