Get involved, support each other
Diabetes UK has been an innovator in branching out into all the main social media websites, in an effort to reach people who need us by setting up pages on the sites you use every day.
Information, support and engagement
Almost two-thirds of people using the internet communicate through online communities such as Facebook, Myspace and YouTube and, lately, newer services such as Twitter.
We want our supporters to be able to talk to us and each other online in an environment and that is informative, supportive and engaging.
