Abstract
This study evaluated 166 TikTok videos about three skin conditions associated with diabetes. It found that the quality of health information in these videos significantly differed based on the five creator types making the videos (person with diabetes, caregiver/parent, noncaregiver, health care professional, or health coach). There were also significant differences in the understandability and actionability of the health information provided. There is a need within the diabetes online community for higher-quality information from reliable sources regarding dermatological conditions associated with diabetes.
