DHF is truly an invaluable community of people helping people. Since the inception of the Internet one of its most valuable features is the ability to communicate , network with like minded people remotely. This is true since its beginning and its ever so true and valuable today. DHF permits a community of people whose life has been touched for ever, to stand up and reach out a helping hand to others. Mankind is extremely generous in its soul and helping other is a way of helping ourselves. As a doctor touched by diabetes what my own scientific mind found hard to accept the people from all over the world with simplicity and loving care got me on track again.

I was diagnosed T2 at 57 (a gift from my father) and sent home with an enraging brochure full of smiling people that made me want to throw up. I just wanted to stay in bed and never eat again until my BS didn't matter anymore because I was dead. I struggled alone for 3 months until I found TuDiabetes and suddenly I began to figure it out----every newbie question answered promptly with compassion and exactitude and expertise and humor, too! I love how globally diverse the community is. How diverse we are in experience with this scourge. From newbies to those doing well after 60 years of living with it. I believe that the open-hearted, deeply loving approach to life of the founders has woven itself into every aspect of the site. And hey---when I joined 3 years ago, I didn't even know how to cut and paste--a regular old fogie on the computer. I have gotten to be a whiz at those things as a dividend---there's always an attitude of teaching whatever needs to be taught!

TuDiabetes, the social network of people that are affected by diabetes, either directly or indirectly, is a wonderful source of information, tips, and simply friendship and comfort for us diabetics. Diabetes is a situation where the availability of information makes a true difference in the quality of life.

TuDiabetes provides a safe place for people who live with this overwhelming disease to find solace, comfort, support and education. There is nothing that can replace the feeling of being in a "room," virtually or physically. TuDiabetes is that "room" for people across the globe.

helping people with diabetes find community. Diabetes can be a lonely disease. I'm the only one in my family with diabetes. Testing, injecting, counting carbs, testing again - no one in my family or friends can really understand that. But ... there is a place where everyone gets it. On TuDiabetes, I can share my challenges and triumphs and learn from others and they can learn from me. It's where everybody know your game.

My youngest child was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 6. Nine years and four pumps later (longboarding is tough on pumps) he is a healthy and happy teenager who, on a daily basis, grows in his ability to independently manage his diabetes. Diabetes Hands Foundation has greatly contributed to his growth because of the support it offered me, his mother. Receiving advice and gaining perspective from other caregivers, DHF provided a community that kept this mother moving forward one day at a time.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

This organization has allowed me to connect with others who have diabetes. This may not seem like a big deal, but it really is. Helping people with a condition, such as diabetes, connect with others allows someone like me to not feel so alone, so isolated. It also provides a lot of helpful information about diabetes management. I know I've learned more about diabetes and how to deal with certain situations from this organization than I have from all of my doctors and educators. This organization is a blessing to anyone touched by diabetes.
