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.

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).
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.
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.
Speak Out When Schools Eliminate Full-Time Nurses!

Fires. Earthquakes. Floods. Hurricanes. Things we don't want to think about, that we don't think can happen to us. But they can. Hurricane Katrina illustrated how quickly emergencies can arise that force people to abandon their homes. In the rush to get to safety, sometimes vital items are lost or forgotten.
