Diabetes-related Social Networking
The online social networking scene has hit the diabetes world. Not that this is particularly new. Diabetes-related online social networks have been around a few years now and places like facebook, myspace, LinkedIn, and Flickr have been around even longer.
According to Manny Hernandez, founder of TuDiabetes, there are at least two dozen diabetes-related social networks (as of May 2009). I wouldn’t be surprised if there are even more now. Because I found eight in about 15 minutes of searching online. Below are the ones I found and I’ve also included a brief description taken from their site:
Site Description
tudiabetes “a community of people touched by diabetes, run by the Diabetes Hands Foundation“
juvenation “a Type 1 Diabetes community created by the JDRF.”
dLife Community “information, inspiration, and connection with others who share your challenges and concerns.”
