Federal resources on the Internet abound, and nearly all have hyperlinks to other sites. The CDC page in turn links to more sites. ADA also hosts a forum on America Online, with online chats and self-help schedules. CompuServe, another commercial online service, offers a diabetes forum, and there are dozens of usegroups. Online diabetes magazines, known as electronic or e-zines, cater to children with diabetes as well as adults.
Many more sites are under construction or go online every day.
CDC, for example, soon will unveil statistical information by State. The Internet grows exponentially, so every day there are more health information resources and services for consumers and health professionals. Use directories and databases. Read the abstracts and click on links to sites of interest. Save the best sites as bookmarks.
