In their own words
"Over 11 million people in the U.S. know they have diabetes and another 7 million have it but are unaware of it. Several million more have an early stage called prediabetes. Diabetes is a serious chronic illness that affects how the body uses food. The food that we eat is broken down into glucose, which is our body's main source of energy. To burn this energy our body needs insulin, produced by the pancreas, to get the glucose into cells where it can be used. When this is not done correctly, serious health problems can occur.
Success with diabetes comes through trial and error, learning, and applying that learning. For those with diabetes, the benefits of taking on this task and learning how to use insulin are tremendous, namely a more productive life today and a healthier and longer life in the future. Good resources are a must in the fight against diabetes. Knowledgeable and supportive health care providers, motivation to participate in self-management, and the financial support to provide the necessary supplies and services, all will help in your quest to a better life with diabetes".
Why it might be a killer
The wide array of titles on diabetes, which are sold at special discount prices are really very appealing, also featuring free downloadable books and age-group-specific books which tackle this rather harsh issue with plain and understandable language, while dealing with everyday events and objections. This site's ethical and supportive approach to diabetes patients and their environment is definitely an important explainer as to why this site could become a killer startup.
Some questions
Possibly a sloppy side for Diabetesnet.com is its design, which does not allow to increase the font size, which is a rather strange thing, considering that a big part of their audience will surely be very happy to have larger print in the site, in order to read in full detail the very knowledgeable content it provides to its users. Can they figure this out and have the type size enlarged?
