Involvement of the central nervous system in infectious mononucleosis. Report of a case with ataxia and nystagmus. Acute cerebellar syndrome of childhood. The treatment of patients with diabetes has undergone dramatic changes over the past 10 years.

Noncompliance is considered a major barrier in treating patients with diabetes.
Our study 6 involved focus groups within two Internet-based diabetes support groups using the cited information 2 as a generating tool. Participants commented on physicians' statements, and both sets of statements were compared. Albeit preliminary, our findings should warn physicians about oversimplifying barriers to diabetes care. If medical recommendations are inappropriate, compliance would be counterproductive. Furthermore, compliance itself might be inadequate in addressing a disease that requires a dynamic relationship between technical expertise of treatment and the experiential knowledge about living with diabetes.
