Thanks for donating 15 minutes of your time for a GREAT cause…to spread the news about diabetes support!!
Hello everyone!
I am a graduate student at the University of Michigan trying to recruit group members with type 2 diabetes to take a 15 minute survey about identity with the illness, identity with your support group and the types of self-management goals you set and achieve with the help of tudiabetes. The survey is online at Zoomerang and the link to access the survey is

(If you can’t click directly on the link above, please copy and paste into your web browser)
At the end of the survey, you will be asked to provide a home address, email address to be paid by Paypal or you may opt to donate your incentive to the American Diabetes Association. To date, respondents of this study have already donated over $300 to help fund research for type 2 diabetes! Thank you all for your help in this process. I believe in tudiabetes and the benefits of online peer support and want to publish my work so that health care providers can recommend the use of peer support to help patients self-manage their condition.
