| Jamie @JamieWritesStuf Q3. Our strengths are online. In so many communities we just don't have numbers or resources -- waves elsewhere barely ripples here #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Big issue with offline is finding a time & place in which groups of people r free 2 attend. This is increasingly difficult 4 many #dsma |
 | Alex Lee Drums @AlexLeeDrums RT @ChelcieRice: And no disrespect we DO NOT need a face (Hanks) to make the world aware. We just need to finally get fed up with halfway #DSMA |
| Gabriella @freakedfordemi RT @TomSaul7: Q3 to turn an online forum into an offline forum wouldn't have as much pull in my opinion. We're all too far away from eachother :(#dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @thomasgoffe I agree, it can be a little 'cliquish' but don't let that stop or discourage you from raising your voice and awareness. #dsma |

| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings RT @ilanalucas: Q3 My problem with taking #dsma offline is when I start shouting hashtags at people in public they run away |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin @ilanalucas HASHTAG/diabetes HASTAG/DOC HASHTAG/DSMA Ahhh! #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings RT @iamsquee: @TomSaul7 unless you live out in space, there are people in your area who are looking for D friends ;) #dsma |

| Sara Krly @ModernNightOwl @ilanalucas he he he he he too funny. #dsma |
| Holly Hillier @HillierHolly @TomSaul7 I agree with that. I'm from an area with a lot of isolated communities. This might be all they have #DSMA |
| Holly Witteman, PhD 🧃 @hwitteman @betespora :( I think people just mean donate when feasible, which won't be all the time/everyone. Hope things improve for you. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @iamsquee Yes, but most of those are T2s treated only by PCPs and have outdated care information #dsma |
| C @iamsquee GENIUS MOMENT! i bet @tomhanks can help fund #dprom!! his 'betes is welcome to attend. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @betespora @pancreassassin Last time I did OTC syringes was about ten years ago. But wow, they were not happy about selling them #dsma |

| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes @hurstej @KellyRawlings So true- interaction in person and on the #DOC is so important! #DSMA |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice I've been working a temp job for 3 months and as of today I've connected with close to 5 people there that are affected by diabetes #DSMA |
| C @iamsquee @tmana then you can help bring them up to speed! perfect opportunity for advocacy #dsma |
 | Mutima @xoxo_Mutima RT @DiabetesSocMed: Getting ready for Q3...WE do not need Pharma, Device Companies, etc. WE can work together to make things happen. #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin Have you ever met a diabetic offline, wanted to chat, and realized they were of the variety that don't want to talk about it? It's sad #dsma |
| Christina (Tina) @momof3T1s @FreakedforDemi Not me - my 3 kids all with assholes for pancreases #DSMA |
| Gabriella @freakedfordemi @xXLovelyLizXx @nickjonas Awh, he didn't call you personally? o: #dsma |

| Patrick McConnell @PatrickMcConnel Shoot... RT @DiabetesSocMed: Getting ready for Q4 (last question)-it is a loaded question. #dsma | |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice So it's safe to say you can "throw a rock" and hit someone affected by it. We gotta each start small and make a ripple #DSMA |
| Christina (Tina) @momof3T1s @DiabetesSocMed so it includes bacon? I like bacon #DSMA |
| Emily J. Hurst @hurstej #dsma there was no support or social group for #t1d adults in the area before. 75 yo was actually posting on youth forum looking for adults |

| Gabriella @freakedfordemi @StephenSType1 I couldn't agree more! #dsma |
| C @iamsquee q4 - i can see HCPs recommending for support but not for education. lots of inaccurate info on the internet. #dsma |
| Holly Hillier @HillierHolly @tomsaul7 this is true too. Years ago I was one of those people. Social media def helped me evolve and embrace the beetus ;) #DSMA |
| Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven Q4. I sure hope they start referring people to the DOC! It's made a world of difference for me! #DSMA |
| Christina (Tina) @momof3T1s Q4 - I have heard of many HCP telling patients about DOC, Twitter, blogs, DHF. We are getting there. They are letting their guard down #DSMA |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @hurstej It's the same here in Dallas, Emily. #dsma What is it with Texas? |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @StephenSType1: Our stories are important-- We must tell them, for ourselves as well as others #dsma |
| Neel Jadeja @neeljadeja I learned more about my T1D when others told me about their T1D. #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin Man, I hope we can raise awareness of the DOC with HCPs. We are a great resource, especially to newly diagnosed. #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Whoa. All the promoted Twts on this discussion have lots of carbs w/ little other nutrition. #dsma |
| Jamie @JamieWritesStuf @iamsquee @TomSaul7 @MainDog101 In a small town! Very small! We are a threesome worth reckoning with! #dsma |

