TuDiabetes.com® was founded in March 2007, becoming the first social network focused on diabetes. It was soon dubbed "MySpace on Insulin" and later on called "Facebook for diabetics". TuDiabetes welcomes people with diabetes and their loved ones, who are also touched by the disease.
Within a few months, dozens of members turned into hundreds and, by World Diabetes Day 2007 (November 14), the network had already passed 1,300 members. In recent months, membership growth has accelerated, welcoming up to 20% new members every month. By late November 2008, there were close to 5,500 members.
TuDiabetes.com has garnered media attention, getting featured in USA Weekend, Diane Rehm Show (NPR), Hallmark Channel and the Office of Minority Health, among others. It has also been mentioned on the LA Times, ABC News, Business Week and The Baltimore Sun.
