(PRWEB) January 7, 2004 --DiaTrak announced today that its fourth-quarter enrollment rate for 2003 surpassed the original target, reflecting an increase of more than 270% over third-quarter enrollment! "Needless to say, we're thrilled to see our membership grow at such an incredible pace," stated DiaTrak President, Brent Long.

Non diabetic members typically consist of people on weight management programs, including lo-carb dieters who use the site for it's news area, weight tracking feature and a searchable version of the USDA food database that allows users to determine key data (such as carbohydrate, fat and sodium content) for over 10,000 foods.
