Diabetes and Health Wesbites

The website Sandee showed during the November 28th meeting for good general medical information is Consumer Health Complete (Ebsco) at www.oplin.org/health --

This site will ask for your zip code (or possibly any Ohio library card). Then you have access to a wealth of information including full text medical books, journal articles, pamphlets, medical dictionaries, drug and herb information, and current health news.
