Instructions on how to sign up for DiabetesDiscussions.com are provided at Getting started at the Diabetes Monitor website.

You are at the "Start" page at DiabetesDiscussions.com. You can now:

1. Look on the left for "Recent threads" (comments) and click on any that intrigue you.

2. Look on the left for the blue box with the words "Start Reading »" and click on those words to get going! After clicking on "Start Reading »", instructions for writing comments and other miscellaneous advice that's nice to know will then be found on the left, within the area on the left titled "General Information". Note: Clicking on "Messages" on the blue menubar will do the same thing.

3. Look on the left at "Thread Options" and click on "New Discussion" to start a new discussion. When you do, you should:
* choose the correct "Folder" for your discussion (examples, "Discuss Byetta", "Discuss meters & CGM", "Discuss metformin"),
* enter a brief but descriptive "Thread Title",
* type your comments in the "Message" box,
* enter a "Signature" if you want to,
* either "Preview" or "Post" your discussion.
(Please note: the "Thread Option" to "Create Poll" is disabled.)

4. Search throughout DiabetesDiscussions.com for a concept to see if folks have commented on it. Either use the "Search" feature built-in to this software (on the left side of the blue menubar above), or the search feature we've provided at DiabetesMonitor.com, which is among the choices in the drop-down "Forum Links" box on the extreme right side of the blue menubar.

5. Read some of our "Recommended Reading" – see list below.

You can always return to this page by clicking on "Start" on the blue menubar above.

Again, welcome. It's good to have you join us.
