I was attempting to respond to Chris Malcolm and I didn't think what I
said was as abstract as what he said.

I sorry that you feel this way, but I suppose that in my efforts to try
and understand type 2 diabetes I have become somewhat of a freak. I put
together most of the following about 4 years ago: GLOSSARY OF
BIOCHEMICAL, MEDICAL CHEMISTRY, CELL BIOLOGY, AND DIABETIC TERMS -
http://users.adelphia.net/~fwroy/glossary.html. As I was reading
scientific and medical journals I would add more to the list, but have
largerly neglected to maintain it. I did do this glossary for anyone
but myself and therefore it is a work-in-progress. I need to update it
some more, but there are some new search aids in it for anyone that
wants their understanding beyond the elementary.

Understand that I am a 71 year old man without much scientific
background who was diagnosed almost 6 years ago. I came into what ever
knowledge I have through the back door so to speak since I have taken no
formal biochemistry, physiology, etc. courses.
