National Diabetes Awareness Month-November!

November is American Diabetes Month, a time to bring even greater awareness and attention to the seriousness of diabetes, its deadly complications, and the importance of proper diabetes control. This year, the American Diabetes Association is asking the American public, "Why should you care about diabetes?"

Throughout the month, my sister blog, Lil' Bit This...Lil' Bit That... will encourage others to get involved in efforts to raise awareness about diabetes and its serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness and amputations.

This disease hits close to home with us, as two of our three children have Type 1 Diabetes. It's a 365/24/7 life-threatening disease that insulin is NOT a cure for, but a mere band-aid! Please join in our efforts as we help raise awareness of this epidemic.
