Dia Mundial do Diabete: 14 de Novembro.

The Lancet: "Last month, a day after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sitagliptin phosphate (Januvia) to treat type 2 diabetes, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a collaborative effort by US regulators and government agencies in Canada and Mexico to stop deceptive internet advertisements and sales of products misrepresented as cures or treatments for diabetes. Warnings and advisories were sent to online outlets in all three countries. The FTC also launched a consumer education campaign on how to avoid phony diabetes cures using a bogus website that promotes a purported cure, Glucobate. When the visitor clicks to order the product, the site reveals information about avoiding ads for phony cure-alls in the future.
To help physicians better treat the burgeoning number of patients with diabetes, and to help patients help themselves, many websites offer useful information.
From the USA, the FDA's Diabetes Information site offers user-friendly information on glucose meters and other aspects of diabetes management. The robust National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, a service of the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, includes links to clinical trials, and reports, guidelines, access to relevant databases, and education materials for patients. The American Diabetes Association Website offers extensive educational materials for the public and health professionals.
Useful UK sites include Diabetes UK, a charity that funds research and provides education for people with diabetes and health professionals. Highlights here are a diabetes awareness tool to help meet the needs of diverse communities and various reports and statistics. The National Library for Health's Diabetes Specialist Library is filled with relevant reviews, studies, and information. This website can be used in conjunction with the National Diabetes Support Team, which offers news, guidance, advice, information, and online forums for health-care professionals implementing the Diabetes National Service Framework.
For a global view of diabetes, visit WHO's non-communicable disease prevention and health promotion page and the diabetes section of the global strategy on diet, physical activity, and health.
