The Diabetes Federation of Ireland contains a number of interesting diabetes links, information on activities around Ireland and membership information.
Diabetes Insight is full of up-to-date information and articles about diabetes. It will also provide you with information on how to subscribe to support@diabetic.org.uk, a UK-based mailing list that has provided me with advice, support, and friendship for over a year. Highly recommended!
Insulin Pumpers UK provides information, support and educational materials to people with diabetes, their families, and medical professionals.

Who am I? Elizabeth OShea works as a writer, and spends a lot of time on voluntary activity. Most of this activity is now focused on diabetes.
She was diagnosed as having type I diabetes on 30 December 1997, two weeks
after arriving in San Francisco, where she had gone for an adventure.
And what an adventure it was! She tends to be zealous in her
approach to diabetes, but her message is simple: your doctor doesn't
know everything, so you better find out for yourself and you do
not have to get complications!
