 | NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d Good evening #dsma! The flooding in the DC/MD/VA area on Monday made for a very hectic work week. Sunshine today made things much easier. |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q1. At what age were you diagnosed with diabetes? #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A1. 21 #DSMA |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @SweeterCherise A1: 43 #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q1. Diagnosed at age 28, nearly 29 #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A1: I was diagnosed at 52. #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O Hoping the caffeine keeps you alert, but not j-j-j-jittery! #DSMA |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama A1: Prediabetes at age 42. #dsma |
 | “Hipster Dufus” Cowboy🌹💉 @MPAVictoria Type 1 at 34. It came as quite the fucking shock |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q1: I was 18.5 just home from my first semester of college. #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana A1. About a month after my 42nd birthday #dsma |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q1 age 43! #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q1: My son was dx’d just before he turned two. #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Twins!! :) #DSMA |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A1 - 19 years old #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed We are going to circle back to age in a bit. #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica @SweeterCherise I didn't know you were diagnosed at 23! #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels I was 2 years old. Thirty... eight... years... ago. Good grief. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q2. Do you consider diabetes a condition or disease? Why? #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A2. I consider diabetes a chronic disease. #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A2 I'm not sure what the difference is but it is a disease in my head, a chronic one at that #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O @T1NurseFred I got the flu that started the autoimmune response @ 18.5 #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q2. Do you consider diabetes a condition or disease? Why? #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama What a great question! I am totally intrigued by the answers of those with diabetes, and what HCP may say. #dsma @AADEdiabetes |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q2: I always say condition because disease sounds like it’s contagious. But I find I care less about semantics as the years go on. #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q2: I guess Chronic condition. I feel like disease makes it seem like it can be cured. #DSMA |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A2. oooh. Most often I think of it as a #condition, because it does not get better and it will probably get worse. However, when I am taking my meds, it is at that moment that I think of it as a #disease. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q2. Both... Disease sounds like something I've been diagnosed with. Condition sounds like something I live with #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed If you are new to #dsma, please let us know, so we can give you a nice warm welcome. |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon RT @StephenSType1: Q2. Both... Disease sounds like something I've been diagnosed with. Condition sounds like something I live with #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. A condition. A disease suggests something contagious (even if only slowly and with much difficulty) #dsma |
 | ChrisV @Chri5solas @DiabetesSocMed Q1. Age 10 #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A2. I guess I don't really use either word. I just say I have diabetes. I've never thought about whether it's a condition or disease until now. Interested in what the difference is. #DSMA |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels Tough question. Both. I tend to refer to diabetes as a condition when it affects life, positively or negatively. It's a disease when I'm referring to it clinically or pathologically. And when I'm mad at it. #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A2. I like to refer to diabetes as a chronic condition, because folks react "differently (and not always helpfully)" to hearing "disease". Also, I don't think of myself as diseased, but having a condition (yes, difficult) that's a part of me. #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @tmana: Q2. A condition. A disease suggests something contagious (even if only slowly and with much difficulty) #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @iamsqueeisback Your first sentence. Me below 😬#dsma https://t.co/SbKLFwu112 |
| ChrisV @Chri5solas @DiabetesSocMed Q2. A chronic disease. I've had this argument for years... And I don't want to start an argument now lol. #dsma |
 | Gautam Narang @hylozoists Good Morning from India. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava @hylozoists Good morning! #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists A2. Maybe a disorder. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana If it were specifically a *disease*, I'd suspect we know one or more causative microorganisms and be working on eradicating them #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @hylozoists Disorder is probably the most accurate definition. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @Chri5solas We do not argue here. Your perception is your reality. We do not want to change or argue about it. That's what makes us all different and awesome.😊 #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O I think blaming the pancreas is an area we need to change. IMO the pancreas is the victim, especially in T1D. #DSMA |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama RT @DiabetesSocMed: @Chri5solas We do not argue here. Your perception is your reality. We do not want to change or argue about it. That's what makes us all different and awesome.