Clinical Trials & Latest Medical Research
There are three websites I would start with to learn about the latest in research and clinical trials for diabetes:
- Go to JDRF.org and click on the Research tab (top left) for the latest in medical research and clinical trial information.
- CenterWatch.com has an easy-to-read list of clinical trials organized by state. The descriptions are in layman's terms. It's a good place to start.
- ClinicalTrials.com is a comprehensive government site that allows you to search for clinical trials by condition or location. This site uses the technical medical nomenclature.
Provide carb counts for the food you make. Once you figure out the carbohydrates of the ingredients, write it on the recipe for the next time.
