If you follow any of the blogs (or twitter streams) from the Diabetes Online Community then you are more than aware of November’s importance. American Diabetes Month is a big deal but there are millions of uninformed, undiagnosed and untreated when it comes to Diabetes (big D, for all the types). In November we all shout a little bit louder to raise the collective awareness of this disease, bust some myths and generally inform a public consciousness that could use some help.

Next is a beaded bracelet I received the day after the April 16 shooting. I’ve worn it every day since. It’s a nice reminder that we’re in this together – be it coping with a massacre or to tie it back in…coping with this disease.

Finally, Big Red. Yes, I work here and it’s probably a little tacky but in my defense I was wearing these before I started working for the Association. So there!

Everyone is doing what they can, big or small to shine a little extra light on Diabetes. I might have more to say or do later in the month but for now this ia my contribution. Every bit helps.
