global information about diabetes
When it comes to
Information about diabetes on the world wide web, it should be taken with a pinch of salt since the anonymity of the internet has made it easy for just about anyone to post information about diabetes and we as the audience have no idea how to trust this source.
Follow these few simple rules when reading information about diabetes online:
・ The source must be considered an authority – most informational sites like Web MD or Wikipedia are considered trusted sources of information.
・ The Website Age – Scam artists are always caught so they do not stick around for long
・ Always up to date – An authority site will always have new and fresh information
・ Forums and social Media – Information from forums has been already disseminated by others and thus can be trusted
・ Major News sites – Major news sites are held to the same journalistic integrity as regular print media and their information could be trusted.
・ Government sites – Governmental sources are trustworthy because they will not knowingly spread false information
・ The American Diabetes Association – The ADA is an organization geared towards diabetics and it will not knowingly spread false information which would discredit it.
As a
Diabetic always decimate this information with a grain of salt and question your sources before blindly following its advice
