Accu-Chek Diabetes Link - Accu-Check Engaging with Diabetes Influencers and Patients. In October 2009, Roche Diagnostics launched a Canadian social site called Accu-Check Diabetes Link.
Despite a rather clean and simple look, there appear to be several opportunities within the site to influence the user’s experience. There is the site itself, which encompasses; a blog: You can subscribe to the blog via RSS or e-mail. You can also share the blog articles, but you cannot add comments. links to various diabetes online resources: “What we’re reading”,diabetes news from online sources: “In the News”,a widget called ‘The NEST‘ which helps diabetes tweeps stay in contact with one another and even introduce themselves to the diabetes community on Twitter. As well as product and corporate information (see tabs at the top of the home page “Accu-Check Products” and “About”). The site also leads the user to a few external Accu-Check social networks such as FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube. What is the objective of the Accu-Check Diabetes Link site? Where do the site visitors come from? Diabetes Social Media Summit 2010: my thoughts.
Image map HTML code by: Bernard Farrell It’s been less than a year since the first Diabetes Social Media Summit took place.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge (not even sure if that phrase exists in English, but you get the idea!) This year, the summit took place in Orlando, book-ended by the ADA Scientific Sessions and the Children With Diabetes Friends for Life conferences. Also, in 2010, the number attendees grew and type 2 diabetes was represented by more bloggers too (Betizuka, Rachel Baumgartel and Bob, among them). Naturally, getting to see so many great DOC friends in person was the biggest highlight of the event.
In case you are curious about what Roche presented to us (this probably took about 30 minutes out of a half a day that the summit lasted, to give you perspective), Scott Strumello uploaded the Powerpoint slides we got from them and I have embedded them below: The high point in the agenda was the participation of ADA and AADE in the summit.

I have just finished participating in the Roche Diabetes Social Media Summit, which is perhaps my favorite 24 hour period of the year. It’s like Christmas, Thanksgiving and a family reunion with people you actually like all combined into one. But honestly, I think it might even be better than that. I have spent almost 10 years of my life participating in some form or another of the online diabetes community, and in a way, I really do consider my diabetes family to be a real true family. My experiences in the community started at a fairly young age, and I consider myself to be partially raised in the diabetes community. Roche began with their presentation on what they accomplished this year, which included, amazingly enough, a new commercial for one of their meters that included real blood sugar readings of 192 mg/dl and 273 mg/dl from the real people with diabetes in the commercial.
