Introduction and Objective: To gain feedback from users and assess engagement with the DiabetesWISER (DWer) community forum and DiabetesWise (DW) website – a neutral and unbiased platform for diabetes technology and exercise resources.Methods: User testing was conducted to understand needs and utilization patterns of people with diabetes and healthcare providers (HCPs) using these platforms.Results: During 2024, DW had 43,000 active users. The top searches were 1) Device finder: Comparison tool; 2) Exercise; and 3) Checkup tool. DWer was released in Nov 2024 so data are not available yet. Fifteen adults were interviewed (Table 1), and they found the main DW page helpful for its images (n=8) and materials for new-onset diabetes (n=5). While feedback on the exercise page was positive, users (n=6) requested more inclusive content for older adults. We shared content in development (i.e. activity tracker table comparing various devices). Most users (n=11) wanted to see the full table published. Some users (n=3) would utilize DW more if they could upload their CGM data for glycemia optimization advice around exercise. Those who used DWer regularly (n=9) valued the “Ask the Expert” series and its association with Stanford.Conclusion: Feedback from users about the content and community was very positive. Next steps include adding more content and making it easier for people with diabetes and HCPs to access and utilize vetted resources around diabetes technology and exercise.