| Thomas Saulnier @TomSaul7 There's a security guard at school who is type 1. So sheltered from everything we benefit from by being part of the #doc. He's too shy #dsma |
| C @iamsquee yes. #dprom. RT @KellyRawlings Q4 D-Prom. Yes. #dsma |
| John @joltdude RT @iamsquee: q4 - i can see HCPs recommending for support but not for education. lots of inaccurate info on the internet. #dsma |
| Stefan Rubin @baltimorebean Q3 real life heard of the DOC at CWD FFL and getting the secret decoder ring from @scottkjohnson so I could follow these questions #dsma |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q4 As far as HCP, they're either with us or against us. Its harsh but if a HCP can't see we're on the same team then they can bounce #DSMA |
| Patrick McConnell @PatrickMcConnel Q4, We will grow in leaps and bounds and I think HCP's will have no choice but to hear voices... #Bigger&Better #dsma | |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced RT @KellyRawlings: Q4 D-Prom. Yes. #dsma |
| Holly Witteman, PhD 🧃 @hwitteman Q4. Depends on the HCP & reason for referral. Science on online health communities so far suggests that self-referral is still best. #dsma |

| ✽♥✽VeRo✽♥✽ @vero7184 @DiabetesSocMed little did they know how much I love the #doc & #dsma! |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin I'd hope HCPs would be cool with us. All the MDs in the world can't give the practical day-to-day advice we can. #dsma |

| Ilana Lucas @ilanalucas Q4 As for the HCPs, I feel like acceptance will be a mix of our awesomeness and a pure generational shift. #dsma |
| Friedman Diabetes @fdi_diabetes RT @neeljadeja: I learned more about my T1D when others told me about their T1D. #dsma |
| Jamie @JamieWritesStuf Q4. The community will still be here, members ebb and flow (hopefully more come than go!) I'd be surprised if HCPs here would care tho #dsma |
| John @joltdude I think @GluBill is the first person iv met irl from the #doc #diabetes #dsma |
| Christina (Tina) @momof3T1s RT @PatrickMcConnel Q4, We will grow in leaps & bounds & I think HCP's will have no choice but to hear our voices... #Bigger&Better #DSMA |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin My endo has online scheduling, records, etc. They should start an online message board! #dsma |
| Holly Witteman, PhD 🧃 @hwitteman Q4. But there is emerging evidence that comms like doc provide practical advice that complements medical advice, so hopefully yes. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q4. I'm not sure where I see us in 2 years. Different membership (more, different, more T2s?) but still mostly online and unheard #dsma |
| Sara Krly @ModernNightOwl Q4 our HCP asks us each visit about the happenings in the DOC except for last month. He's told a few patients that I know for sure. #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings RT @DiabetesSocMed: RT @vero7184: RT @vero7184: @DiabetesSocMed they already do! Both my endo & diabetes educator are aware of #doc and tried telling me about it... #dsma |
| Neel Jadeja @neeljadeja Q4. A stronger community if pancreas' were valued as much as boobs. We're so screwed. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q4. The community will get bigger- no doubt. HCPs are starting to come around. WE all have responsibility to make it even better #dsma |
| Gabriella @freakedfordemi RT @xXLovelyLizXx: |

| C @iamsquee beep beep RT @KellyRawlings Honk if you like the questions on #dsma tonight. |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q4. OTOH, given the shortages in HCPs predicted under Obamacare, we will be more important than ever in helping fellow PWDs #dsma |
| Thomas Saulnier @TomSaul7 Seriously. When they switched to diasend, it was me personally who set it up on their computers. #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings RT @hwitteman: Q4. But there is emerging evidence that comms like doc provide practical advice that complements medical advice, so hopefully yes. #dsma |
