I have been writing a website with a blog for about 2 years now. It is about my struggle with type 2 diabetes. I want to turn this into a business that helps people understand the struggle on a personal level rather than just facts and figures.
I am the grandparent of several beautiful grandchildren one of whom lives with my spouse and Me. I work as a reporter for a small town newspaper and manage the website there.

Hello Karen
I use to watch a cable news show in which the Talk Show Host would always emphasize the importance of local or small town news papers and small town reporting. She would say that without local reporting, there are a lot of events that people would never find out about. I agree with her. Please keep up the good work. Thanks for adding me to your network.
Sincerely
Leonard

You are welcome, Leonard! And thank you for the comments about local news reporting. I feel my job is very important. As I always tell our new hires—"We are recording the history of our area. Without us, there wouldn't be a written record to go back to in the years to come."
Best wishes,

Hi Karin, Thank you for the follow. I've followed you back.
I read your bio. I am sorry to hear that you have type 2 diabetes.
I know how it feel. My sister-in-low's father has been suffering from type 2 diabetes for over 50 years.
Actually I just started a website with a blog about Ketogenic Diet ( It's in Chinese so I hope it will help some Chinese people ). Maybe you have heard of it. Many people who have the same issue claimed that this diet helps a lot.
If you want maybe you can look into it. There are tons of information on the internet. Also you can add these information into your website. Since you are experiencing both, people will trust you more.
Just some of my thoughts.
Anyway, I hope you get better soon.
Wish you all the best with your online business too ! : )

Hay Karin, thank you for the follow. I got drug away right after I signed up for Premium a year ago but am back to move forward and am trying to engage more with WA and get back to working on developing my site.
My wife is also battling with Type 2, the doctors wanted her to take a pile of drugs but she is managing it mostly with diet changes (the doctor didn't even mention this as a way to treat / improve her blood sugars).
I'd like to check out your site but I don't see it here. I keep seeing mention of it being "on the right, at the bottom" but don't see it on anyone's profile page?

Hi Ken. I actually don't have that one listed yet because it's still a work in progress and wanted to wait until I had it more "ready" for the world! :)

Hello Karin,
Thanks very much for following me. I'm now following you in return.
My apologies for the delay in responding to your follow notification. I had to take a break from my WA activities for the past few weeks to attend to some personal and family-related matters.
May I offer a suggestion regarding your interest in turning your struggle with Diabetes into a business? - Have you heard of Chris Wark? This young man has successfully battled cancer using "natural methods" (diet, exercise, etc.) and has since shared his story and methods and turned it into a very successful business. (learn more about him on his website - chrisbeatcancer.com).
If you're interested, I would be happy to offer some additional suggestions. Please respond with a private message and we can continue our dialogue.
Best wishes for your future success!
Dave

Well.... it has been ups and downs really.
The first few years, and up to the age of 12, was relatively straightforward. Then, I got to help him when needed, even though there were some protests there too. But from 12 years of age and up to, about 18, has been a struggle to be honest.
Fortunately, they grow up one day and that has been a relief for me as a mom ;-)
We never stop worrying, us mothers, no matter how grown up our children are. ;-)
Life is full of challenges, but I believe that this makes us stronger.
Have a great day, Karin.

Thanks for sharing, Cathrin. I have been watching this series on iThrive about diabetes... It's just an all around horrible disease. I know there are answers out there and as I uncover them, I will be posting them on my site. This disease is scary.
I am glad your son is doing better with things now. It is so hard to be young and want to do things and not be able to or want to fight against the ones trying to help you.
My mom and dad still worry about me, too! I guess that is very true.
Ah, challenges!

In my 3 years at WA, I have learned to have a core group of mentors to follow. These are people who are successful in this business and they have quite a bit to share.
I suggest you add the following awesome WA members to your network:
Marion Black, Leo Emery, Boomerang8, Loes, Littlemama, Nathaniel. and Jerry Huang.
These guys are earning $5000 to $10000 a month and they can give you a lot of valuable advice.
All The Best to You.

great work I also have type 2 diabetes just on pills not insulin but it is a life changing struggle and At 76 yrs I just have to stay strong and active. Good luck and there is nothing like grandchildren I have 6. I just lost my oldest grandson on July 30, 2018 he was
31 yrs old.. He had meningitis. My heart is still breaking but I have hopes that WA is going to help me focus on something positive. .
There are so many wonderful people in WA that really seem to care about our success. I have researched many programs and this is by far the best. Good luck to you and your family.

