We believe in the core principles of peer support and the Diabetes Online Community
#dedoc° is an international community by and for people with diabetes.
#dedoc° builds community for advocacy in diabetes. We run the world’s largest scholarship program for diabetes advocates, drive a global network of #dedoc° voices to impact public policy and host symposia, #docdays° and Virtual World Diabetes Day to raise awareness around living with chronic conditions.
Our #dedoc° voices scholarship program enables diabetes advocates to attend some of the world’s most renowned scientific conferences, while our #dedoc° symposia and #docdays° have established themselves as a platform for the international voice of people living with diabetes.
We believe in the core principles of peer support and the Diabetes Online Community:

how it
started
#dedoc° was founded in 2012 by Bastian Hauck, who created the Twitter hashtag #dedoc to host weekly TweetChats for the German chapter of the Diabetes Online Community. It acted as a catalyst to grow a small group of diabetes bloggers into one of the strongest patient advocacy and peer support communities in Europe and beyond. Activities such as Blood Glucose Bingo, the Diaversary Project and the #dedoc° Open Blog reach thousands of PWD throughout Germany, while #docday°, the #dedoc° voices and our network of dedicated Facebook groups connect some of the most influential KOLs in the DOC across Europe and beyond.
