You'll find even more diabetics over in newsgroup alt.support.diabetes.
You may want to read this to help you understand what you'll find the

http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm

Some advice on what to do the

1) Don't answer anyone who wants to discuss religion instead of
diabetes, even if they put Dr. in front of their name. In fact, there's
such a doctor for which it's a bad idea to answer him at all.

2) Don't answer anyone who insists that excess iron in the blood
is the main cause of diabetes. It is a possible cause, but an
uncommon one.

3) Ignore anyone trying to sell fruit juice with the claim it is good
for diabetes. Nearly all of the people who make such a claim are
more interested in getting your money than in telling the truth or
giving you any help at all.

4) Watch the threads started by someone claiming to have a cure
for diabetes for a while before believing they were telling the truth,
since bending the meaning of "cure" far too much is much more
common in such threads the truth.

5) If your doctor has told you whether your diabetes is type 1,
type 2, of some other type, mention which type when you create
any new threads there, at least at first.

Don't be scared of Splenda. Not only do most of us feel it is the best in
overall flavor quality, but actually it involves less chemical properties
than many other sweeteners such as Equal or Sweet N Low.
