Great

This app came at such an important time in my life when I felt alone and couldn’t find anyone who would understand what I was dealing with, but this app has introduced me to a community of diabetics who I can relate too and vent too when needed. So happy I came across this app.

TDA is a must have!!

I absolutely love how this app is used to connect people from all over the world who are all so different but have one thing in common - diabetes. Being a diabetic can feel lonely at times, even if you have great friends/family. But there’s nothing quite like connecting with people who can directly relate. You need this app! Download it! 💙

Cauliflower stirfry with Melissa

Melissa always makes things look so easy! She is concise and to the point. I will definitely try this as soon as I receive the recipe.

Trash app

This app is trying to sell you upcharged diabetes products. Don’t bother.

Bare Bones App, Questionable Business Practices

The app itself is not impressive at all. Lots of issues with bots joining and trying to message you for “dating”—this is not a dating app, is supposed to be a diabetes community app. The Diabetes App (TDA) said that they released a fix for it by requiring users to verify their accounts by confirming via a link sent to our emails, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. You can’t delete private message convos at all, so every spammer who messages you will stay in your inbox forever.

Not to mention the app is so bare bones it’s almost useless. It’s just one gigantic feed of everyone on the app, and you can only filter for a 5 groups—all types, type 1, type 2, type 1 adults, and type 1 kids. You can’t search for common interests or even find new friends local to you—you just have to post a message and hope that someone in your area is looking at the app around the same time.

TDA also doesn’t seem to want to pay diabetic creators for their content, and just rips them off instead while also contacting these creators asking them to pay to advertise on the app. Instead of apologizing, they tried to gaslit the creator who called them out and also announced their intent to IPO in the same semi/non-apology. They plan to make money by creating a pharmacy within their app and also by having ads, but they seem to have no plans to make the app a good experience for users.

Stealing Miss Diabetes Art Ideas

The app developers have stolen multiple ideas from Miss Diabetes (a T1D artist) because she didn’t want to have her artwork on their app. They then offered for HER to pay them to advertise. Unreal. Unfortunately, it seems like this app has fallen into the moral ambiguity of every other service offered to diabetics. We are viewed as cash cows and that’s about it.

The best app ever

In my opinion this is the best app ever! I’ve made so many new friends off of it and I’ve been able to help some people to and I’ve gotten help from a lot of these amazing people too! But one thing that is a little annoying and you guys can’t do anything about is the amount of men who just friend you and then start messing you really weird stuff. A lot of them you guys have blocked off the app but other than that I absolutely love this app! Thank you so so much for it!!!!!!’

DMP Review

Amazing app! I love connecting with my fellow diabetics on here. It’s awesome that this app offers different categories for age so you can find young adult diabetics who relate to you! Thank you so much to whoever started this application.

Not what was expected

I’m not finding great information for me and my T1 journey on this app. I also received my first creepy message on day 1. Now I’m trying to figure out how to delete my account.

Really awesome app!

This app is really great because it connects you directly to the diabetic community. I have used it to ask questions and opinions on all things diabetes. The only thing that’s a concern is people who send “please accept my flower” messages. I’m not sure why but it does make me a little uneasy. I’m not sure if others are experiencing the same thing. But besides that, it’s really great!
