"Nurturing Your Health Bank"

My rather lengthy article based on our Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes Book finally appears in the Sept/Oct 2007 issue of Diabetes Self-Management magazine!

The article focus is, naturally, Avoiding Diabetic Complications.  It's titled "Nurturing Your Health Bank," (that's the online link) and you'll find it in the print version of the magazine on page 29.   Drawing from the book, the article explains how to "collect your numbers" -- A1c, blood pressure, lipid profile, microalbumin, and eye exam -- and then take appropriate action to become and stay as healthy as you possibly can be.  Lots of emphasis is placed on setting priorities, rather than trying to tackle everything at once.  

There's even a sample chart based on our "Diabetes Health Account" table.  I'm not sayin' you won't need to buy the book after reading this piece, but hey... it's pretty informative, if I do say so myself :)
