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 />
