TODAY IS THE DAY, PEOPLE! Day 14 of National Diabetes Awareness - TopicsExpress



          

TODAY IS THE DAY, PEOPLE! Day 14 of National Diabetes Awareness Month, aka WORLD DIABETES DAY! Today we wear blue. Today we make a statement that will lift the spirits of countless individuals, an entire community. Today we remind anyone touched by diabetes that they are not alone, they are strong, and on the days they feel weak, we will lend them our strength. Today we make the world a safe space for people who are scared and need others to understand, as we add a beacon of blue to someones daily commute, coffee break, stroll down the sidewalk. I wear blue because I know what it means to live and grapple with diabetes every day. I wear blue because if I can help someone feel less defeated by an endless struggle like this, I will do it in a heartbeat. I wear blue because feeling alone in diabetes hurts, and I want to ease that pain just like others have eased mine. I wear blue because Im looking for support, too, and the best way is to reach out. I wear blue because I want a cure, and I want it loudly. Why do you wear blue? If youre wearing blue today, post/send me a picture with a caption explaining why youre wearing blue! Thanks for your participation, everyone! [And let me know if youll be at the walk in Los Altos tonight! There will be lots of blue and balloons and happy faces! Mine will be especially happy if youre there :) ]
