Try Our New Rooms!

The Diabetes Health website has been recategorized to easier provide you with the topics you're looking for, and to accommodate the wide range of topics that we cover.

Our old Room layout has been replaced with a more intuitive one, with a greater amount of Rooms and more descriptive names. We hope that this restructuring effort will aid your experience with our website.

The list of rooms can be found on the left side of this page.

On the new DiabetesHealth.com we have integrated RSS feeds into all content rooms (see the navigation panel on the left of this page). For more of an explanation on RSS feeds and how they work check out the RSS page on Wikepedia.

If you subscribe to Diabetes Health RSS feeds you can be alerted whenever new content is posted on DiabetesHeath.com. You can subscribe to top headlines or - if you are interested in specific content areas (e.g. research or complications) - you can subscribe to that specific category. Simply click the RSS icon (RSS) in the room that you’re most interested in.

RSS feeds can be integrated into all popular browsers on both Macs and PCs. Mac OSX and Windows Vista also have built in RSS integration (widgets and gadgets).

Diabetes Health TV is Born

We’re also very excited about Diabetes Health TV. The emergence of video on the internet is in full swing, and we want to do our part to explore this exciting medium.

Simply click the TV button on the top of any page on this site. There you can watch product demos and interviews with celebrities with diabetes, industry experts, researchers, and more. You can also rate videos.

In addition…

This is where you come in … we want to make you a star!

We know that everyone has a story to tell. We will be looking for “field reporters” to submit their own experiences in video format that we’ll post online.

We’d love for friends of Diabetes Health to be able to document and share their own experiences living with Diabetes.
