A place for male discussion of diabetes

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

About once a year, I drop a little note here to tell people that we

have a little Yahoo group called " The Diabetic Male. " This is

primarily for guys (though we don't discriminate - women may also

join, especially those who want to help their husbands, boyfriends,

sons, etc.)

My thinking for starting this group a couple of years ago is that it

might be difficult for some men to want to discuss male problems (like

impotence, prostate gland problems and even the

emotional/psychological aspects of a man dealing with diabetes) in a

" mixed " discussion group.

I think the group has been helpful to the guys (and one girl) since I

started it. We'd love to have more folks join it and become active.

Here's the subscriber info:

Jim, I thank you for offering that group to us. I want to add that we

female diabetics can also suffer the condition of being " dead from

the waist down. " The further our body parts are from our hearts, the

more likely that those parts will exhibit impaired circulation. It's

extremely common, and may be an early sign of impending diabetes in

those not yet diagnosed. Jim wrote:
