| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed #Q 1. Diabetes is a physically and financially draining. Does the toll of diabetes affect your overall health? if so, how? #dsma |
| Shara Bialo @SharaSays @rcarol9 I think that's #antisocialmedia ;) #dsma |
| Allison @allyncl #Q 1. Diabetes is a physically and financially draining. Does the toll of diabetes affect your overall health? if so, how? #dsma |
| John @joltdude I have forgotten what a full nights rest feels like #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q1.Diabetes is physically & financially draining. Does the toll of diabetes affect your overall health? if so,how? #dsma |
| C @iamsquee q1 - diabetes affects my mood, which i think can potentially play a role in overall health. usually it pisses me off. #dsma |
| Bennet @BadShoe Q1 as a T1D parent the stress at times has had big impacts on physical and emotional health #dsma |
| Wyld_Celtica_Visitor @Wyld_Celtica_V Q1 #dsma I have good insurance, but I get down sometimes, wondering 'Why?' or afraid I'll have problems at work. a little stress. |
| @rcarol9 Q1. I think my stress and anger levels are higher than they would be if I didn't have it. Although stress pre-D wasn't much better. #dsma | |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced Q1. Diabetes has got to affect my overall mental/emotional exhaustion. I push through it, but damn. #dsma |
| Mocha @ECEMocha Q1. Burnout. #dsma |
| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes @Wyld_Celtica_V didn't know about that! Great news #Dsma |
| OneWildLife @asweetgrace Q1: Not slept a full night's sleep in 4 yrs. OK, I sleep for the wk G goes to D-camp, So, 4 years minus 4 weeks so far, no sleep. #dsma |
| @rcarol9 @SharaSays Haha, I get sort of stressed out on SM. So many people, so many opinions, so much to take it. #dsma | |
| Anna @pianogirl416 Q1: I'm probably in better physical shape then I would be without D cause it helps motivate me to workout. #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q1 #dsma no complications. I exercise a lot and other #s, bp, cho, hr are great. Sometimes I feel a bit nuts though |
| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes It sure does affect mental health. #Dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @jopo1981 welcome to #dsma |
 | Michael Schwab @mikelcycle #dsma |
| Holly Witteman, PhD 🧃 @hwitteman Q1. I honestly don't know. I don't have a non-d control self. But how can it not affect it in some way? #dsma |
| Brett Farmer @farmer1279 @sixuntilme Sorry, my DD would happily send you 4 fruit snacks, that would fix her right up! #dsma |
| OneWildLife @asweetgrace Q1: $$$ suck of $7,000 last year. Wowsa. That includes $300 spent on juice alone. Yes, I saved the receipts. #dsma |
| Sean M. Oser @seanoser Q1. Different ways at diff times. Can take nearly all effort/attention and drag down but can improve health too with healthier habits. #dsma |
| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes @pianogirl416 great attitude! #Dsma |
| Lindsey Guerin @diabeticechoes Q1. Definitely. Recovery, risk, worry/concern is higher. "is this a complication?" runs wild at the slightest thing. #dsma |
| Bennet @BadShoe @CGMBDiabetesDuo Here does this help? #dsma http://t.co/oxVKup9rRg |
| @rcarol9 RT @KarenBittrSweet Q1: I think it makes me more aware of my health overall. I also think it contributes to my feelings of depression #dsma | |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q1. It seems to add to the stress... just a bit. Also makes me count my blessings. At least I have access to care & drugs #dsma |
| John @joltdude Plus dealing with all the oppurtunistic health issues that ride along with #diabetes is tiring as well #dsma |
| Allison @allyncl Q1. yes, somestimes feeling like everything bad is b/c of D. but, mostly when I want the best med coverage and it feels unattainable. #dsma |
 | Douglas @salguodmai @walkthedragon88 wish my dreadmill had a computer so I could keep reading #dsma #running |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Yes, it does. RT @fdi_diabetes: It sure does affect mental health. #Dsma |
| Cheri Pate @princessldybg Q1. Worry about the financial side robs me of sleep & peace of mind. And diabetes complicates every other health issue I have. #dsma |
| Jim Jordan @jimjordan68 Q1 Not so much physical health as mental health. High standards hard to meet :-) #DSMA |
| Bennet @BadShoe @sixuntilme Be gooder. #dsma (that should make sense at 52) |
| Brian @notmycell Q1. Yes and no. the drain is more when you have that low and something else needing to be done and D has ducked it up AGAIN. #dsma |
| Wyld_Celtica_Visitor @Wyld_Celtica_V #dsma and, for the record, I've got the best A1c I've seen in years. 6.4%!! YAY!! |
| @rcarol9 Q1. In college it was still new, so my stress levels were through the ROOF. Organic chem, neuroscience classes, physics AND learning D #dsma | |
| Rachel Kerstetter, APR @ProbablyRachel Q1 Yes, it's especially draining when it messes with my sleep. #dsma |

