Diabetes Resources
You’ve read the chapters, now dive deeper! Welcome to your diabetes hub: a launchpad to trusted websites, support groups, teen-friendly guides, camps, devices, and tools that make life with type 1, type 2, or MODY a little easier.
The links below are a great starting point, but your endocrinologist, diabetes educator, dietitian, and nurses often know about local resources this guide can’t cover, like nearby support groups, camps, pump and CGM trainers, or patient programs in your area. Always ask them what they recommend for you.
Guidelines I Cross-Check Against
The clinical guidelines behind the diabetes content on this site
Aside from the sources I describe on my Standards page, I cross-check all content against nationally and internationally recognized guidelines, which set the benchmark for every diabetes chapter, tool and quiz here. I check again whenever a new version is published.
ISPAD, International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes · ADA, American Diabetes Association, Standards of Care in Diabetes
