***** DID YOU KNOW *****

A study by University of Edinburgh found that the Diabetes Forum is the most active social medium for people with diabetes, compared to Twitter and Facebook!

An October 2017 study by Dr Bernardi and Dr Wu of Royal Holloway, University of London looked at the responses of 1,500 members of the Diabetes Forum. The objective of the study was two-fold: to analyse the impact of participating in the Diabetes Forum on membersā€™ wellbeing, and to understand how community knowledge influenced interactions between members and their doctors and how this affected their subsequent treatment.

In a presentation of their preliminary findings, Dr Bernardi and Dr Wu reported four significant conclusions:

#1 The Diabetes Forum is empowering
#2 The Diabetes Forum has had a positive impact on participantsā€™ wellbeing
#3 The Diabetes Forum can influence patient-doctor relationships
#4 The Diabetes Forum can be a catalyst of innovation

Dr Bernardi and Dr Wu discovered that engaged Diabetes Forum members were more confident in discussing their health with their doctor or nurse, and this made them feel more comfortable in managing their diabetes.

We ran a survey in November 2018, and it showed:

* A huge 73% of forum members said that they had improved their understanding of diabetes because of information on the diabetes forum
* 44% of forum members said they had improved their blood glucose control
* 35% of forum members said the forum had helped them to reduce their HbA1c
* 55% of forum members said they had improved their diet choices
* And almost half of the forum members who completed the survey said they had more confidence in managing their diabetes!

When I try to login to the forum I keep getting rejected and I can't reregister. Access etc could be made simpler. My diabetes is not a state secret. The sundry exclamation marks seem a bit childish. I am sometimes instructed to use a web browser instead of using the app - why? What's the point of the app if it won't let me access the forum?

Despite being a long time member of these forums, the app will not allow me to log in. It keeps saying my password is incorrect, which prompted me to change it in case I was mistaken, but I still can't log in

This app is a disaster. "network error. Can't register silent token" error message as soon as I open the app. Useless.