You and I have a lot in common. My son of 60 years just died this year from Heart failure directly related to type 2 Diabetes. We had struggled with this disease since he turned 12. It was a long, heart wrenching struggle. He left 3 beautiful grandchildren and a lovely Daughter-in-Law.
I edited a small local newspaper for about 4 years, until it went out of business. I've written many newsletters for groups over the years.
If I can help you with your work in any way, please let me know. I have many stories to tell.

They will be knowledgeable and useful from young to seniors like us. My age is 82 but I feel active due to positive thinking.
You or your associates of your family and your known circle can contact my educational website or me to know about education in USA and scholarships, due to my 15 year educational knowledge and tutoring experience. My educational website will be useful to your grandchildren and health websites for all from young ones including you.
If anybody needs tutoring help that also I will do by online throughout USA.

You have a quote on one of your websites that might sum it up a little
The secret of change is to focus all your energy,not on fighting the old,but on building the new. Socrates
The only advice I can give comes from living some good some bad. A relationship is build on trust and compromise from both sides. Like your website it is a foundation to better things ahead.
Perhaps a break and a real conversation where both sides talk and LISTEN

At the age of 47, I suffered a mild stroke. I was 230 when this happened. Slurring of voice ( tongue went on a strike) numbness on my right middle finger. Weird feeling. just don't realize how important until you can't use it.
I went to a neurologist and he sent me to a eye Doc. He looked into my eyes (eyes have all the info about what ails a person, I didn't know that until he said so.)
I went back to my family Doc and he told me to go on the Atkins Diet aka Ketogenic Diet, Caveman Diet.
I followed the book's advice to the "T" and I went from 230 down to 165 lbs, and fast. My blood sugar went down under 200 cholesterol have been in check and overall I feel good.
I am 64 years old and 181 lbs.
Why am I sharing this with you Karin, when you mention in your profile your challenges with type 2 diabetes it hits home with me.
My solution it yours are similar, my fight with sugar.
Thanks for allowing me to trigger a problem I have even now.

I respect that Karin.
Are you aware back in 2008, Stanford Medical Center made a study on 4 diets? Dr. Christian "something" ( story don't know his last name) lead the research/study.
I think it was near 1000 people who participated in the 4 diets
1) The South Beach Diet
2) Ornish Diet- vegetarian
3) Standard American Diet- eat less and exercise more.
4) The Atkins Diet- aka Ketogenic and Caveman's diet.
Dr. Christian admitted he had a bias and that he felt his favorite;
the "Vegetarian Diet" will win hands over heels, after all he was doing it for over 20 years.
To his surprise, "drats" the Atkins Diet won over, bigtime.
Numbers on cholesterol, fat, hunger,
Here I found the study below.

You welcome Karin,
take care.
Btw, there are 2 types of cholesterol
LDL- low density lypoprotein- bad cholesterol.
HDL-high density lypoprotein- good cholesterol
Ask your Doc what is your HDL/LDL ratio.
He can tell you. It goes like this, you get a blood test
to find out first. On the fact sheet will show total cholesterol.
that would be a high number. On the same sheet will show
your high cholesterol number.
Say your numbers are 325/85. That means 85 is your HDL.
The larger number is your total cholesterol, which is 325.
Now this is very important Karin, you get this you know your
true numbers. Doc can tell if your cholesterol is clogging your arteries. Remember the ratio 5, OK.
325/85. If you divide that numbers you will get 3.82, that number is under 5. You don't have high cholesterol. You are mighty healthy, Karin. Loud applause! Yaay!
Now say if you have 325/14, now try and divide those numbers.
I can tell you now without using my internet computer it is
"OUCHIE-BAD" Karin.
Here's the number, 25 (TWENTY-FIVE!!!! OUCH)
You suppose to be dead!
I got my stroke when my numbers were 8.
My ratio is 3.25 well under 5. Remember 5 is your "cut-off" point.
Don't be afraid of the numbers.
BUT BE DEADLY AFRAID OF THE RATIO. Remember "5."
Take care Karin!
frank
take care.
Btw, there are 2 types of cholesterol
LDL- low density lypoprotein- bad cholesterol.
HDL-high density lypoprotein- good cholesterol
Ask your Doc what is your HDL/LDL ratio.
He can tell you. It goes like this, you get a blood test
to find out first. On the fact sheet will show total cholesterol.
that would be a high number. On the same sheet will show
your high cholesterol number.
Say your numbers are 325/85. That means 85 is your HDL.
The larger number is your total cholesterol, which is 325.
Now this is very important Karin, you get this you know your
true numbers. Doc can tell if your cholesterol is clogging your arteries. Remember the ratio 5, OK.
325/85. If you divide that numbers you will get 3.82, that number is under 5. You don't have high cholesterol. You are mighty healthy, Karin. Loud applause! Yaay!
Now say if you have 325/14, now try and divide those numbers.
I can tell you now without using my internet computer it is
"OUCHIE-BAD" Karin.
Here's the number, 25 (TWENTY-FIVE!!!! OUCH)
You suppose to be dead!
I got my stroke when my numbers were 8.
My ratio is 3.25 well under 5. Remember 5 is your "cut-off" point.
Don't be afraid of the numbers.
BUT BE DEADLY AFRAID OF THE RATIO. Remember "5."
Take care Karin!

