Diabetes Spectrum, American Diabetes Association; November 2013 vol. 26 no. 4 232-235
This article addresses modern patients’ insatiable need for information as they make daily choices in managing diabetes. It introduces the resources available to diabetes patients and caregivers against the backdrop of the limitations medical practices face in meeting patients’ information and sup- port needs.
