Review (in 1996):

This is the single best spot for diabetes information on the Web. Not only does it have detailed information for the layperson (like a careful explanation of insulin, or what "juvenile onset" means), but it's presented in an entertaining (if jarring) graphical format.

The offbeat tone takes a little getting used to (diabetics are initially referred to as "those whose Pancrei have opted for early retirement"), but the well-organized links to the world's major diabetes sites are worth hunting for. (Many of the links are gopher sites.)

What's really strange (and interesting) about this site is the Virtual Diabetic game, where you try to get Derwood the Diabetic through one adventure-packed day without ending up in the hospital. (It's hard!)

This comprehensive site even offers links to data on diabetes in cats.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
