I'm sorry to hear that your boyfriend has diabetes.

Too much alive IMHO...

IMHO is one of the abbreviations frequently used on internet standing
for : In My Honest Opinion.
I was talking about the newsgroup Misc.Health.Diabetes,
a newsgroup that's very alive, it carries 100+ messages each day.

It's not the number of messages that irritates me, but lot's of times
there's a lot of fighting and quareling on that newsgroup what helps
no-one in my opinion. Also it carries a lot of commercial messages
which are most of the time nothing more as snakeoil.

On the other hand, misc.health.diabetes is alive and not all people
subscribed to it fight or sell snakeoil, most of 'm are quite friendly
most of the time, so i think you'll find more info there as on this
newsgroup.

Best wishes to you and your friend,

Bart Derks, Middelburg, the Netherlands.
