Abstract Background: Social networking in the context of health is a fairly new phenomenon. The diabetes online community (DOC) is a way for individuals with diabetes, and their caregivers, to engage with others who have a vested interest in diabetes. The DOC encompasses diabetes specific social networking sites, general social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter), blogs, vlogs, and discussion boards. Different from medical advice, DOC users are generating peer-to-peer discussions about diabetes based on their own experiences. There is a lack of understanding about peer-to-peer health on disease specific social networking sites as it relates to value gained by the individual members.
