01 Where's the FAQ? (misc.health.diabetes)




Description

This article is from the Diabetes FAQ, by Edward Reid edward@paleo.org with numerous contributions by others.

01 Where's the FAQ? (misc.health.diabetes)

This FAQ attempts to answer the questions which have been most frequently
asked in misc.health.diabetes (m.h.d). This is not a complete informational
posting. My only criterion for inclusion is that the topic has frequently
appeared in m.h.d, either by an explicit question, or implicitly by posting a
related question or a common misconception.

This FAQ is posted biweekly to the Usenet newsgroup misc.health.diabetes.
If you obtained this article by some method other than reading Usenet,
refer to the section on "Online resources: diabetes-related newsgroups"
for brief information on how to obtain access to Usenet newsgroups and
misc.health.diabetes in particular.

Feel free to make copies of this FAQ for your personal use or for a friend or
relative, including to share with health care providers. If you want to make
this FAQ available to others on an ongoing basis (for example, on a BBS),
please do *not* post or copy the entire FAQ. Instead, post only this section,
entitled "Where's the FAQ?". This will enable others always to retrieve the
most recent version.

I have removed the outdated informational posting on insulin pumps.

An informational posting on diabetes-related software is posted to m.h.d at
the same time as this FAQ. See below for retrieval information. It was
developed and is maintained by Rick Mendosa <mendosa(AT)mendosa.com>.

I've used ideas and information from many people in writing this FAQ. With a
few exceptions I haven't attempted to identify them, but I thank them all.
The words herein are mine unless otherwise credited.

If you read this and it helps you, please let me know what part helped, and
why. If you read this and can't find what you want, let me know that too.
Such comments will help me decide what is worth working on, and whether.
You'd be surprised how little feedback I get. If you are reading this on the
newsgroup, just reply to this article. If you found this on the web, send
email to <edward@paleo.org>.

it only offers the simplest retrieval capability.
