As part of the recent EASD conference looking at diabetes research and treatments, a Diabetes Online Community day and a social media summit were run. (I wasn't there - this is just from the reportage from the event).
One of the takeaways from those attending this event was that the diabetes online community isn't inclusive enough and doesn't represent people with type 2 properly, and that those involved in the community should "help" those who wanted to to become more active in the DOC.
As one of the largest mixed diabetes communities, I wanted to gather your thoughts on this, and whether you think that
A) there's an issue here
B) What you'd like to see change
C) Do you want to be involved in Twitter/Instagram or Facebook more heavily?
D) Would you volunteer to be sponsored to attend diabetes conferences?
I'm interested to hear direct from a large, mixed, online community what you think of this.
