TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

In Twitter, there are hashtags such as #musicmonday, #charitytuesday and #followfriday.

What if we institute a "day" hashtag for #diabetes? For ex #bgwednesday or #testingthursday.

Thoughts?

Needs to be shortened. Character limit on Twitter is already too short! #bgwed?

I like #bgwed too! Good thinking, Susi! Every character we can save is precious on Twitter! :)

So would this be a single Wednesday blood test, or just an all day thing as we test?

Good question. What are your thoughts?

All day thing. Ok you asked Bernard, not me, but that's my two cents. :)

I would like to add MY 2 cents also... I think any number of times on Wednesday would be best. The more we tweet it, the quicker it will spread. If you only get one chance to tweet on any given Wed., post a new tweet for each blood glucose number so far, along with the #bgwed hashtag. Anyone agree?

P.S. Way to go Manny! Always thinking!
