The NIDDK does not diagnose or provide specific medical advice. A doctor who has examined you and knows your medical history is the best person to answer your medical questions.
The NIDDK offers general information on various health topics. To review available topics, visit our Health Information landing page. If we don’t cover the topic you are looking for, the NIH Health Information may be of use.
You can search the NIH's MedlinePlus for consumer-friendly information, including links to health topics, medical tests, videos, and more.
You can also search another NIH resource, PubMed, for scientific papers, journals, and online books. These articles are often written at an advanced scientific level. Your doctor or another trusted health care professional may be able to help you understand them.
For further assistance send your question to the NIDDK Health Information Center, or call us at 1-800-860-8747 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday – Friday.
