Hi Grumpy

Get ready for information overload:-)

I've listed some links below, but by far the most important
one is
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm

This is not an exhaustive list, but some, like Mendosa, have
links to many others. Those which require registration have
never sent me a spam or promotion. I'm sure other posters
can add to the list, but this is as short as I can make mine
for newbies:-)

yours:-)

And finally, a great Australian support site which accepts
international members for young people with diabetes:

I attempt to keep them current - please let me know if any
links have changed. It is worth checking the new beta on the
Highwire site.

Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.

I'm doing a little research, and have a few questions, if some of y'all
will take a few moments to help.  I expect that any answers will also be
useful to the other readers of this group.

1. Are there any web sites that you go to for advice on which diabetes
supplies (meters, etc) are best?

2. Are there any web sites that you go to for advice on which vitamins
and supplements are helpful (or useless, or worse...)?

3. Are there any web sites that you go to in order to keep abreast of
the latest medical news pertaining to the treatment of diabetes?

Thanks!

Richard
