USEFUL ADDRESSES & WEBSITES
INDEX
We list below a number of topics for which we have found some interesting websites. We include some direct links - just click on the blue underlined word or phrase. We cannot vouch for the content of other websites - although all of the listed sites have been looked at a website is a dynamic thing that changes. Clearly websites belonging to established organisations such as the British Diabetic Association can be relied upon with more certainty. We do include some American websites because we feel that the content is interesting but please bear in mind that medical practice in the States is quite different in a number of areas.
As a guide we put an (R) next to the names of websites that we recommend that you visit and a (?) next to websites that are included out of interest but which may not contain wholly orthodox material.
If you have any comments or ideas for other links please Email us. If you find any broken links please copy the URL to BROKEN LINKS.
