Can you promote in r/diabetes?
For humans living with diabetes: discussion, issues, and news.
The short answer
Do not post promotional content or solicit users; engage only as a regular community member without mentioning your product/company and follow medical-advice and civility rules.
What works here
- Non-promotional personal experiences
- Supportive, civil discussion
- Referring people to healthcare professionals (non-diagnostic)
What gets posts removed
- Posting ads, product announcements, demos or links to apps
- Running surveys, fundraisers, or research recruitment
- Posting from corporate accounts or overtly representing a company
- Using AI-generated text as advice or posting AI stories
