What Do We Do?
We offer support and information about diabetes to more than 200,000 people every month. Since 2008, Diabetes Hands Foundation has developed pioneering programs for people touched by diabetes. By building vibrant online communities, sharing knowledge and raising awareness, each of our programs directly help real people with diabetes.
Our Awareness Initiatives
These programs involve the participation of community members on the generation of diabetes awareness materials. Each program revolves around a specific theme and works as an interactive conduit that connects individuals through self-expression and creativity. As a result, the community participates in the generation of useful and real content, which in turn, strengthens the community through the participation and empowerment of its members.

- TuDiabetes.org (in English) connecting people touched by diabetes.
- EsTuDiabetes.org (in Spanish) conectando personas afectadas por la diabetes.
Both communities offer a culturally sensitive experience to their members (people with diabetes as well as their loved ones), helping them connect with others they can relate to. Our members can message each other or participate in discussions with the rest of the community. They can share videos, photos and blog about their lives with diabetes. Members can start their own groups or join existent interest groups. Members can track, share and compare their diabetes data, using the TuAnalyze and EsTuAnálisis applications, developed in collaboration with Children’s Hospital Boston.
