Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes and Their Perspectives on Diabetes-Related Social Media: Qualitative Study
SM has the potential to help young adults with T1D feel a sense of community, seek and share objective and subjective thoughts and feelings about diabetes, motivate diabetes self-care, and positively affect emotional state. However, it may also have the potential to demotivate self-care and exacerbate negative emotional state with regards to diabetes.
