Wikipedia:The Diabetes App Inc

The Diabetes App is a free community  app for iOS and Android devices. First launched by TLC Platforms Inc. in Toronto, Canada, The Diabetes App was created for members of the diabetic community to connect and get community support from individuals with similar struggles. The application acts as a hybrid between a social media platform for posting, commenting, creating profiles, and adding friends, as well as a resource hub for information about diabetes management with support through articles, podcasts, live-streams, and exercise videos.

History
TLC Platforms Inc. was founded by Sean Zaboroski in Toronto, Canada in July, 2020 for the purpose of creating online social media spaces that provide safe online environments for communities that are typically underserved. The concept  of DMP - Diabetes Management Platform emerged when the TLC team noticed that many diabetics were frustrated with the lack of type-distinguished communities on existing social media platforms    and that the lack of education can result in increasing cases of diabetes. In April of 2021, the company was rebranded under The Diabetes App.

Services
On The Diabetes App, users can join a number of group forums that differentiate between type 1 and type 2. Aside from type-specific forums, there are also forums that are targeted towards parents of type 1 kids, geriatric diabetics, gestational diabetics, and many more. The forums allow for a unique diabetes online community where people can find support on a network that understands the daily tasks of diabetes management. Additionally, the users can connect by direct messages to learn tricks and tips from each other.

The Diabetes App also hosts professionals and diabetics, such as licensed dietitians, diabetes influencers, and medical researchers, that contribute in building a resource section full of information. Resources such as live streams , articles  and recipes are added and updated weekly to keep the content fresh for all users. Recently, new categories of resources have been added such as exercise videos, podcasts and a carb count guide. All these informational tools were purposely created to guide and educate towards better diabetes management and is available for free on the platform.
