We live in exciting times where a few taps with your fingers can connect you with a beautiful community of support from all over the world. No longer are we expected to handle problems on our own or struggle through difficult situations without support. Blogs and informative websites (like ours) can be found on virtually any topic, so there is no limit to the virtual support available to you.
The same can be said for diabetes. Here are five diabetes blogs that are totally rocking the social support and are fun to read, too.
#1 Speaking of Diabetes
The Joslin Diabetes Center created this blog to bring all the latest research and news straight to the reader in a fun and approachable way. Joslin is the leader in diabetes news and research, so their blog is an incredible resource of valuable information. They break down the studies for you so that you don’t have to.
#2 The Fit Blog
Reading about diabetes all day, every day is a dull task that few of us envy. The Fit Blog is like a breath of fresh air in this way. Rather than focusing on diabetes, they focus on fitness and health. One of the authors, Christel, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 19 so the entire blog is naturally diabetes-friendly.
#3 Six Until Me
Six Until Me is one of the original diabetes blogs online. This means that there is a well-established community of readers that regularly visit, comment, and connect with other readers (all virtually, of course). If you’re looking for a real community feel, this is the blog for you.
Everybody loves food. Everybody. Unfortunately, diabetics are often cast aside into the “cannot eat” group, though that is the furthest from the truth. This blog acknowledges that food is amazing, cooking is fun, and diabetes requires a bit of thought. For some fun recipes, check out this blog.
#5 Bitter-Sweet
Bitter-Sweet is like having your friendly next door neighbor, who is also diabetic, over for tea. There are great discussions, stories, complaints, and successes shared throughout the blog so that you can truly feel connected with someone going through the same things as you.
