As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive. But so often, living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like. Until now. Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the T2D community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you.

New branding is stupid
Like so many companies, they got cutesy with their branding and spent lots of time, money, and energy that could have been used in more meaningful ways.

Like the inter reaction with the pry. The ease of operation of app.
Bug?
When I type a long message into the message box using iPhone 12 mini my lines of type soon disappear beneath the onscreen keyboard. I can use my fingers to pull the message box upward but as soon as I let go, or even before, the box disappears beneath the keyboard again. So I can’t fix typos or reread what I just wrote. Please fix this. It is extremely frustrating and infuriating. I don’t like the app because of this.
Sorely needed app, but
Great idea, sorely needed as millions have this disease and we need a way to communicate with others. Interface I kind of a kludge. Threading could be better, no central notifications section for new posts for subscribed groups, somewhat limited. Kudos to the author for putting this together. I’ll continue to use it.
A little disappointed
I love the concept of this app. All the people are great and the support from members is phenomenal! But that being said the app itself needs a lot of help. I don’t receive notifications like I should it’s all over the map sometimes yes most times no. There are glitches like you hit on a notification and it goes to a blank screen and sits and flashes. And finally don’t try to search for anything because that is disorganized at best. I went to look for a past post because I needed more information on it a it was nowhere to be found. I had things come up from years ago but never found what I was looking for and that was only posted a few weeks ago. I hope the developers can fix these problems because it would be the most awesome app ever. But am still very grateful for the support of the members.
