Streamlining our registration questions: your thoughts

Hey everyone,
I wanted to let you know we've streamlined our Registration Questions, in an effort to only ask what we think are essential questions. We removed the following questions.
  • Hometown (where you come from):
  • What glucose meter do you use?
  • How did you find out about us? What were you searching for?
  • Who referred you?How can TuDiabetes help you? (if anyone)
  • What do you do for a living?

Do you have any other thoughts/comments on the remaining questions?
  • Do you have diabetes or pre-diabetes? - Yes, No, I have a loved one with diabetes, I am not sure
  • I have: No diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Type 1.5 (LADA) Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Other type of diabetes, Not sure what type of diabetes
  • Date diagnosed
  • Most recent A1C (Blood Glucose Average) Value
  • Type of treatment/devices you use
  • Oral, Shots, Pump, CGM, Diet and Exercise, N/A
  • What pump model do you use, if any?
  • What is the address for your Facebook profile, if any?
  • What is the address for your Twitter profile or other web site, if any?
  • How can TuDiabetes help you? (we just reworded this one, any suggestions on better wording?)
  • I wish to receive the TuDiabetes monthly email newsletter

Any questions you feel are unnecessary? Why?
Any questions you feel we should be asking? Why?

BTW, if your profile is outdated, you can updated by clicking on the "Settings" link at the top right or follow this URL: http://www.tudiabetes.org/profiles/settings/editProfileInfo

Badmoon,

My type has disappeared from my page also. Interesting that this hasn't effected everyone. I'll alert the other admins. Did you notice when this happened?

Gerri,
You guys are going faster than I can keep up (and I am slower than usual, b/c I am sick with a cold).

The historical data we had, as a result of the changes to questions over time had generated a massive chaos that led us to the decision to do a fresh start with a new question.

Inserting the new question, we removed the previous one, which resulted in the disappearance of the types from people's pages.

We have scheduled a newsletter tomorrow morning, to tell members to please update their profile registration questions.

Thanks, Manny.

Put your hands in the air & walk slowly away from computer:) Get some rest & feel better soon.

OK, put mine back too. I really can't say when I was diagnosed (long story) except for the season and the year, so I made up the month/day LOL
