What an amazing talk by @kellyclose about the relevance of social media & peer support for PWD and (importantly!) also HCP. The #DOC changed my life for the better, so I loved seeing this at #ATTD2021. #dedoc #dedocvoices @diaTribeNews @ATTDconf (1/7)
The Diabetes Online Community #DOC has grown enormously over the past 10-15 years & it has some amazing benefits for PWD - the feeling of community, understanding & empowerment regarding their own health is just unique. #ATTD2021 #dedoc #dedocvoices (2/7)
As data shows, engagement in the #DOC also strongly predicts better glycemic outcomes, greatly reducing the chance of having an A1C over 7%. #ATTD2021 #dedoc #dedocvoices (3/7)
"If we think about healthcare economics, we KNOW that investing earlier will help us all do better later. Not only financially speaking but also our productivity level and how we feel." @kellyclose @diaTribeNews #ATTD2021 #dedoc #dedocvoices (4/7)
TL;DR: The #DOC is an amazing & fun place for PWD & HCP to meet & exchange insights. I've learned more from the #DOC than I would've ever learned from my endo visits and it's a place to collectively laugh (or cry) about our lives with diabetes. #ATTD2021 #dedoc #dedocvoices (7/7)
