New Links Section at Diabetic Seniors

One of the most important functions of the Diabetic Seniors Blog besides discussing the all important issues surrounding diabetes is to track new developments and changes that occur at DiabeticSeniors.com. It's not been well publicized, but the site has gone through many changes since I started working on it back in April--I should probably list all the changes here, but in another post. Moreover, the site will continue to evolve and change to meet the needs of diabetic seniors.

One of my favorite recent upgrades took a very long time to get done (some miscommunication on my part in working with developers and just plain busy), the links section. I'm not sure why the file name is "links-grid..." instead of just "links" or "links-section or some such thing. Never-the-less, it's got quite the techy edge ring to it, don't you think? Anyway, the neat thing is that I can now list all sorts of quality diabetic resources that I come across, and indeed, there are many of these hidden in the invisible web, really.

I've started off with 4 categories: Diabetes, Charities, Medicare, and Nutrition. If you know the history and are familiar with the mission of DiabeticSeniors.com, you'll understand why I chose these topics to kick off the links section. The most intriguing and potentially expansive category is "Charities." There are several active diabetic charities out there that I want to list and by all means, feel free to comment if you are familiar with any.

Diabetic Seniors Blog

This is the first post in the diabetic seniors blog, designed to accompany the diabetic seniors information site for those suffering from diabetes. The site has also been a resource for caregivers of diabetic patients. There is a lot to talk about regarding diabetes and especially as relates to seniors. So, I am up to the challenge and hope you enjoy reading my thoughts here.
