Use the computer for nothing else.
UD has a nice forum with lots of info.
That is truly pathetic LOL
I haven't run UD in over a year and a 1/2 and still 14th:wow:The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.

Originally posted by VinnieVenI'm thinking of starting up with UD, they do reseach for diabetes which is something that interests me.
Anyone have any tips to make UD work as fast as possible?
Folding also does research for Type 2 Diabetes, if that is what you're after.
As far as I know, there aren't any DC programs that do Type 1 Diabetes research (which is what I'm really after). If there was, I'd switch in a heartbeat. I like crunching Folding, but it's not going to cure me.

I did a google and there was an article that came up from june of last year that said the ADA was going to use UD for some research.

I've had it for over 11 years so far (since I was 10). I'm sorry to hear that you had to join the club. My first few months were hell, but it does get better and you do get used to it. It becomes part of your everyday life and it is just something you deal with. It all becomes second nature after a while.
Feel free to contact me if you want, all my info is in my profile.
I didn't know the ADA was interested in DC programs, I'll have to look into it. I did a lot of searching on the subject a few months ago and didn't find much. Most of the info I found was about Type 2.

I don't think that they use the distributed system, but just pay UD for some crunching time. Nonethelesss, it would seem that supporting this company is more beneficial than a few of the other DC programs.
I'm 23, so not that much older than u at the moment though this is all quite new to me.

right, i think I did read that. But that is a private grid AFAIK. If I'm going to switch DC clients, I'd prefer it to be to one that will have a more direct impact on type 1 Diabetes research. I support the ADA now, so I don't think there is much of a need to support UD's DC when it's going to something completely different.
Being diagnosed with any chronic, life changing disease can traumatic, and I know all to well what you are probably going though. But do yourself a favor and keep it in check, you'll thank yourself later. Trust me on this. :)
Mr C. what was it you didn't like about UD? I vaguely remember a thread about your dislike for something concerning UD, but I don't remember much.

for Minibubba and VinnieVen: I'm also a type 1 diabetic . I was diagnosed over 16 years ago. things have come a long way since i was diagnosed Back then your typical glucometer weighed about 1.5 lbs and was about the size of a small thick notepad [one with at least 250 pages of paper in it]. Now they're the size of a beeper [and a small beeper at that.].
For those who have good medical plans you can get an insulin pump instead of having to give yourself shots. things have come a long way indeed.:)
