Now if you are new to diabetes or are new to online forums and blogs, my buddy Brensdad of Diabetes360 and I will try to explain all the different diabetes terms and web quirks. If you know us you know what to expect. If you don’t, think of us as the Diabetes Bloger's Abbott (Not that Abbott) and Costello.
BadShoe: Look Brensdad, if you're a regular here, you gotta know all the people posting on the blogs.
Brensdad: I certainly do.
BadShoe: Well you know I've never met the folks. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's on the web.
Brensdad: Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know it seems to me web players now-a-days have very peculiar names.
BadShoe: You mean funny names?
Brensdad: Strange names, pet names...like Brensdad.
BadShoe: Your dad?
Brensdad: EmmasPapa...
BadShoe: And your French cousin?
Brensdad: French?
