Is there an OA journal for diabetes researchers?

[Richard Feinman <RFeinman@downstate.edu>]

Heather Morrison asked:

"Is there an open access alternative for diabetes researchers?  If not,
might be time to start one up.  How is this for a motto "we treat our
authors with respect!"

Our BMC journal Nutrition and Metabolism publishes articles on diabetes.  
We are relatively new and only beginning to reach out to authors in other
journals.  However, an important recent article that has received many
hits is:

The case for low carbohydrate diets in diabetes management
Surender K Arora, Samy I McFarlane
Nutrition & Metabolism 2005, 2:16

I can't help feeling that this will never be referred to on the ADA site
notwithstanding the fact that the senior author Samy McFarlane is a well
know endocrinologist.  Anyway, it is free for anybody to read and
consider.  We will probably pass on the motto but we also treat our
readers with respect.  A follow-up commentary is also of interest:

The case for not restricting saturated fat on a low carbohydrate diet
Jeff S Volek, Cassandra E Forsythe
Nutrition & Metabolism 2005, 2:21
