- Health 2.0 Through the Eyes of a Diabetic – One Year Later – ReadWriteWeb – A patient talks about his diabetes and what he did or didn't use Health2.0-wise. Are there good tools to consolidate information that patients with diabetes need to manage their health? I am especially interested this as I am reading Amy Tenderich’s book right now. Is there a place that is set up to manage the main pieces of data as Amy describes? I need to finish the book and not offer solutions….I’m interested, though, at this point.

# Are people reluctant to commit to coffee or lunch? Others seem to immediately recognize the value of a walk. It’s a fresh idea, it’s free, and there’s no awkwardness over the bill.

This is how doctors are taught to think, and if they don't have the tools / ability to listen to patients (time, technology, training), the likelihood that things appear to be horses increases.
