The official Spanish version of TuDiabetes.com is now live!!

You can visit it and join at http://EsTuDiabetes.com/.

Even if you are a member of TuDiabetes.com, if you wish to join EsTuDiabetes.com, you need to register again, since they are two independent communities (although they share the same name, etc.)

You will also find a link at the top left of both sites, allowing you to conveniently switch back and forth between them.
————————————
La version en español de TuDiabetes.com ha sido lanzada oficialmente!!!

Invito a todos los hispano-parlantes a unirse, visitando:
http://EsTuDiabetes.com/

Aun si son miembros de TuDiabetes.com, si desean unirse a EsTuDiabetes.com, tienen que registrarse nuevamente, ya que son dos paginas independientes (aunque compartan el nombre, etc.)

Si lo desean, tambien verán un link convenientemente ubicado en a parte superior de las dos paginas, que les permitira pasar de una red a la otra.

The numbers shared in the report about the state of obesity in Australia today are alarming:

“Almost three-quarters of Australian men and two-thirds of women living in rural areas may be overweight or obese and at risk of diabetes, arthritis and other chronic diseases, a new study said.”

Unfortunately, the report doesn’t clarify that there are two types of diabetes and the one that people are at risk of due to being overweight is type 2 Diabetes.

As noted in Wikipedia, “despite the similarity in complications, [type 1 and type 2 diabetes] have quite different origins and treatments”. To this day, there is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes.

As a means to provide as many ways to easily input information we’ve launch SugarStats Mobile Edition so you can easily input your statistics on the go.

We’ve built a very simplified mobile version for use on phones and PDA’s which have browsers that support HTML/XHTML.

All you have to do is open your mobile browser and go to http://m.sugarstats.com and login. To avoid excessive logging out you might want to select “remember me” on the login page.

Features:

We’re continually making new changes and additions but for now we’ve gone some basic functionality in place:

• Adding Sugars and Meds along with Foods and Activities if you have a premium account
• Deleting entries and notes
• Adding comments to those entries
• View entries for any day
• Add personal notes for any day
• Last 7 and 30 days trends and averages
• Browse to specific day

SugarStats Mobile Requirements:

1. Your phone’s browser needs to be HTML/XHTML compliant, this isn’t a WAP portal. A good test is to go to http://www.google.com/xhtml on your mobile phone and see if it works.
2. Your mobile browser needs to be able to handle cookies. You can find this in your browser settings and it is usually set by default
3. If you have a premium account your mobile browser needs to support SSL encryption.

Mobile Browser Recommendations:

Opera Mini:

We highly recommend those without Windows Mobile or Symbian devices to use Opera Mini as their web browser. It is just a fantastic mobile browser with great support and it runs on pretty much any device that supports Java.

You can find it here: http://www.operamini.com/ or you can download it directly by opening http://operamini.com on your mobile browser.

Minimo:

Another browser option for Windows Mobile 5 and above devices only is the Minimo project from the Mozilla foundation. Find more info here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
