Children with Diabetes

This site is run by Diabetes123, an online diabetes care system, based in Ohio, but with a panel of worldwide experts. The site has numerous fun ways at getting kids interested in diabetes information such as a question-and-answer service called "The D-Team", chat rooms, recipes, personal webpages of diabetic kids and adults, an online poll with real time results, a section for the "Quilt for Life" and several diabetes-related e-mail lists.
