Our Diabetes Online Community (aka #DOC) is an ever-evolving space on the Internet, and since it's early days there has been a constant ebb and flow of new information sites, blogs and forums that offer different things for different people living with diabetes.
You Are Not Alone. Here's proof, in blogroll-style. These are sites and blogs that have caught our eye over the years, from those many years ago when the 'Mine began in 2005 to the most current ones on our radar. Please let us know of others not listed, or if any of the below-mentioned sites are no longer working (we do our best to keep this list updated, but it's tough; and so we keep inactive/non-current sites listed as long as they still direct to the old blog content).
This isour story. Each day, new chapters with more stories are written. It continues on and you're all a part of it. Thank you for everything you write, advocate, and do overall to share parts of your life with diabetes. The DOC wouldn't be the same without you.
