Just wanted to quickly share a new non-profit resource site and get everyone's feedback.  The site is http://www.DiabetesActNow.org and is and has a number of videos and tools top help pro actively manage your life with diabetes, including diet related tips and tools that may be helpful for everyone here.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks!

PS:  Here is the "About Us" section of the site for a little background on the groups that helped put this together:
The Diabetes Care Coalition was a first-of-its-kind alliance of diverse nonprofit organizations and corporations committed to helping control diabetes and prevent its deadly complications. The Diabetes Care Coalition united, for the first time, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF), later joined by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) and National Council of La Raza (NCLR), in a common effort to battle diabetes through innovative public awareness messaging. In 2006, The Advertising Council, working with the Coalition, sought to bring the power of national reach to the Coalition’s public awareness campaign through a phase one launch in 2007. As the Ad Council campaign enters its phase two launch, ADA is pleased to continue to support the campaign with the ongoing participation of AADE and NCLR and thanks all of the past corporate members for their contributions, which continue to fund this important initiative in 2009.

I heard diabetics are very bad for you and you should never take them unless instructed to do so by a doctor.  Also never EVER take them with sugary foods.

Also, I don't think that you are supposed to feed them after midnight, get them wet, or expose them to bright lights. :yum:

 

As for the website, seeing a real life doctor in a cartoon world reminded me of some saturday morning educational short that was stuck in between my morning cartoons and annoyed me. If this was aimed towards children, that would be fine, but I don't think that was your target audience.

Thanks Tontus.  All feedback is very useful, and I will be passing it on.  If you, or anyone else has a chance to take a look at some the Simple Answers or Easy Actions videos, please let me know what you think of the content itself.  Thanks!
