Canine Diabetes recommends joining the following two email lists.

Description of both lists: 
Everything related to diabetes in pets is open to discussion! Including health issues like congestive heart failure, pancreatitis, cushing's disease,etc. because diabetic pets develop other diseases.

These lists are about love and caring and coping and helping each other under all circumstances.

The members of the lists share what works for their pets based on their own experiences and we encourage each other in deciding what mix is right for their diabetic pet. No diet is set in stone and some pet's require more insulin then others. See how others cope on a daily basis!

We're here to share.  NEVER to accuse any pet parent of "doing it wrong".  There is no right and wrong, only what works best for an individual based from our own experience.

Some outstanding, unique features found in our pet diabetes email groups.
Each day you will receive a helpful tip or some article relating to pets.
example: articles on pancreatitis, food choices, treats, what lab tests mean, etc.

Every Monday an email is sent out featuring one owner and pet.  This email is titled 
Who am I?  It includes pictures and introduces you to that member.
It will include answers to the following questions:
Diabetic Pet's Name:
Breed:
Birth:
When Diagnosed:
Age Diagnosed:
Weight:
Kind of Insulin and Amount Per Injection:
Food:
Do you hometest?(blood, urine and/or observation)

Thank you George for hosting this website and the email list!!

One of the main reasons to belong to both lists is that if one of the lists goes down due to a server reason you are on the other one for a backup.  This is especially important to newer members who still are not confident in what is happening in their pet's life.  Many owners belong to both lists but some prefer one over the other.  The Yahoo Group has more members but the key players are on both lists.
