The New Site Goes Live
When you visit my website, www.mendosa.com, this month, you will notice that it's different. A few days ago my website programmer, Abhijit Mhapsekar, completed a massive facelift for the site. This is the site's first major upgrade in almost 18 years. When I started the site in February 1995, I did my own programming after learning a bit from books and other sites about how to do it. Eventually the site grew so big -- with more than 4,000 articles about diabetesand how to manage it -- that programming it was too much work for me to do alone. So I brought Abhijit in to help me, and over the years he has done more and more of the work to develop and maintain the site. You may notice a few rough edges, and if you do, please let us know. But we hope that you will find the revamped website more attractive and easier to use.
