Abstract<br />
The Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that 86% of Internet<br />
users living with a disability or chronic illness have looked for health<br />
information online (Fox, 2007). And while so-called e-patients often<br />
start this search for information, many find themselves led to commnities<br />
that provide this and more, such as Tu Diabetes, an online social<br />
network site. This pause in what can seem like an endless search for<br />
answers may be one that health professionals can gain insight from.<br />
Such extended pauses may give insightinto the values of this particular<br />
community. This article provides the results and analysis of a<br />
study using ethnographic methods and rhetorical analysis to examine<br />
the texts posted by members of the social networking site Tu Diabetes<br />
in order to discern the values held by this community.<br />

Introduction<br />
The Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that 86% of<br />
Internet users living with disability or chronic illness have looked<br />
online for information compared with 79% of Internet users<br />
with no chronic conditions (Fox, 2007). Those with chronic conditions<br />
are more likely than other e-patients (Internet users who<br />
havelooked online for health information) to report that their<br />
online searches affected treatment decisions, their interactions with<br />
their doctors, their ability to cope with their condition, and their dieting<br />
and fitness regimen (Fox, 2008). And while so-called e-patients<br />
often start this online search for information, many find themselves<br />
led to communities such as Tu Diabetes, an online «community of<br />
people touched by diabetes,» for much more.<br />
