Blogging has skyrocketed in the past few years as a means for people to share their experiences and their opinions. In the past few years, dozens of blogs about living with diabetes have been started by those who know the disease best: people with diabetes and their families. JDRF is introducing a new round table series with nine bloggers in the online diabetes community. They all have different backgrounds, were diagnosed at different stages in life and have different styles of managing their diabetes. Scott Johnson, Bernard Farrell, and Kerri Morrone were all diagnosed as children and are insulin pump users. Allie Beatty and Scott Strumello were also diagnosed as children but currently use multiple daily injections. Manny Hernandez, Amy Tenderich, and Gina Capone were all diagnosed as adults. Sandra Miller has a son with diabetes who was diagnosed three years ago and is on an insulin pump.
You'll get to hear their experiences with the disease, their opinions on technology and their thoughts on new research. For the first round table, the bloggers are discussing their experiences with blogging and social networks and how it has impacted their life with diabetes.
