There is a good informative list that I could bridge one way from the Childhood
diabetes association (aka Type I diabetes which you don't have to be a child to
have)... it's mostly pure diabetes news that will apply to all diabetics...
it's not a newsgroup nor is it a chat mailing list.
However as this echo is listed as no gateways I can't gate this in.  I would
think that it would serve to foster a lot of GOOD conversation.

I have been in the hospital... but not because of Diabetes or my Cancer.  I had
a staph infection in my Chemo port that was community acquired MRSA.  It's a
hard to kill bug that had me quite down and they had to surgically remove my
chemo port.

The good news is that I have completed my Chemo and it looks like I have beaten
the cancer.  The diabetes is well controlled with a 6.2 A1C.  Just need to heal
up the sore spot where the port was.  I have been home two days and went out to
lunch with mom... they gave us BOTH a senior citizen discount and at 37 years
of age I did not feel very good about that.

I am very interested in trying to revive this group and have many ideas... I
just need some of the restrictions in place reviewed and possibly lifted.  All
of the newsgroup feeds are very clinical... I don't think we need that here.
But I do think if there is good information posted here as discussion prompts
we can move forward with this.
