Glossary of Terms

Thanks for all the explanations - of course we all know CP, QA, BG and BI etc, but I didn't know what MDI and CSII meant (thanks Carolin). I was thinking more of a central repository where any diabetes-related terms or abbreviations could be accessed to get explanations. If you Google 'MDI' you get a multitude of results - including Merseyside Dance Institute (!) so that's not much help.

As Mark pointed out, a Glossary of Terms would take someone a lot of effort to compile - so it couldn't be done quickly. Nevertheless I think it would be a useful addition to the dafneonline website.

I can start compiling one now if you want and get back to the staff with it, it can then be posted as a sticky thread......

I think you're just the man for the job, Novorapidboi. The trouble is, we to be that we seem to be the only ones in favour of it - apart from Mark who also warned of the amount of work involved in it.

Perhaps you could start with 'sticky thread' - what does that mean?

the sticky thread always stays at the top of the message board and is usually locked from posting by the staff, and can be edited only by staff.............

I like the idea. Shame, I can't find a 'diabetic slang' list I saw some time late last year - I'll post the link if I ever remember where I saw it online! Some were very strange!

See the first few threads of the General Discussion section to see some stick threads in action. ;P

We all know we have done this.........

Can't honestly remember but that's a pretty good example of what I saw! Maybe it is!

Is it true you can buy a book with all these slang diabetic words and phrases? Would you buy it? I probably wouldn't. ^_^;
