Diabetes Dateline

NDIC Publishes Updated Diabetes Dictionary

We've updated The Diabetes Dictionary. This 44-page booklet includes more than 300 diabetes-related medical terms and is appropriate for people with diabetes, their families, friends, and caregivers. The dictionary can also serve as a quick reference for health professionals who need to explain medical concepts in simpler terms. The Diabetes Dictionary can benefit people who have been recently diagnosed with diabetes as well as those who have had it for years.

The booklet is available online at diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/dictionary/index.htm. A Spanish version will be available in early 2003. These patient education materials are a public service and are not copyrighted. Make as many copies as you wish.
