Improved Web Site On Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

Format: Web Site
Institute: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

A new and improved Web site offers researchers and people searching for health information more online information in an easier-to-use format.

The Web site is easier to navigate, contains more resources, and has several new user-friendly functions. Users who visit www.niddk.nih.gov will now enjoy a stable health education section with consumer-focused information about diabetes, endocrine and metabolic diseases, weight control, nutrition, digestive diseases, kidney and urologic diseases, and some blood diseases. You can find statistics, links to additional resources, and an order form for easy access to printed copies of NIDDK publications. A variety of NIDDK’s award-winning publications are available in Spanish.

“Our Web site is truly the public face of the NIDDK,” said Acting NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers. “It facilitates the conversation among biomedical researchers at our universities and small businesses, the American public, and the Institute. With this new Web site, we hope to invite greater participation and better serve our mission of improved health for the American people.”