| Patrick McConnell @PatrickMcConnel Q1, I don't let it effect my overall well being, knowing I have a support team (The DOC) helps enormously... #dsma | |
| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes @DiabetesSocMed as a health care provider, I wish all my patients with D knew that, and know they aren't alone #Dsma |
| Anna @pianogirl416 To Medtronic CGM users: if you could message me with your experiences that would be great. Think of seeing of my insurance will cover. #dsma |

| Wyld_Celtica_Visitor @Wyld_Celtica_V Q 2 #dsma Bigger picture... future? I don't worry as I used to. but I wonder if a new ache or something is the D or just me at 57 y.o.a. |

| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Q2 I used to think, "Well, I have #diabetes. Surely I won't get other health problems." #youngnaive #dsma |
| Lindsey Guerin @diabeticechoes Q2. D makes me strive for better health overall. I also cater to my body a lot because I don't want to push and wake up destroyed. #dsma |
| @rcarol9 Q2. Well, it just sort of adds to everything. Doesn't help w/ anxiety. It's easier to slip into melancholy, but I eat less junk food? #dsma | |
| Rachel Kerstetter, APR @ProbablyRachel Q2 Diabetes forces me to take better care of my health in general so I'm healthier now than 2 years ago! #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced RT @sixuntilme: Q2. Diabetes IS the big picture of my health. When it sucks, my health overall sucks. #dsma |
| Bennet @BadShoe @asweetgrace @sixuntilme did I just say happy, I need a sign that says Very *Effing* Happy. Almost as happy as every pic. of her kid. #dsma |

| Patrick McConnell @PatrickMcConnel Q2, "D" Is my get out of jail free card... for everything ... #dsma | |

| Holly Witteman, PhD 🧃 @hwitteman Q2. It isn't so much that it fits into the picture, it's more that it completely reframes it. #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q2 #dsma my health revolves around diabetes but benefits from having learned to eat consciously. And fighting with insurance, of course... |
| Mocha @ECEMocha I feel like D is almost like an alien parasite that has it's slimy fingers in all aspects of my health #dsma |

| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Q3 I think it's silly my PCP runs A1C tests. Let Ms. Endo do that. As in "communicate." #dsma |

| John @joltdude Really wish there was one stop shopping if your sick, but pcp shuffles you to endo or cde #dsma |

| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q5. Be transparent about our own shortcomings so that others can feel free to admit their own. Once voiced, these obstacles are easier #dsma |
| Shara Bialo @SharaSays @DrexelEndo @DiabetesMine @BadShoe Especially helpful for families w/ financial/travel constraints (that can't attend support groups). #dsma |

| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay @hwitteman Kind of you to say… thank you! #dsma |
| Sean M. Oser @seanoser @rcarol9 Absolutely, but doctors tend to cede more T1 mgmt responsibility and share T2 more with patients. T2 definitely self-mgmt too #dsma |
