Bio statement

David Mendosa is an internationally-known journalist and consultant specializing in diabetes. After earning a B.A. with honors from the University of California, Riverside, and an M.A. from Claremont Graduate University, he became a Foreign Service officer. He worked 11 years in Washington and four years in Africa for the U.S. foreign aid program. Subsequently, he became a journalist, initially specializing in writing about small business. However, when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in February 1994, he began to write entirely about that condition. His articles and columns have appeared in many of the major diabetes magazines and Web sites. His own website, David Mendosa’s Diabetes Directory at mendosa.com/diabetes, was one of the first and is now one of the largest with that focus. It includes about 4,000 of his articles or web pages about diabetes. Every month he also publishes a free email newsletter called “Diabetes Update.” More than 20,000 people with diabetes subscribe to the newsletter. For the past five years he has been the lead staff writer about diabetes for one of the largest health websites in the world, HealthCentral.com. On a twice-weekly basis he writes at that website at http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/. He is a coauthor of The New Glucose Revolution: What Makes My Blood Glucose Go Up...And Down? (New York: Marlowe & Co., first edition in 2003, second American edition in July 2006, and other publishers in the U.K., Australia, Italy, and Taiwan). He is the author of Losing Weight with Your Diabetes Medication: How Byetta and Other Drugs Can Help You Lose More Weight than You Ever Thought Possible (New York: Perseus Books, February 2008). In mid-2010 he established a local diabetes support group for people committed to taking tight control of their diabetes.