😊 #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica @iamsqueeisback @DiabetesSocMed Glad you're back! #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q2= your thoughts and opinions. #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A2, part 2: I don’t know what the correct definition is, but in my self-management world, my thinking best aligns with condition, and I suppose that works best for me. #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama @SweetHiyachica @iamsqueeisback @DiabetesSocMed Me too!! #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @YOGA_O One option is to blame one's parents, especially if D "runs in the family". Passing on bad genes, right? #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @T2DRemission Thank you! I know, I wanted to see what everyone thought. #dsma |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q2 it's not something that I've ever thought about #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q3. Let is sink in for a second. Do you live with diabetes? Or are you LIVING with diabetes? #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q3. Let is sink in for a second. Do you live with diabetes? Or are you LIVING with diabetes? #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A3 quick hit: I am living LOUDER with #diabetes. Now I will try to let it sink in. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. When we know the exact causative factors for each different type of "diabetes", then we MIGHT be able to name "diseases" #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @iamsqueeisback Don't be sorry. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for taking the time to participate today. #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @SweeterCherise A3. While I am in insulin-free honeymoon I live with diabetes. It sits on the sofa and doesn't pay rent . I expect when it becomes a full time job, I'll be living with it. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A3. Actually, I think I'm LIVING in spite of diabetes! #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists A3. I am diabetes now. Diabetes has displaced my original being and is using my body, mind to achieve its aim. #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels The two are indistinguishable for me. I can't do the former without doing the latter. #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q3: Truly, I’d have to ask B. But I think he’s LIVING in all caps with diabetes. He’s an exuberant and living large kind of kid. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q3. I'm living. I have diabetes. Most of the time I can ignore it - but I'm not sure I'm LIVING, rather than EXISTING or SURVIVING #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q3. I am living with diabetes. I like the positivity of saying that. Makes me feel like I still own my life #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama Love this attitude! #dsma |
| ChrisV @Chri5solas @DiabetesSocMed Q3. Both. I have to live with it, but do my best to enjoy life despite it. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @StephenSType1: Q3. I am living with diabetes. I like the positivity of saying that. Makes me feel like I still own my life #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q3: LIVING with diabetes because I refuse to give it power. Even on the hard days. This is MY life and I will do what I want. #DSMA |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms And now the superstitious voice in my head will say a kenahora to ward off the evil eye. Praising my kid when he’s away from home makes me nervous... #dsma 😂😳 |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @T1NurseFred: Q3: Q3: LIVING with diabetes because I refuse to give it power. Even on the hard days. This is MY life and I will do what I want. #DSMA |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A3. Part of my story is the first 25 years, I survived. With education and the right tools, I now thrive. So I'm gonna go with ... LIVING with diabetes! #DSMA https://t.co/EDplZ0zEDm |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A3. I guess both. #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @T1NurseFred: Q3: Q3: LIVING with diabetes because I refuse to give it power. Even on the hard days. This is MY life and I will do what I want. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed A lot of interesting perspectives.Thanks for opening up and sharing. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q4. Do you think the age that you were diagnosed or life journey affects your answer to Q3? If so, why? #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @Emmerbetic @DiabetesSocMed Maladyabetic #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms @T2DRemission @DiabetesSocMed Hey that’s astute! 😉 #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @thisislaurent: |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q4. Do you think the age that you were diagnosed or life journey affects your answer to Q3? If so, why? #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @thisislaurent: |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A4 I am very glad I got T1D later in life. I am mentally and financially much more capable of dealing with it than I would have been as a teenager, for example. No drama at diagnosis, acceptance kicked in straight away. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed I love this. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q4. Yes, I think both affect that answer #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @thisislaurent: |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q4. Actually, I think it has more to do with what I've learned in the past 10 years, and the stage of life I'm in (hint: I'm old) #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A4. I feel like I took #T1D in stride more than if it had been my first diagnosis. I already had cerebral palsy and mitochondrial disease. #DSMA |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q4: I do. Especially as a parent we are biased toward positivity. Especially with a toddler. IMO #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @tmana: Q4. Yes, I think both affect that answer #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms @BethH926 @DiabetesSocMed Sometimes you’re the windshield.. sometimes you’re the bug. #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels For me, no. But I can see how it might, especially for those of us who were dx'd later and can recall life before and since diabetes. #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q4: yes, because I remember life w/o it and was diagnosed at an where I was exploring the world and making decisions on my own for the first time. I didn’t want diabetes to change that. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @verylightnosuga Hi Ally! Welcome back. #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A4: I think yes, better said, I suspect yes. I think that if I were diagnosed at a younger age, I would have handled it differently. Right now, I have big reservoir of acceptance running through me. Adaptability is more efficient than revolution. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @verylightnosuga I wish I could retweet this. #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A4. I'm unclear on how to answer that because it's so binary (Sugar-normal v. not) #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A4. Yes. At dx my parents were told I might live to my 20's. I'll be 73 this month, so I said in spite of that diagnosis. #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @T2DRemission @staceysimms @DiabetesSocMed Instastute #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists A4. Maybe. But definitely the number of years with diabetes makes a big difference in thinking and personality #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q5. Place these things in order of importance to you, access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies and affordability #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d @woodonwheels Sometimes that memory can cut both ways. It is very tricky to manage such things. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q5. Place these things in order of importance to you, access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies and affordability #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O @StephenSType1 You are mature, seasoned even! #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Also, how invasive your diabetes care is, can affect whether you're living or LIVING... #dsma |
 | Jasmine Gonzalvo @JasGonzalvo RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q5. Place these things in order of importance to you, access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies and affordability #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q5. Place these things in order of importance to you, access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies and affordability #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q5: Access to care, affordability, peer support, health literacy, policies, government #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @T1NurseFred: Q5: Q5: Access to care, affordability, peer support, health literacy, policies, government #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q5. In order of importance: peer support, policies and affordability, access to care, health literacy, government #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A5 Health literacy, peer support, affordability, policies, gvt. If I understand my disease and work with others, the problems raised by the other factors can be managed e.g. I have a rechargeable Dexcom G5 thanks to the community. I'll never pay for a transmitter again #DSMA |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q5. Place these things in order of importance to you, access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies and affordability #dsma |
| ChrisV @Chri5solas @DiabetesSocMed Q5. #dsma Affordability. Literacy. Support. Access. Policies. Government. |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A5: health literacy access to care peer support affordability government policies #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q5 (continued) Though government generally resides somewhere within policies and affordability #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava misses Q5 #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels Q5. My order tonight would be: (1) Access to care, (2) Policies and affordability, (3) Peer support, (4) Health literacy, (5) and (barely) government. I don't have a lot of faith in U.S. lawmakers these days. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @nextwavet2d: A5: A5: health literacy access to care peer support affordability government policies #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @Chri5solas: @DiabetesSocMed Q5. #dsma Affordability. Literacy. Support. Access. Policies. Government. |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Access to care has to include affordability, because if you can't afford it you can't access it #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O @DiabetesSocMed A5 - 1 - Access to care 2 - Policies 3 - Government 4 - Affordability 5 - Peer support 6 - Health literacy #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @MidAmericanMom Hi Kathryn, welcome! I have LADA. I am so glad you found us. How are you holding up? #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed A5. #dsma health literacy Peer support And the rest |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed @MidAmericanMom LADA here too Kathryn :) So many in one virtual place :) #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Also, government/policies affect access/affordability - many meds r available in 1 country but not another, at highly variable costs #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @JanJava Q5 is: In order of importance 2 you: access to care, health literacy, government, peer support, and policies & affordability #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q6. Going back Q5, what would you add to the list and why? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana So... A5: Health literacy, access to care, peer and family support. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava @StephenSType1 @JanJava Thanks! #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q6. Going back Q5, what would you add to the list and why? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q6. Family support. If your family is against you taking proper care of yourself, or making it unaffordable... #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @SweeterCherise A6. Medical and public awareness maybe. So much misinformation, even among medical professionals leading to poor diagnosis and long term complications #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Family support may be even higher priority than access to care, because it affects one's ability to access needed care #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d Q6: mental clarity #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A5. access to care, peer support, health literacy, policies & affordability, government #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @PracticalDeeb: @SweeterCherise A6. Medical and public awareness maybe. So much misinformation, even among medical professionals leading to poor diagnosis and long term complications #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @tmana: Q6. Family support. If your family is against you taking proper care of yourself, or making it unaffordable... #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q6. Age-appropriate access to care & education & mental health resources. Diabetes can't be managed the same throughout your life span #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q6: Family support. Extended family for caregivers. So many don’t have that. Hard to comprehend. #DSMA |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q6. Going back Q5, what would you add to the list and why? #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A5. mental health support is very important for the whole family #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q6: I’m not sure. Maybe support from friends and family. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed I cannot believe I forgot about this. We will talk more about mental health in the coming months. It is EXTREMELY important. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @staceysimms: Q6: Q6: Family support. Extended family for caregivers. So many don’t have that. Hard to comprehend. #DSMA |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A6: prescription cost stabilization #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed We have time for one more question. #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica @PracticalDeeb @SweeterCherise Adding to that, education for HCP who work in hospitals. I've experienced so many who don't know how to manage diabetes when I'm hospitalized for DKA or for non-D illnesses. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @StephenSType1: Q6. Age-appropriate access to care & education & mental health resources. Diabetes can't be managed the same throughout your life span #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @staceysimms: Q6: Q6: Family support. Extended family for caregivers. So many don’t have that. Hard to comprehend. #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana What are the components of access to care? Cost, availability of HCPs and Tx, transportation, family support, govt and ins policies #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: We have time for one more question. #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O SO true! Good add @StephenSType1 #DSMA |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama @SweetHiyachica @PracticalDeeb @SweeterCherise I’m working on it. :) #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q7. Random: If you found out you were diagnosed with diabetes right now, as opposed to the time you were first diagnosed, what would you do differently today? #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama RT @StephenSType1: Q6. Age-appropriate access to care & education & mental health resources. Diabetes can't be managed the same throughout your life span #dsma |
 | ScrapStitcher - Wear a mask. Vaccinate. Patience. @Donna_Apperson @DiabetesSocMed I didn't realize mental clarity was a thing with T2 diabetes! #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Also, workplace support should be added to Q6 - if you can't test/correct when/where needed for safety, public issues... #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels Mental health is critically important to living well with diabetes long term. That would have to be added to my list. #dsma |
| ScrapStitcher - Wear a mask. Vaccinate. Patience. @Donna_Apperson @DiabetesSocMed Comply. #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A7. If I knew nothing about D, then nothing different. With my knowledge today, the only difference would be getting onto DPP-4 inhibitors earlier. #DSMA |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q7. Random: Q7. Random: If you found out you were diagnosed with diabetes right now, as opposed to the time you were first diagnosed, what would you do differently today? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q7. Not sure, because I'd have fewer options for dealing with it based on cost, dietary options, etc. That good early care helped #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A7: for me, it’s too soon! I think I am approaching 1500 finger sticks (lifetime). I probably won’t know for another 5 yrs. That being said, if anyone sees me doing anything foolish or dangerous, let me know, I can use all the help I can get. #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q7: I’m not sure. Probably be more stressed about cost. When I started my fist aduktnjob I made sure to pick insurance based on the fact I have diabetes. Otherwise i d probably have been like most 20 somethings who choose minimal coverage. #DSMA |

| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O Going back to Q5 - Govt has an impact on just about everything besides peer support. When you think about govt policies that increase/reduce the digital divide, then it even has a peer support impact as well. #DSMA |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A7. Probably would have asked about a pump and CGM earlier. #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q7. Oh, I'd learn as much as I could from as many sources as possible. I didn't do that at 28 and my first 10 years were hard #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @Donna_Apperson Yes, it does. #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q7: Wow. B is now 14. It would be SO different, but also very much the same. I’d have to really think on that. #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava Q7? #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @tmana Tabling this for another week. We can make this into an hour chat. If you have ideas or questions to add, let me know. #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels Q7. If I was dx'd today, I would not spend the years alone with diabetes that I did. I would seek out opportunities to be around other PWDs in real life. #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q7: also I’d probably feel more stressed since I now live farther from family support #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed The time really flew by tonight. It is time to wrap things up, closing thoughts...#dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @JanJava Q7. If you were diagnosed now instead of when you were, what would you do differently? #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d @woodonwheels #wisdom #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: The time really flew by tonight. It is time to wrap things up, closing thoughts...#dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed A7. Leave out agitation from equation. Leave out worry. Leave out fear. Leave out guilt. Enter the union with diabetes without a negative baggage #dsma |
| ScrapStitcher - Wear a mask. Vaccinate. Patience. @Donna_Apperson @woodonwheels How do we find those people? I went to a group in my town, but I was the only person who showed up the second time. #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Closing: glad I got to participate even if I’m at work. I’ve been scheduled for a lot of Wednesday’s recently. #DSMA |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A7 - Since virtually zero technology was available when I was first diagnosed, I would jump on the pump/cgm/loop/OpenAps train immediately. #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 CT: this is just what I needed tonight. Hope to see some of you in Florida next week. Thanks @SweeterCherise for fantastic questions! #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists CT. Was distracted by a number of thoughts which kept insisting. Sorry if it appeared that I wasn't fully involved. #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Closing thoughts? #dsma is a wonder and so is @SweeterCherise https://t.co/Wmodml7fv6 |
 | OpenAPS.org @OpenAPS RT @YOGA_O: A7 - Since virtually zero technology was available when I was first diagnosed, I would jump on the pump/cgm/loop/OpenAps train immediately. #DSMA |
 | A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice @DiabetesSocMed Whatever order as long as government is last #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Closing thoughts: Thank you for sharing and chatting tonight. I look forward to more conversations like this in the future. If you have topics, shoot me a DM. #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d CT: Really enjoyed the questions tonight, and as always, I loved the answers too. For one hour each week, y’all are family. #dsma |
 | @ReecesPiecesDiabetes @ReecesPiecesDi Could not agree more with Chris. I love to recommend @BeyondType2 for persons that I meet and get to know with Type 2 diabetes. @mandy_reece #peer #support |
| Brenda Bell @tmana CT: We all have different ways of looking at life with diabetes as a constant companion #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava Closing: Be kind to yourself, your community & the world. Start every day with gratitude(sp?) & Never Give Up! #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O CT - oh so many! But if I had a gratitude journal @SweeterCherise would be in it for today! #DSMA |
 | =ger= @fnjerseygirl @DiabetesSocMed sorry i missed you guys tonite. was cleaning my bathrooms. #dsma |
 | 👽Etsh (V6Sh) Project🐡 @v6shell @DiabetesSocMed The top spot on my list is for 1) affordable #insulin & other #diabetes supplies. Then, 2) affordability and 3) access to care without insurance. ( cause insurance sucks in my world ) #dsma ( tengo #T1D o #DiabetesTipo1 ) #insulin4all |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica CT: As always, where did the hour go? Thanks @SweeterCherise for a thought-provoking chat. It was great to see so many people here who haven't been to #dsma in a while. |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @T2DRemission Love the personal trainers idea. Gym memberships, yeah! Oh, but transportation to/from and time to use them... #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama RT @JanJava: Closing: Closing: Be kind to yourself, your community & the world. Start every day with gratitude(sp?) & Never Give Up! #dsma |
| Martin Wood @woodonwheels @Donna_Apperson It's tricky, and age-dependent. As an adult, JDRF events, FFL has an adult track, and there's also ADA and AADE. Professional diabetes conferences can be very beneficial to people living with diabetes, as well as the professionals working with diabetes. #dsma |
