I stumbled upon this website. It is American and seems to have a lot of information. New research etc.
I haven't looked at it all but seems quite a good site.

Incidentally case nobody knows about stumble upon http://www.stumbleupon.com/

Derek, thanks for the suggestion and sorry to be negative but... Any site that gets you to put in your interests usually only has one thing in mind to target you with advertising. If you read their privacy section (stumbleupon) they explicitly state they may do this. I'm not saying this should stop you using the site, just making you and others think about what they share on the internet. You should also read the privacy section on battlediabetes, where they don't take responsibility for advertisers on their site !

This site (DAFNEOnline) does not and will not share your info with anyone since we are DAFNE Graduates like you. However if google come along with a big financial offer who knows Wink I have a family to feed after all Very Happy
