Ladylaw: Thanks for the comeback. Believe it or not I got him to read this thread last night. He hasn't had much to say about it yet except he learned a lot. I encouraged him to use my (Aleka) to start asking questions. He can sign Bill if he wants or not--The important thing is for him to start learning from others who have diabetes. Info seems to come better from those who have the same problem. He attends a support group at the hospital but again it is the same old crap they preach everywhere else. Anyway--he finally did read some--maybe it will stimulate him to get really interested enough to do something for himself. Thanks Aleka
