Each month we review a website that contains information on hypoglycemia. This month we review Wikipedia's diabetic hypoglycemia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_hypoglycemia).

Webpage overview

Wikipedia is a comprehensive encyclopedic reference on the Internet to which anybody may contribute, making the information dynamic and up-to-date. The diabetic hypoglycemia entry in Wikipedia is primarily aimed at nonspecialists in the field of diabetic medicine, such as nurses and general practitioners, students, people with diabetes and their families, and any other lay person who may require information on diabetic hypoglycemia. The page covers the etiology and symptomatology of diabetic hypoglycemia as well as current treatment options.
