Introducing... The New Type 1 Diabetes Website from About.com
Friday October 24, 2008
Until recently, this website has been dedicated to people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. As your friendly diabetes guide here at About.com, I can tell you that there is a vast amount of information that needs to be made available for the millions of people diagnosed with diabetes. Although both type 1 and type 2 are similar in some ways, there are enough differences between the two, in management, treatments and other issues, that the topic warrants two separate websites.
Meet Gary Gilles, a freelance health writer, university instructor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). He specializes in helping individuals and families with diabetes. Gary is the new guide to the brand new website, Type 1 Diabetes, here at About.com.
Gary has great resources for kids with type 1, and their parents. He also has information for people who have been diagnosed with type 1 as adults. Join me in welcoming Gary to About.com.
Here are some articles of special interest from About.com's new Type 1 Diabetes website.

I have type 1 Diabetes and I’m 28 years old. I’ve had it since I was 2 weeks old as an infant. I’ve been doing pretty well, but I had an interesting question. Can a person that has had diabetes feel like they’re going to throw up when they are starting to have a low number? I’ve had this happen to me a few times now and I am talking to my doctor about it, as well. They don’t know why it’s starting doing this when the numbers are either below the 100 mark or in the 100’s. What should I do?
