Topic: General Discussion / Peer Support for People with Diabetes

Very valid points guys, and even from the HCP perspective, they are usually worried about legal side, etc especially when giving out too specific medical advice for an individual publically. It's on our own heads if we do it ourselves (though that's why we have disclaimers). My own health team will only allow me to email them rather than contact through this site for that reason.

The main tweet chats I've tried joining in on are mainly the #ourD and #gbdoc ones - though I did hear that Diabetes UK plan to join in on these so another one maybe around the corner to accompany the Google Plus hangouts. I think the #ourD one tends to be tuesdays and is run by Our Diabetes UK and the #gbdoc is run by group of the same name.

The #gbdoc tweet chats can be followed here, and the #ourD chats here, if you don't have a twitter account. You will need an account to join in still though.

Very interested in the coming DUK Google Plus hangout on the 12th November; it's all about stress!

The next #ourD chat is about World Diabetes Day and the next #gbdoc one is about "preparing your diabetes for christmas".

If anyone has been having trouble getting to the #ourD site, it's because they've been hit with a few DoSS attacks lately. No idea why cyber attacks are wanted to happen to things like this (and charities have been hit too I've noticed).
