Interviews with diabetics
by Ely FornovilleI started working on Diabetic & Me a few weeks ago. I had no clear idea what I was going to create but I wanted to give something back to the diabetes community.
I'm a type 1 for 24 years myself and I sometimes wonder how other people live with their diabetes. How do they get affected by certain foods? What type of treatment are they on? Do they suffer from anxiety? Are they happy?
The idea became more clear and I started working on a blog where I can publish interviews with people having diabetes. I worked out a first version of the interview and posted it on Reddit. I received about 25 positive answers and in the meanwhile I received 13 filled in interviews back.
Currently I am working on the website in the hope to launch a first MVP in November.
If you have diabetes or know someone that has diabetes, you can always share the current interview: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLyb-psxQZ85KAOveXXwsR3eL98OuHFldJ3dd9azqYGYZbhQ/viewform
Any feedback on the interview is always appreciated.

This is super interesting. I definitely be staying tuned to see what you come up with, as I'm sure there are lots of ways to make the lives of diabetics better through tech.

Great idea! I've been a t1d for 25 years, I'll try to fill in the survey this week.
What I notice is that it can be difficult to handle from person to person. Personality of an entrepreneur helps a lot but in the end it's playing life on hard mode.

Thanks. 25 years; I can relate. Thanks for the survey :)
It's indeed playing life on hard mode and daily attention to it.

Very cool idea to focus in on this niche market. Physician myself and it is nice to see other indiehackers in the medical space! Insulin prices have gone insane here in the US.
