	She didn't set out to be a best-selling author; Brenda Novak just wanted to do something that allowed her to work from home. And she never meant to become an expert on diabetes; that came from experience, when the youngest of her five children was diagnosed.

	"Managing diabetes is 90% information; 10% medication," says the founder and editor of www.ChildrenwithDiabetes.com, Jeff Hitchcock. When his 2-year old daughter was diagnosed with diabetes in 1989, information about caring for her was in short supply.
Then came the Internet, and by 1995, he created his own site. Hitchcock agrees with Dr. Elliott Joslin when he says, "The person with diabetes who knows the most, lives the longest." It is the goal of ChildrenwithDiabetes.com to be the best source of information about Type 1 diabetes on the Web. View the presentation with recorded audio