So I looked up the results of my last lipid profile. I don’t know what all these numbers mean.
Cholesterol 269
Triglycerides 305
HDL cholesterol 43
Calculated LDL 165
All I know is she put me on another statin that makes me not remember things.

Here Karin, very simple see the top number
269 you divide that by your HDL that is 43.
Here's what you get 6.25. That is above 5. Remember what I said Karin? Keep the numbers under 5. Your cholesterol is above 5. That's why your Doc put you on that statin drug.
My recommendation is Karin, (I'm not a Doc) tell her you want to do Atkins. Let her know that Atkins/ketogenic/caveman diet is a low sugar diet. How can Doc tell you no when your problem is diabetes? Why, you wanna tell her that?
Because if you lower your sugar intake that a ketogenic diet recommends, you need Doc to lower your doses of insulin.
Remember my dear friend, it's all about lowering your sugar intake and this diet corrects most of your ailments. Doc needs
You lose weight, lower your sugar in your blood, look young again and downright feel good all over. Ohh and people will notice you have more energy and family will see a new Karin. All in humble opinion.
Take care Karin!

Hi Karin! I am nurse case manager for my day job and one of our biggest challenges is helping people find affordable diabetic supplies when their insurance doesn’t cover. That might be a good idea for helping people and maybe you can find an affiliate program for diabetic supplies. Nice to connect with you!

I live in a small town also, Guntersville, Alabama. I am an old man who has a passion for holistic health. I am trying to recruit a team to sell CBD. It is now legal through out the USA, and is simply a great help for almost any kind of ailment perhaps even diabetes. The affiliate program is free to join, but also has options similar to WA. I have made good money with my sales but I also like the fact that I am helping someone feel better. Visit raybrannum.com and follow my link. The site tells about me and my family business.

well...
i can relate with your struggle with
coping with a medical condition.
i had the same idea about a blog with coping/recovering after a stroke.
Since anything related to health is a mega niche/sub niche.
You can expect great success with this idea
i wish you much success.

I felt that this scammer and no doubt many others, try to appeal to a base human trait of ' join me in deceit and make money together', but give me some of yours first, then well....sucker!!

I totally agree with your sentiments. It is much easier to be straight and honest with what we do - that way we do not have to continually look over our shoulder to see who is after us because inevitably these scammers get caught. Honesty and Integrity are the basis for normal life and even more important if you are going into business.

My wife is battling with diabetes. She also struggles with neuropathy. She is in pain quite often. She has been able to control her sugar levels cause of the way she is eating now compared to the way we were eating last year. I have grandchildren of my own. That's my wife' main motivation. Is to be around for them and to watch them grow into great people, no matter what there interests are. I'm a better blog reader than I am a blog writer. I have no clue in how to write a blog or even what to write about. Maybe you could give me a few pointers. Anyway it is nice to meet you.

I can feel your wife's pain. The neuropathy is no walk in the park....
I don't have a formula for writing, except that I write from my heart and I do my very best to keep on topic. That can sometimes be a challenge, but it is important to do because it keeps your reader focused, as well.
Maybe I'll do a training on blog writing at some point! :)

Sounds like you have a really good idea there!! Just in case you wanted any suggestions: I recommend the possibly selling the Contour Next One Blood Glucose Kit from the Amazon site.
I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and this kit was one of the most inexpensive, but has been working so well for me. Plus, reordering the testing strips doesn't completely break the bank either like others.
Thank you for covering this topic! I will follow back :)

Hello Karin and Welcome To Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined and with your present online experience you will perhaps have come to the conclusion that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
You must keep referring back to the training, but if you get really stuck on anything then can I suggest you browse some of the 400+ blogs I have published within WA.
You can always get in touch with me as well.
You have decided to follow me and I will follow you as well.
Have a great day.
