Where do you turn for breaking diabetes news?
Curious where people go for headlines on research, events, new devices & developments. Do you use Google Alerts or any other sources that deliver updates? How do you rate the one(s) you subscribe to? Pros & cons?
Is this something you’d like to see more frequently on Tu?
Thanks for your thoughts & suggestions.

I figure if something happens someone will post about it here?

In addition to reading TuDiabetes on most days I also regularly follow DiabetesMine and diaTribe. Less frequently I check into the JDRF website for research news and any news on the Artificial Pancreas Project. These four sources seem to cover most of the diabetes news that interests me.

I added a custom section to Google news for diabetes as well as for low carb high fat diet and paleolithic life which has a lot of diet news items. These are all canned choices, I believe you can add a custom one of your own with your own choices for keywords.

Well there's never really any interesting news to me; it seems as though they've been reaching AMAZING milestones towards a cure since the dawn of man, and all research groups are separated and don't wanna cooperate and form alliances, so I got bored of the drama haha

On the days that I work, I tend to use Facebook so that I can have all the info coming in on one newsfeed. Bloodsugar 101 has a page which you can like. Jenny posts links and the members can comment. There is a TuD member who runs 2 Facebook groups. One is T2 and the other is Canadian. She too posts great links and members comment.

My favourite blog continues to be "Trials and Tribulations of a Type One Diabetic" . She has lots of great information including info about complications. Also, Natalie is developing a great blog.... "The Odd Duck Out".

My own personal preference is posts to a thread that contain some information with a link if I want to persue it further.Kind of like the headlines on my google gadgets. I'm not big on reading blogs, so if I just see a link with no description I ignore it. That's just me.
