ANNOUNCEMENT

It may be of interest to some of you NativeNetters that I have recently
taken on the task of a SYSOP on the Diabetes Forum on Compuserve. I have
had diabetes myself for 13 years, and I am using the knowledge I have
acquired through management of my own case to help others with theirs.

The Diabetes Forum consists of a large message base, a library of over
1,000 files containing information about diabetes and hypoglycemia, all
free for the downloading, and real time conferences three times a week.
Our primary purposes are to educate and support those who have diabetes.

I am painfully aware of the prevalence of diabetes in the Native American
community, and I would like to help in any way that I can. I invite any of
you who have a Compuserve account to stop into the forum any time to chat
or acquire information. However, since I know many of you do not have access
to this service, I am making an offer here to help answer questions and
provide information through my own Internet account.

If you need information about diabetes or hypoglycemia, send your questions
to me at any of my electronic addresses below, and I will look for the
needed answers for you and return them to you by email. You can even send
me email at Compuserve from the Internet at the address:
