There are many websites that give accurate medical information. Some of the websites that I like to go to for reliable information are listed below. These websites are not listed in any specific order.
http://www.diabetes.org/- This website has great info on both types of diabetes. It also provides knowledge on how to change the way you live. Diabetes.org was created by many people who have been around diabetes. This includes those who have it, have a loved one who has it, or people medically tied to diabetes. Each of these types of people have different stories, and skills that relate back to diabetes.
https://www.heart.org/ explains ways to improve the way you live, such as losing weight, diet, mental health, and exercise. It also gives details on diseases' related to the heart. This is a great resource when you have questions related to heart health.
http://www.strokeassociation.org/STROKEORG/ This website gives reliable information on strokes. It goes into detail with what causes strokes, and ways to reduce the risk of stroke to prevent it from happening again.
https://emedicine.medscape.com/ is different from the other websites above. This website is full of general medical information. It has details related to all kinds of sickness' and diseases. It also has information on different types of drugs. This includes side effects, and reasons not to take them. This website is very user friendly, and allows you to look up symptoms to see what you could possibly have. The information is more reliable than WebMD.
https://www.cdc.gov/ is very similar to medscape in the fact it is used more for general information. The CDC is somewhere to go if there are any questions related to diseases that are easily given to one another. The website has specific details on all known sicknesses, and outbreaks. It also talks about the ones that need to be reported state wide and nationally. The CDC monitors outbreaks of illness, as well as treatment and research.
Each of these websites are helpful when trying to find medical information. Each one has positives and negatives. Find the one you like the most, and stick with it.
