my 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.
Here are a few rules of thumb to follow when disseminating information about diabetes on the internet:
・ The source must be authoritative – Sites like WebMD and Wikipedia are considered authority sites and can be trusted.
・ How long has the website been around – Scam artists are always a quick hit and run operation.
・ Daily or regularly updated content. – An authority site will always have new and fresh information
・ Forums and social Media – information about diabetes in forums has already been filtered by others and is thus more reliable.
・ Major News sites – Major news sites are held to the same journalistic integrity as regular print media and their information could be trusted.
・ Government Sources – Governmental sources are trustworthy because they will not knowingly spread false information
・ The ADA – the American Diabetes association will provide accurate information as a trade association for its members.
As a
Diabetic always decimate this information with a grain of salt and question your sources before blindly following its advice
