Some Other Pages on David Mendosa's Web Site

"I especially want to draw your attention to my main Web page about diabetes, The Diabetes Directory. That URL is http://www.mendosa.com/diabetes.htm

Once or twice a month from 1997 to 2003 I reviewed a diabetes-related Web site for the ADA in my column "About the Internet." Those columns are now on my site at http://www.mendosa.com/diabetes.htm#columns

One of the other pages on my site that is very popular is a summary of information about the Glycemic Index (GI), which shows how quickly different foods make glucose available, something of great importance to people with diabetes. The GI is a separate link on my site at http://www.mendosa.com/gi.htm

Are you interested in the closest thing yet to a miracle food for people with diabetes? If you are, you may want to check out my http://www.mendosa.com/chana dal page.

If you are trying to lose weight—something of great interest to many people with type 2 diabetes—you may also want to study my Satiety Index page. The Satiety Index, along with the Glycemic Index, are two of the most exciting tools that we have to control our diabetes."

Log Sheet A log sheet is an alternative or adjunct to software. There are a lot of different log sheets out there, but the best, in my opinion, is one developed by Jean-Fran�ois Yale, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Crabtree Nutrition Laboratories, McGill Nutrition and Food Science Centre, Royal Victoria Hospital, and Director, Metabolic Day Centre. I met with him in Montreal in August 2002, and at that time he authorized me to make his log sheet available on my Web site. Dr. Yale's log sheet lets you enter blood glucose readings, insulin dosages, carbohydrate grams, and exercise (which you can put on a scale of 1 to 5) for any hour of the day. Before printing the log sheets remember to change the page layout to landscape and when you are finished to change it back to the usual portrait layout. Two pages of the log sheet cover the seven days of the week. It is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, which requires the free Acrobat Reader, available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html, if you don't have it already.
