Our company used the Consumer Deks in a study of 276 diabetics with HgBA1'c greater than 10. We sent
every other patient a Dek along with a phone number to call for follow upquestions.
We followed their A1C's for a year afterward and realized a drop on average of 3 points in A1C
results. The results speak for themselves. The Deks are an immensely helpful tool in good diabetes
management and a "must have" for PCP's to manage diabetic population.

I just found out I had type 2 diabetes. I came across the DiabetesDek online and purchased it
immediately. I have gone through a lot of literature, but nothing put together so well and covering
every facet of this disease. Thank you for helping me live without fear. Your Dek is near my heart
daily!

Paul Davidson MD, FACE
One of the nation's original board-recognized endocrinologists, has worked with diabetes for 42 years. Diabetes experts in Minnesota, West Virginia, University of Pennsylvania, and Emory trained him, and he has in turn trained others at West Virginia University and Emory. He has experience in bench and clinical research, medical editing and writing, establishing, administrating, and teaching recurring seminars to help persons with diabetes maintain themselves in safe blood glucose target ranges. His research on insulin and triglyceride measurement in 1965 was the basis for the now widely recognized insulin resistance syndrome. Because of his involvement in a large 1960-1970's research study (UGDP); he became an early advocate of intensive patient education and aggressive management of diabetes for tight blood glucose control. He developed innovative management systems, which have been published and are now used worldwide. One such protocol was developed for Glucommander, a computerized system for IV insulin administration, developed with Dr. Dennis Steed. He is the founder and senior member of the 20 year old and largest diabetes practice in Southeastern United States, Atlanta Diabetes Associates. He is the medical director with the longest tenure of the nation-wide, 100 site Diabetes Treatment Centers of America. He is one of ten physicians in the US who has expertise in the use of the implanted insulin pump. In the past few years he has collected over 2200 records of insulin pump management of diabetes and from this he has evolved a new system of normal blood glucose diabetes management, patented as PumpMaster.

Q: How can I be sure I can rely on the diabetes information?
A: All of the information provided in the Dek has been reviewed by highly regarded professionals in the diabetes field. For more information on their backgrounds go to the tab "Authors". You can trust the information provided and know that we update our Deks regularly to make sure you get current information as it becomes available.
Q: How ofeten are the Deks updated?
A: At least once a year.
Q: I have never been diagnosed with diabetes. Will the Dek tell me if I have it?
A: Only your healthcare professional can actually diagnose the disease. But, the Dek can help you identify the signs and symptoms of diabetes and will also help you prepare questions to ask and information to relate to your doctor.
A: Part of the good news is diabetes, if caught early and treated properly, can be managed in such a way that most people can live a relatively normal life. This is part of why we are so proud to be able to offer the Diabetes Deks as they have helped many do just that. However, left untreated diabetes can cause blindness, lead to amputations, heart attacks and strokes!
Q: Why the Diabetes Dek versus some other reference material?
A: The Dek presents needed information in a pocket size format that is well organized so you can easily find what you are looking for. Because it is portable it is readily available when you need to refer to it. So the Dek is there when YOU need it.
