We’re honored and proud to have Dr. Anita Ramsetty as our first featured expert blogger (more highly talented expert bloggers to follow, so stay tuned foks!).

This is the first of that series to introduce Dr. Ramsetty’s expertise and online practice to our community.

Nedrra Lanakila (N): We’re thrilled you have this wonderful service called EndocrineHelp.com. Please take a few minutes to introduce yourself and describe this service to our community who really needs your expert guidance online.

Dr. Anita Ramsetty (A): I am so excited to be a part of this exciting community, and I thank you all for welcoming me.
This is really wonderful for me personally, but also for our practice that is trying to do something a little unusual.

My name is Anita Ramsetty. I am a mother, wife and a physician. My field of specialty is endocrinology and diabetes. (You can learn more about her medical training here: www.endocrinehelp.com/index.php/Contact-Us). www.Endocrinehelp.com is a site that we started late last year. (more…)

The new year is approaching and for many that means a whole slew of goal setting and resolutions.

I had the great pleasure to be able to physically join Charlie Cherry and the gang in the studio for an episode of the DiabetesPowerShow a few weeks ago and now that has just been released.

The topic of the show was goal setting and diabetic resolutions for this upcoming year. It was also great as we had Manny from TuDiabetes.com join us on the phone and we all went over the various tools out there, especially online, which we can utilize to make those goals a reality.

It is a great episode with of course lots of motivation and enthusiasm so definitely check it out.

I know my main goal has been to get my A1c into the 5-6.0 range. Though I am quite happy over the last 6 months I’ve got it down over 3%!! Almost there What are your diabetes goals for 2008? Share them over at TuDiabetes.com

A cool little project has popped up called Diabetes365. Originally started by Beth of insearchofbalance.wordpress.com, other diabetes bloggers like Bernard of www.bernardfarrell.com have joined in too.

What is Diabetes365? In Bernards words:

“Diabetes365 is an idea that I got from Beth of insearchofbalance. She started her Diabetes365 photo project a few days ago and I couldn’t think of a better way to inform people of what it’s like to live with diabetes 365 days a year.

The idea behind this Diabetes365 project is that I’ll take one picture every day of the year. I’ll post it to the flickr Diabetes365 pool and blog about it briefly.

Would you like to take part in Diabetes365? You can join the flickr pool provided that you post a picture there each day (or wait a few days and post several pictures, one per day). Each picture must be tagged with diabetes365 and titled with the date taken and which day of your year of photos it is. If you’d like to blog your photos, feel free to do that also.”
