Useful Online Resources Hosting Information on Obesity and Diabetes

The internet has become such an omnipresent service, which, in the view of many, has already upgraded from slave to master and quite a tyrannical one. Whatever the feelings, scientific information would not flow worldwide without the tool, in such unlimited amounts. Just as an example, gene sequencing and metabolomics as well as the related precision medicine approach as now envisaged would be inconceivable. Each omics analysis and clinical correlation would be labor intensive and take weeks to be conducted, instead of minutes or seconds and rather negligible expenditures, without internet-available search engines and reference libraries. The same applies for large biobank screening and biostatistical interventions, for both clinical and research purposes. This chapter has listed a large choice of useful obesity, bariatric, type 1 and 2 diabetes sites, as well as general internet sources, most of them costless, geared at the needs of office or bedside assistance, laboratory investigation, and educational or public health initiatives.
