Management of the patient with diabetes mellitus

This is addressed to Dr Lamster and Colgate. First, I'd like to thank Colgate for bringing Dr. Lamster's lecture online. Before watching this webinar, i had to content myself with whatever journals are available for free in the internet. I have admired the works of Dr. Lamster and his colleagues in diabetes research. Second, I'd like to thank Dr Lamster for a very enlightening lecture, for putting all the different findings of current research into one single comprehensive lecture. I particularly liked the part where you enlist the active participation of the dentist in the general health management of the diabetic patient. In this regard, I would like to enlist your help. I am a dentist from the Philippines involved in the care of diabetic patients. I have been trying to get dentists and doctors to listen to the problem diabetics have with regard to oral health but I have not made any impact. I'd like to show you some of the articles I have written and request your comments and help in publishing them. If you think it is worth publishing. Please send me your email address if you'd like to help me. My email add is eofilada@yahoo.com and i have a website donated by a diabetic patient. You can view it at www.projectoralhealth.org if you're not doing anything. I hope Colgate and Dr. Lamster will find the articles informative and suggest possible ways to help me in informing heath care personnel in the Philippines about the benefits of addressing oral care in diabetic patients.
