***INTERNET CAUTIONS***<br />
The Internet is a wonderful tool to find information<br />
regarding just about every subject area, including<br />
diabetes. However, this material is uncensored.<br />
Check for disclaimers when visiting a website. Be<br />
careful when purchasing products. <strong>For</strong> example,<br />
purchasing insulin and having it shipped by<br />
conventional methods may expose it to extreme cold<br />
or heat. Before changing any medications or insulin,<br />
consult <strong>with</strong> your health care provider. Be cautious of<br />
vitamins, minerals, herbs and alternative medicines.<br />
Discuss any new information or products <strong>with</strong> your<br />
health care provider before trying them. Some of<br />
these substances may actually worsen your condition.<br />
Many of these websites offer products that may not<br />
be supported by the American <strong>Diabetes</strong> Association.<br />
