On-line Diabetes Resources

Part 9: Non-English Web Sites

By David Mendosa

Last Update: July 9, 2010

This Web page brings together in one place descriptions of and links to only those Web pages in languages other than English dealing with diabetes, but is linked to the 15 other On-line Diabetes Resources pages dealing with other Web pages, other parts of the Internet, and other on-line services. Those links that I think are especially valuable are marked in red.

Other Resources

  25. type1diabetic.com was created and is maintained by a twenty year old college student attending the University of Central Florida. Nowhere on the site is there any indication who that person is. Does that make you want to trust it? I sure don't. Fortunately, there isn't much here that you need to trust. Actually, a post March 17 on alt.support.diabetes from Fran Grysko gave the game away. "My son Tim just finished his new web site called www.type1diabetic.com," she writes. "Tim has been type1 diabetic for 10 years now and has been using a pump for 3 years, Tim is a computer major...." Almost all of the information on the site was lifted from U.S. government sites. There is a link to a chat room, but it is not one created by the site.

    The tutorial is in the process of being translated into Italian—see http://www.2aida.org/italian—and the AIDA developers would be keen to see it translated into other languages as well. Diabetes Webmasters with non-English language sites who would like to receive the HTML code and graphics for free for translation and display at their own site are invited to contact the AIDA Developers via the on line contact form at http://www.2aida.org/contact.
