What Is Happening to Type 2 Bloggers?


Making my review of type 2 bloggers in the last two weeks, I was very surprised at the number that have deleted their blogs entirely. What happened?

I know that a few have exited to Facebook and they are active there, but the rest I have not found on Facebook either. It is discouraging to have to remove twelve bloggers from my list.  If you read this, please let me know what happened. A couple had been very active up until suddenly their blog was gone.

I am sorry to see many of them not blogging.

Open request to all type 2 people.

As of now I have published all that I have permission to publish. I wish more would have responded to my request to publish their information. I will not publish without permission. I still have a lot of requests out and will continue requesting if I find new sites. Information will be added as I get it plus new URL's will be added for people.

I am not sure why people have not responded, either they have very tight control on their email and my emails were routed to spam, or have chosen not to participate. At some future date I may list the URL's only without any other information, but I really don't want to do this.

If you have been missed, are a person with type 2 diabetes, and want to be included, please go to my blog profile page and email me.

If you can help, please let me know.
